September 2008 Blogging Income

Posted on by

Well, it’s time for the blog income report. As I noted a few days, I’m now making several changes to how I report my blog income: First I’m separating it into two parts, and now I’m also counting only cash received.

A lot of companies promise to pay for work completed, but months later I’m still sitting on nearly $200 worth of outstanding receivables. For a short time, though, it may look like I have double-counted some income. For blogging income, this will be most obvious.

So here goes, my first blog only income report: taken straight from the cash in my account.

  • Blogging: $69.02
  • Advertising: $153.88
  • Total: $222.90

Naturally, this looks smaller than it should be because there are still outstanding payments to be made from some advertisers that amount to nearly $220.00. September was also a quieter month.

 

Stats, Traffic and more

Stats wise, I was building up nicely to over 2000 visitors this past month, with over 4000 page views in the month, until I went to the UK. On my travels, I was quite unable to keep up the usual speed of posting, and the recent crescendo of visitors fell apart somewhat, though attrition wasn’t as severe as during the summer. I have somehow retained about 60-80 visitors a day, a PR-2 ranking from Google, and improving visibility on IzeaRanks.

A Special Offer

I’ve also welcomed several advertisers, too on InvestorBlogger’s sidebar, and soon-to-be 125×125 ads. Keep your eyes peeled.

The new 125×125 ads are on special sale until September 30th December 31st – $12.00 per month for a square . Maximum of 3 out of 6 squares available with only one rotation per slot. So grab them now! There are four slots left!

September 2008 Income Statements

Posted on by

In previous issues of InvestorBlogger Dot Com, I published a combined income statement across all of my ‘businesses’. With the new channels, this became a little confusing as I wasn’t sure where to place certain categories of income.

From this month, I’ll be publishing separate accounts for each type of income. Also, I promised that I would work on a cash received basis. In fact, both accounts will be treated differently for obvious reasons.

  • Dollar Traveler will publish income created from offline means: business, investing, bank interest, rental, etc.. Accounting will be cash received basis.
  • Blogging Travails will focus on online sources of income that I have used: advertising services, blogging, online sales, hosting, etc.

If you want to monitor the totals, you will have to do a little detective work yourself as I may no longer publish the totals. However this money is accounted, I will still be focusing on the principles outlined in my post at the beginning of the year.
