On January 19, I posted about where I was at and where I was going, and how I was going to get there.  Basically, it boiled down to post, post, post.  I’ve got some blogs with good potential, if only I posted a minimum of once a day, with three days being a much better [...]

Offline life’s been really busy for me lately, so there’s no much to report here.  Everything I talk about is still going the way it was the last time I talked about it.  I’m still recoding one of my aff sites and struggling to write regular posts.  I figure if I do at least a [...]

I was recently offered the opportunity to review FloristOne’s independent affiliate marketing program through ReviewMe.com. The florist/gift basket niche is one I’ve dabbled in before with little luck: the affiliate programs available via ShareASale and CommissionJunction all seemed to offer the same products and didn’t ultimately yield the results I’d hoped for.

I finished November with a record $327.  That’s from ad sales, aff sales, PayPerPost, ReviewMe and featured link purchases on one of my directories.  My goal of the moment is to make $300 per month, so I’m thrilled.  And most of this was actually cash in hand, or will be in a couple of days.

I found a new affiliate marketing/SEO forum this morning that looks promising. There’s discussion about everything from how to design your sites to how people choose what affiliate programs they’ll be joining. It’s also got sections on Commission Junction, ShareASale and other affiliate marketing programs. While there are a lot of older sites [...]

My total earnings for October were $264.81 - a combination of ad sales, affiliate sales and PayPerPost.  Which means my average earnings over the last three months were about $245 per month.  In the three months before that, it was about $110.
I’ve got $77 in ad sales to start the month, which is a little [...]
