How much do you make from your site/blog?

[tyche]

Hi all,
I was wondering how much websites/blogs make ? Yes, there are several sources on the web, but I am more interested in knowing from 'real' ppl on the forum here

1. How many websites/blogs do you have?
2. What is your revenue total?
3. How do you monetize them? (adsense/affiliate/?)
4. How was your graph..where did you start? how did you move up?
5. Links to your sites/blogs will be appreciated.


This will help a lot of others like me to understand the system better.
I will start by answering these myself

1. How many websites/blogs do you have?
A) I have 3 sites in development stage. 1 will be launched next week. It is a magazine with a lot of interesting articles like a coffee table book.

2. What is your revenue total?
None yet.
3. How do you monetize them? (adsense/affiliate/?)
I plan to focus on building good traffic first

4. How was your graph..where did you start? how did you move up?
Not yet.
5. Links to your sites/blogs will be appreciated.
Will update this once I launch my site#1 next week %%-

I think this kinda topics don't attract people. At least not to post only to read. I have one topic at DP about something like this and only 2 people have replayed so far.

I earn from Adense. as well as Amazon. Not much from Amazon thought. Only $35 last month for 500 UV and it was only from a blogspot blog.

Most people who are successful in this field tend to be protective of their urls because they don't want anyone maliciously committing click fraud or a bunch of people jumping into a small niche and/or cloning their sites.

1) Quite a few
2) That's between me, my accountant and the IRS
3) Mostly affiiate programs, some adsense, some direct advertising.
4) Started at $0. "Moved up" by learning the business, respecting my visitors, creating original, quality content, and always trying to provide something people want or need.
5) See above.

I earn my extra income thru adsense. And recently I've just earned $100+ last month.

I'm trying to find a 9-5 job again, even though I make money online and it's enough to pay all my bills. I could just take up the tons of freelance jobs available....but being:

Stuck in front of a computer all day long is not my idea of fun at all.

I agree with Datalife! It's always cool to work from 9-5pm job because you get communicate and do humanly stuff than sitting on a chair all day :\

now unless you're a single mom or single dad, then that would be understandable.

I only have 1 so far that is developed. Still a lot I could do if I could motivate myself more.
I earn between $250 and $300 month from adsense and it has been steadily growing as membership and traffic grows. UV is around the 30,000 month and growing steadily.
It is an immigration forum so has a good niche market and the forums also contain lots of information content. The key really is unique content and good SEO. Get whatever site you have out there. You have to have what others want though and are searching for. You can have all the unique content you want but it has to be sought after information. If you don't have the traffic you won't grow income from adsense and the like.

I am earning around $ 10 per mouth from one of sites. I hope it will scale up. Lets see.

 

[GamerDomainer]

I jumped from $40-60 dollars a month to $150-180 a month after a revamp of my website. It will increase even more once everything is done and reopen my sign up page. Then I can focus on marketing only. I average over $5 a day.

 

[vannarith]

Seem nobody could earn a big bug here. But to be frankly, i could afford only $20 per month per blog only and most of my earning come from selling link

Enough to pay for the dedicated server on my site.
Usually adsense pays me about $125-$150 a month!

Yup nothing special but it's cool. :bah:

 

[AkuSopo]

Just started my blog, so.. I will answer your surveys in next time

Anyway, some of my friends (in my local forum) are making money regularly 1000-3000 $ per month, so that's why we call them "adsense master"

 

[galwin]

Just enough to pay my VPS.

 

[Obulus]

Not as much as would be liked! :L

I'll bite. I remember using posts like this as motivation when I got started.

1. How many websites/blogs do you have?
Over 100

2. What is your revenue total?
Over $75k/mo

3. How do you monetize them? (adsense/affiliate/?)
PPC, Affiliate, Lead Sales, Direct Ad Sales, Subscription Sales, Listings, CPM, CPA (Hint: Diversify)

4. How was your graph..where did you start? how did you move up?
Started in 2000 just with domains and eased into websites over the next 3 years. From there it was an ongoing process of trail and error (and a lot of failure) until I found what worked for me.

5. Links to your sites/blogs will be appreciated.
A few are below (Local Database being the big earner). That said, my big affiliate money makers are completely seperate. Individual hosting accounts, private whois, not connected to anything else. No BS here. Successful marketers aren't going to post their high profit niche sites in public.

My advice it to take action and learn from your own experiences. The biggest mistake I made early was trying to do what everyone else did. The secret is paving your own way and taking unique angles.
