Amazon might work... you could include some links to great business books.

I really don't make anything from my blog at all, in fact I've got 16p today, which is more than normal. I get more from parked domains, which runs at about a dollar day.

I think a more interesting question is, how much traffic does it take to turn a blog profitable? My traffic has increased from about 20 unique visitors a day to about 150-200 but revenue hasn't budged at all. It took a lot of work to get my visitors consistently at that level, but I'm not reaping the rewards.

Well it all depends upon the quality of your blog. The quality will attract more visitors to your blog and that will increase your revenues. I would call it "Law of attraction".

Almost $10/day from Adsense and near $1,000/ month from Aff Signups.

I have been making about $80 a month for the past few months, this month though so far I've managed to make $400 and it's only half way through.

How did I achieve this boost in earnings? well concentrating on link sales, payed to posts, adsense and most importantly referring affiliates to services. The last one I have never really concentrated on it, but this month I got a $250 bonus from an adsense referral, plus I'm earning a few bucks from an adbrite referral.

That's the only two referrals I have ever referred to anything of note and I think I'll be concentrating on that a little, they earn for you so you don't have to.

I'm making about $30 per month with Adsense. All I do is post on a related forum with a link to my blog in the sig and I get pretty decent traffic.

**beamup** · 09-05-2007, 04:09 AM

Well, I just made $ 140 in one week.. but that depends how much you update it and promote it. I know a guy who makes $ 500 per week..

Low to mid $x,xxx each month for the main four blogs I focus on, but two of them actually earn very little. At this point I'm more focused on perfecting my content strategy, and then I'll be working more on finding the best way to monetize each one. I agree with the poster(s) who said that you shouldn't stick to only advertising though. There are lots of things you can do to improve earnings:

Sell products
Promote your services there
Network ads
Private ads
Sponsored posts
Have a membership area
Have a newsletter tied to it with sponsorships
etc.

I think to have a blog you build trust and credibility first....dont go about blatantly posting ads. people get turned away. Once you start building credibility and using RSS Feeds more people are likely to click your ads because they can trust you.

another thing, dont break that trust once you have got it....meaning dont advertise crap if you do people will stop visiting.

**Kristee_webb** · 09-08-2007, 04:11 AM

Not a single dollar yet. Don't have the time to focus on my AS as of yet.

**Handsome** · 09-17-2007, 09:13 PM

50$-100$ depend on visitors

**jerrykhoo** · 09-18-2007, 02:39 AM

I've made a few dollars over the past 2 months. But i'm just starting so I'm not too worried.

I have been blogging for about 11 months and currently generate $200/month. Mainly use GA, Kontera, and sometimes Linkshare. Traffic is key. I am looking to start another site, and use downloadable e-books as a revenue generator.

Please forward any suggestions you may have. thanks and good luck to all

It has been my experience that blogs directed to other bloggers trying to make money online has a very low CTR, since we are all in the same game.

**jesterx** · 09-20-2007, 08:20 PM

yeah that is true but the more traffic you can get and the more they trust you they will realise you are not just selling crap
