Monthly report for July 2009
With month six over I am pleased to report I have beaten my target once again. The goal for July was £300 but I managed to earn £435 (£28 from AWin & £407 from Amazon Associates).
I spent £16 on PPC but this only brought in one or two sales so I did lose money on that. I also signed up for Easy Content Units Pro which is about £22 a month. Apart from that it was just hosting (£6 per month) and a few more domains at £6.66 a go that I spent this month.
I will be delving into the world of PPC in August and hope to invest some of my earnings in running some successful campaigns, or at least learning some more about how Adwords works.
I’ll have left my job by the end of next week and will be moving onto pastuers new and as I won’t have a job I will lots more time to crack on with affiliate marketing. Hopefully my earnings will increase enough so that I don’t have to find another full-time job.
My target for August is £500. Wish me luck!



Congratulations that’s seriously impressive, you almost caught me -
£460.94
which breaks down as -
312.33 ebay
84.76 amazon
53.66 affiliate window
6.06 adsense
4.13 commision junction
That’s all from organic SEO.
I really need to improve my amazon earnings.
Well done Joe, you have done fantastic!
If I have half your success in 6 months I will be pleased!
@mac-geek: well done, are you targeting ebay specifically or are people just ending up there from your sites?
@James, cheers, I’m sure you will.
ebay’s where I started out with affiliate marketing, I have about 10 smallish sites that display auctions. One of those sites has started to get 250+ visitors a day which would surprise you if you saw the site, and knew the main keyword (5 word phrase) which gets around 18,000 exact searches according to Google.
Forgot to add – my site is #5 on Google for it’s main keywrd phrase.
Hey, well done! I’m leaving work in 2 weeksand will start it all again, as I am very much behind, not having time for anything lately.
Congratulations again!
Good luck for your return to affiliate marketing. How is that site going?
I’ve got just the week left at work then I will be going at it full time until I get my next job. Hopefully if I can increase my earnings from affiliate marketing enough there won’t be a next job!
NIce work.
Is the change to Amazon commission going to affect your earnings much ? (the £7 cap?).
Thanks.
No it won’t affect me, so far I’ve only managed to promote low priced item.
Well Done!
