Monthly Target for May 2009 Achieved
My target for May, my fourth month in affiliate marketing, was to make £75 which is a £25 increase on last month.
The first week of May was quite quiet and I started to think it wouldn’t happen but then Google intervened and moved a couple of my pages to near the top of their relative SERPS. It wasn’t long after this that the sales started coming in. The most sales I made one day was 11 which is a new record for me.
Today I checked my Amazon Associates account as I do each morning and my total earnings for the month to date was £75.57 which came form 59 sales. One site made a whopping £40 which I am very happy about. If nine of my other sites start performing at the level I will be on £400 a month which would do me very nicely.
There are still 10 days left of the month so perhaps my total will grow. I have more sites to come online in the next couple of days but I am away for the last seven days of the month. It will be interesting to see how my sites fare without me.
What should I set my target to for next month and more importantly what should I spend my earnings on?
Congrats on the success! I was in a simiar situation this month, thinking I wouldn’t beat last months results, but, it turns out bank holiday tipped my results overs the scales and its looking positive, lets hope it keeps up for the remainder of the month and next month as well!
