Money Making Weekly Report - Week 47
| I'm now at week 47 of my Money Making Mission. The aim being to try and earn money, using only free blogs and without any capital outlay. Below are programs I am currently promoting - in alphabetical order, with a few comments. As I said last week I have now removed Adbrite, Autograph Dealer and IcePosters from the list as I wasn't having any success with them. I'd like to find replacements for these - especially for use on my Celebrity Blogs. AdSense $562.52 Not a lot to add. They have notified me that $253.09 has been sent to my bank account, so should be with me next week. A good, faithful advertising program - though I have been getting some obscure ads from them for my celebrity blogs. Amazon UK £4.34 ($8.64) No success here but, there again, I haven't been pro-active with promotion. As with most things you only get out what you put in. AuctionAds $29.73 It ticks along, nothing too exciting. My click rate is low at just 0.42%. Convergence Inc $156.60 (over 18's only) Adult only products. They provide a free website - providing you can find a way to promote it. Not suitable, for example, on this blog. DIY Dating £72.99 ($145.25) DIY offer a free dating website with choice of designs and content plus use of their massive database. Has possibilities. FriendFinderGroup $693.96 My top earner. No problems, commission paid regularly (when over $50). Over 20 websites to promote ranging from Christian and Jewish friendship to Adults and Bondage! Caters for most interests. Helium $13.27 I keep saying I like this site but you have to be prepared to write quite a few articles to earn anything worthwhile. myLot $59.55 Just haven't been to the website. When I started blogging I found it very useful for making contacts and getting referrals. Not a big earner as it's too time consuming to make money. This is going well at the moment. I also have $99 of sponsored posts waiting to be approved. Payments made on time (once the posts have been on the blog for 30 days). Sexy Ads $322.73 (over 18's only) A well run, efficient affiliate program - if suitable for your blog! You Gov £50.00 ($100.00) Genuine survey company - want more panel members in UK, USA and the Middle East. Miscellaneous $463.68 From such things as links, sponsored blogs, adverts etc. Total $3256.95 I've also made money from Commission Junction, Cashlinkr, Daytipper, but no longer promote these. That's all for this week, thanks for reading this post. Good luck, Mike. Blogging Good Blogs. Books on blogging, find out what makes others successful.

Great progress Mike. Have you received that all important YouGov cheque yet?
Mike, you're creeping up to 52 weeks. I suggest when that happens, you move to a new mission:
invest your earnings from the first year back into your blogging endeavors, to see whether this multiplies the effect.
For example, buy your own domain name, own hosting, and move to a wordpress blog. That will set you back a hundred or so, but you've made that, so it's merely re-investment.
tom: No cheque received, but it's on it's way. I was disappointed though that this might take a month to arrive. Wonder why so long?
dave: That makes sense and it's obviously what you have to do with a normal business situation. Not sure if I'll do it though, but you nver know!
Thanks for the reponses.
Mike.
