I was trying to decide whether or not to continue on with the monthly Income Report and decided to give it another few months after taking some time off. If you like this monthly post, let me know that you do and why you like it and I’ll consider making it a longer term effort.
Here’s a breakdown from the blog’s earnings for June 2009:
Banners – $260
Adsense – $80.50
Paid Reviews – $175
Total: $515.50
Top Commenters
- Seo83

- Racquet reviews
Just a reminder, if you want a free link to your site on a permanent page on blueverse.com, as well as some much deserved fame and notoriety…post some comments over the course of the month and get listed here. It really doesn’t take all that much.
Thoughts from last month
Last month was one of the best months we’ve had at blueverse.com. Income was up to a high in 2009 so far. Probably the most surprising thing was the Adsense earnings. The highest I’ve seen on any of my blogs in quite a while. Makes me wonder if Google is trying to increase earnings for people displaying Adsense to keep them in the game.
What I’m working on this month
For this month, the biggest thing I’m targeting is more regular posting. I’ve been slacking pretty bad due to other projects I’ve been working on. Fortunately those are giving me some great material for the blog. Posting regularly is one of the biggest things that separates wanna be bloggers from the big boys. Setting a post schedule and sticking to it can be a tough task to tackle.
This month I’m going to try and at least set a good example. My goal is to post between 3 and 4 times a week. If you have something you’d like me to post on, please feel free to fill out the contact form or leave a comment.

I think these kinds of posts are always interesting. Have you considered posting any other metrics or are you worried about Adsense ToS?
July 7th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Yes I think these income reports are a great idea. They open up newbies eyes to the kind of money certain blogs make. It may also give ideas of how they can further monetize their own blog or website. I agree with your strategy about trying to post at least 3 or 4 times a week. That is likely the #1 thing you can do. Also try to regularly build backlinks to your blog.
July 7th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Congratulations. By any yardstick, the income is creditable. I am also glad that you have decided to post more often. That always helps.
July 7th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
Nice income, I think you should keep doing these posts. Readers seem to love them because it motivates them.
July 7th, 2009 at 7:03 pm
Congrats on the income for the past month. Good idea on letting newcomers know how important and profitable blogs can be. There are some people who think they are all a waist of time. nice post. hope to read a new one soon!!

I don’t get very well the concept here, so I believe people may disagree with it.

I like that you post your monthly income. It is an inspiration to the millions of us who aren't making exuberant amount of money by blogging. Its keeping it real for what the hard work really accounts for.
July 8th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
I think you should continue to do the income reports it is great to be able to see exactly how and where your busness is growing and allows other people to know that it is possible.
July 8th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
We are on day eight of July! If you have to make good on your determination to post more, you must start!

I have always liked the income reports on blogs, I like reading them, it's good to see how much money the website is actually making. There are tons of websites that I wish I had access to see how much traffic/money they were making.
From my personal experience… I was going to do it on my own personal blog of mine, but I've since decided not do it, and I've shut down the website completely, mainly due to privacy issues. I know alot of the top bloggers do it, and give their full income report, but for me I decided not to, because of my privacy. I guess I fear a potential "stalker" etc in real life. Jealous people you know?

Nice one mate! $500+ a month isn't bad for a blog, i wish i could make that much.
I like the way you do this monthly post and i hope you don't get rid of it! It keeps up my spirits when i read your monthly income post. It makes me want to achieve the same and shows that it can be done!

I love seeing these income reports as it keeps me motivated! And gives me something feasible to work towards.

Very interesting your monthly report… hope you will keep posting it. A general though: your blog has an alexa rank of 72,000 (very high), but that makes me wonder if we can relate how much a blog earn (or can earn) to the number of visitors. I hear of sites/blogs with far less visitors making far more (or perhaps they lie?) So I wonder if we can infer any kind of metric…

First of all let me congratulate you on your earnings for the past month. Actually, i like reading reprts like that as they give you a good insight about how a successful blogger like you manages his account and the earning one could expect once his blog gets popularity….
July 25th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
Solid total earnings, my site earned similar earnings last month yet all off Adsense. I am trying to start paid reviews though.

[...] Blueverse.com dümpelt etwas vor sich hin. Das ist ein gutes Beispiel in meinen Augen dafür, wie ein Blogger nicht das Durchhaltevermögen hat. [...]

Looks like you had pretty good earnings… just look forward to your data for july 09… why don't you publish some traffic stats too, as that would give an idea of the value per blog reader… just an idea…
August 6th, 2009 at 3:06 am

I noticed that you made more with your paid reviews than you did with your adsense. Was this just a down month? Or is this about what your average? One of the things I try to get my mind around is how many sites I should have and maintain in order to establish a solid online income. Any recommendations?
March 17th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
Paid reviews always pay better than anything else. How many blogs you need for a solid monthly income is a tough one. Depends on how much you need and how consistently the blogs produce. I like diversification across a bunch of different sites and different styles of income. I shoot for 5 to 6 solid sources from blogs, affiliate marketing, product sales, residual revenue, etc.
