500 days and still making money online
Hello newbies! My blog is officially 500 days old. It’s been 17 months since i launched this cheesy blog. (Blog was set up in July 07, but didn’t start working on it till late Oct 07) I haven’t been updating this blog recently. The reason is because i don’t need to. But, i plan on doing some restructuring on this little blog. I plan to do some organizing. Anywho, i wanted to share with you guys my income report. It doesn’t look like much, but this blog is a money maker. This make money online blog has paid for a lot of my tech toys. (I recently bought the Nintendo DSi and a macbook before that. When the next iphone comes out, bloggernoob.com will pay for that as well.) This blog has even paid the rent on several occasions. Word of advice for noobies who are trying to enter this niche. Don’t! It’s is much better to set up a blog that is more fun to update. You can make just as much or more money with a blog about cats. Set up a blog like you would start a new hobby. Write about things and post pictures of things that you enjoy doing even if you didn’t get paid to do it. As far as SEO and internet marketing, you can do the painstaking task of building anchored text links from blogs that you actually enjoy reading. Anyway, some of you might be interested in how much i made here at bloggernoob.com.
This income report shows the total amount bloggernoob.com has made in the last 500 days. If you want to see how much i made in the last five months, minus the total from my last income report with today’s total.
Affiliates- For me personally, i think that affiliate marketing is the most profitable. I didn’t know how to drive clicks with this blog in the beginning, but a continued to experiment. I even invested funds for link building and SEO for some of my web pages. I also average a lot in commission with my collection of other web sites. Niche specific deal web sites seem to do well. It also helps to study the market and push a new product before it become flooded by other “make money online” types.
Commission Junction- $12,077.50
LinkShare- $6,625.00
RevResponse- $650.00
Marketleverage- $570.00
PepperJamNetwork- $275.00
Paid Plugs- This market is crapping out. This type of income is only good for noobies. But, as your blog matures, you really need to jump on pay per click or affiliate commissions.
Reviewme- $1209.50
Buyblogreviews- $40.00
Linkworth- $35.00
Socialspark- $328.49
Loudlaunch- $2136.41
Bloggingads- $180.00
Blogitive- $50.00
Payperpost- $5512.37 + 223 referrals($15 each) $3345.00 = $8857.37
Smorty- $1251.96 + 66 referrals($5 each) $330 = $1581.96
Sponsoredreviews- $5780.47 + 147 blog referrals($10 each) $1470 + 10 advertiser referrals($25 each) $250 = $7500.47
Blogtoprofit- $45.00
Bloggerwave- $166.00
blogsvertise- $332.00
Money4blogs- $35.00
PPC/Signup Bonus/referrals/misc Starting to slowly learn the ins and outs of this. I got kicked out of google adsense back when i first started this blog. They allegedly said that i was involved in click fraud. Anyway, there are alternatives to google. Google is the best and biggest ad network, but if you want an alternative, go with the following. Or, if you got banned by google like me, go with these.
Adbrite- $341.95
Kontera- $375.00
Misc- $416.87
Project Wonderful- $49.45
- $75.00
BloggerNoob Ads- This type of income isn’t really consistent on this blog. Some months will be really strong, and others not so strong. I sold two ad spots the other day for $150. It’s a nice surprise when i get an email stating that X advertiser bought an ad on bloggernoob dot com. Woke up that morning and made a buck fifty without doing anything.
Private ads- 18 + 60 + 35 + 225 + 40 + 275 + 520 + 365 + 775 + 565 + 615 + 410 + 1725 = $5928.00
TOTAL- $49,880.95
I just missed the 50k mark on my 500th day of blogging. I want you guys to note the increase of my affiliate commissions. The time that i would have spent on this blog went to my affiliate commission efforts. It has paid off. I took advantage of the Christmas and Valentines day rush. Some of the income on this blogging income report is from my other web sites. I have a lot of my web sites listed on one account for most of my ad networks. I might have co mingled the income somewhere. I also made an additional $44,000 with my collection of websites. I try to reinvest a lot of my web income into other projects. I really do hope to make some serious cash online. I also pay a lot of money in domain renewals and web hosting. This is just a personal experiment. I have hundreds of web sites. But, you can make a pretty penny with like 10 web sites.
I want to finish off this blog post by saying that i ain’t that smart. Seriously, this isn’t a pitch. Even if your brain works slightly better then a really smart monkey’s brain, you will be able to make money online. Most of the big time affiliate marketers and google adsense earners aren’t that smart. They just work hard at building links for search engines. They then maximize the search engine traffic for clicks or sales. Let me tell you about the so called A list make money online bloggers. All of them are idiots. Also, it isn’t a get rich scheme. The make money fast mentality needs to be wiped from your brain. It will take a lot of time and energy to get things rolling.

I have learned a lot from BloggerNoob since I started my blogging!
April 11th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
Thanks for the update Noob,
I was wondering if you would be willing to share a little about which CJ products you are having good luck with. I would like to move into affiliate marketing but I have not had any sales as yet.
Thanks for any help you could give.
April 12th, 2009 at 2:37 am
it’s been almost 30 days since i started my blog curvebean.com . i gotta start thinking about affiliate. like agrande said, it will be great to know more about CJ. thanks noob.
April 12th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
I always become big fan of bloggernoob.com. You articles always inspiring me. Especially for this. Willing you to share a little about CJ. Thanks Noob
April 14th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
Makes me realize that I was in the wrong niche and that with my sites deletion I should go back to this one. Nice job noob! I think I’m about $100 of that along with the new $80 you’ll get from my renewing my hosting plan this month.
April 15th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Congratulations~~~~~~~
April 16th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
Congratulations BloggerNoob! I’ve been reading your blog heavily in hopes of achieving success as you have.
April 20th, 2009 at 10:14 am
Good to see some stats from a blog that is earning real money.Though I agree that this would not be too much, still you are at least earning a good amount.
On the point that the “make money online” niche is a bit saturated and that there is less scope of earning money, I would differ because I feel there is still scope for earning good money from such blogs. Blogs that used to be informative on making money online are nowadays turning stale and there is no worthy information. But there are readers who are hungry for good content and if you can provide them with good and genuine content, you might be able to succeed. So far as fun is concerned there is quite a bit of fun in this niche as well.
April 20th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
This time around are those amounts actually PAID to you?
If they are, that’s quite a hefty sum and congrats!

I have just got started blogging.I can see that it is quite possible to do well with it once you get established.Congrats on the results you have achieved.
May 10th, 2009 at 11:47 am
I’m really impressed by the Commission Junction. I think after 1 year I am still hovering above $60 with them. I just never figured out the whole “put up good banners and get ppl to click/buy stuff” thing with them. Did you use PPC? I better see if you’ve got a few tips on that somewhere here I might have missed
At any rate though I do think with some persistence you will see all the work payoff eventually.
May 11th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Wow man, i’m impressed of your success. Keeps it going. And within one year you have made such a big ammount of money…its, its incredible

May 20th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
That’s a great sum of money you made, good job! You’ve achieved pretty good success, I think!
May 21st, 2009 at 7:44 am
Fantastic man, Succes.

Thanks for the informative post.
Any advice on driving clicks and registration for affiliate marketing?
Cheers.

HOW TO MAKE THOUSANDS DOING NOTHING AT ALL 1. Keep in mind that everything stated below is 100% legal as stated by the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161). A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! : So I thought,’ Yeah, right, this must be a scam’, but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway it said that you have to send $1.00 to each of the following names on the list, stated at the end of this article using Paypal (our new form of transferring money safely and securely). You don?t have to be preferred or verified to transfer and receive money, so you lose no money through transfers. Now honestly, what is six dollars, especially out of a Paypal account. In exchange you will make thousands in the first few months. You then place your own name and email address (registered for Paypal transfers) in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands of newsgroups) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I sent out my measly 6.00 to the six people on the list. Well GUESS WHAT!!… Within 7 days, I started: getting $$$$$ in my account! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the CASH just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $15,060.00 and it’s still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $26,000.00 and it’s still coming in rapidly. It’s certainly worth $6.00 and 6 minutes to send it out. This program WORKS, all you have to do is try it, and waste some pocket change. You could find six dollars laying around the house. There is absolutely nothing you could lose. Just follow the 4 basic steps below to make thousands in just a few days, weeks, or months, it all depends on how many posts of this letter you put in message boards. Here?s how it works: When you post 200 messages all over the internet, it is estimated that at least 15 people will respond and send you a $1.00. ($15.00) Those 15 will Post 200 Posts each and 225 people send you $1.00 ($225.00) Those 225 people Post 200 Posts each and 3,375 people send you $1.00 ($3,375.00) Those 3,375 post 200 posts each and 759,375 people send you $1.00 ($759,375.00) At this point your name drops off the list, but so far you have received $813,615.00. Note: I’m not saying this is going to make everyone 800 grand, but lets say even 1 person out of 200 tries this program, you are still going to make 50,000 dollars in anywhere from 1 month to 6 months max!!!!! SO SAVE THIS MESSAGE NOW IF YOUR INTERESTED IN CHANGING YOUR LIFE!!! And go to the instructions below to get started immediately. You must send out 6 dollars to the people at the end of the letter before swapping your name in, or else those 6 people will not add you to there list, therefore you will not make any money. INSTRUCTIONS 1. Immediately send $1.00 to each of the six people on the list using Paypal, and in the comment section type “Please add me to your list”. Here are the emails that you transfer the money into: 2. Now Copy this letter. All you have to do is save this whole article along with instructions, etc in a word file/note pad on your computer. 3. After sending the money to the first 6 people on the list, you can remove the name next to the #1 on the list and move the rest of the names up one position (#2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2, etc?) Then place your name in the #6 position. Then save it. 4. When you have completed the instructions, take this letter and then go to (Google, Yahoo,…) and type in (Making Money Message board, Money Message Board, Money Forum, Free money Forum, or anything along those lines that are forums) and start posting your copy of this message at lease 200 times, to as many unique message boards as you can, or more. The more times you post this at a unique board, the more money you will make. The more copies you send the better the results. Keep a copy of this letter so you can use it a second time. Post it out again in six months, but Post it with the addresses you receive with each dollar. It will work better the second time. NOTE: This service is 100% legal - (Refer to title 18 section 1302 of the U.S. Postal & lottery laws) P.S. There is no possible way to cheat this program. If you do not follow the instructions exactly, you will not make any money, GUARANTEED. Paypal accounts to send 1 dollar to :
#1)wasim.marketing.guy@gmail.com
#2)john.john@yahoo.com
#3)Sen1973@yahoo.com
#4)anupam.mondal@gmail.com
#5)paul.goetz@hotmail.com
#6)ryan81@gmail.com
REMEMBER AGAIN- After you’ve mailed 1 dollar to each of these people, then you can add your paypal name to the 6th position, and move everyone up 1.

Congrats, I’ve been making money from affiliate marketing and other websites for a year now. It’s great money for things that I usually don’t want to waste money on. i.e, video games, wii points, all the good things.
August 24th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
I actually started marketing when I saw a YouTube video that was showing something about how you can get $1,000+ per month from blogging, web coding, I knew the coding, so I joined! I will never regret all the Free PSN Cards I got!
August 24th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
I’ve generated over $15,000 this year alone from Affiliate Marketing. I’m a freebie trader at a couple of forums. I’ve completed over 500+ trades, and I’ve generated $4,000K this month. Great stuff by literally wasting NO time.
September 22nd, 2009 at 4:38 pm
