Money I hope to make bloggingCan you believe this blog has been around for 4 months already? It really doesn’t seem like it’s been that long. The calender doesn’t lie though, and neither does my countdown clock. I have exactly 245 days left to accomplish my goal of earning a full time income from this blog. Last month I made only $75.00 which wasn’t very impressive for a make money online blog, but this month I kicked it into high gear. I introduced several different advertising options, had a good month for affiliate referrals, and even participated in a paid study. So, did this month’s income reflect all that extra work?

You better believe it.

This month’s income came in at a greatly improved $595.00. While that is still only about 10% of the way towards my monthly goal, it also represents nearly an 800% increase over last month’s total! To put that into a bit of perspective if I were somehow able to maintain that rate of growth, I’d be 4/5ths of the way to my goal by the end of next month. Now obviously I’m not saying I’ll be able to even come close to that for November, it just illustrates just how big of a step I took in October.

So, where did it all come from? The breakdown looks like this:

  • Affiliate sales - $200.00
  • Goodmind Study - $150.00
  • Private Advertising - $245.00

Obviously I’m not going to be able to do the Goodmind Study again each month so I’m going to have to either generate more affiliate sales, recruit more private advertisers, or develop even more ways to make money blogging just to keep up with October’s earnings. However, I’ve never been one to back down from a good challenge so for this month my goal is going to be $1000 or a “modest” 67% increase over October. Wish me luck!
