Well April is over.  It began with such high hopes, but simply didn’t pan out.  Lots of things happened this month, most noteworthy of course was the eHow article purge.

Let’s go through the numbers..

eHow:  $156 (est)  I averaged a bit over $5 a day, not bad, but last month I was averaging over $7 a day.  The problem is views, last month I was getting about 800 views a day, this month about 400.  I need to figure out why this has happened.

Bukisa:  $1.44  No surprises here.  I had another signup, but alas, no articles produced.  Perhaps I should revisit this as one of the articles I published in February is actually making money…

Squidoo:  $2.56  Big surprise here, I did absolutely nothing at all on Squidoo this month yet I made three sales from one of my lenses.  It might payoff to pursue this further.

InfoBarrel/Xomba:  $48.88 This is great, I went from practically no adsense revenue to almost 50 bucks in one month.  The amazing thing is almost all the content I produced on both sites (90 articles) has not been promoted yet and they haven’t fully aged either.  I expect big things to happen next month.

Kontera:  $1.33  A slight increase mainly due to this blog moving up in traffic ranking.  I expect this to greatly increase next month.

Niche Blogs:  About $5 (adsense)  I finally converted two of my domains into niche blogs which are starting to make some revenue.  Like my IB/XB content, these haven’t been promoted yet either.

Amazon:  $50.10  About what I expected, this should increase next month as the number of links I have out there increases three fold on my IB/XB articles.

Affiliate programs:  $0  I haven’t started this yet but I will this weekend.  I have a feeling this will be a big part of my income in the coming months..

Unfortunately I have NOT made adsense payout this month, I’m about $20 short.  I’m going to go out on a limb here and guesstimate my May adsense income at $150 (maybe more).

Why??  Three reasons..

1. My articles will have aged a bit more which should result in more traffic (and clicks)
2. I will have finished promoting them on sites like Digg, Mixx and Folkd
3. Every one of my articles will have at LEAST three ‘blurbs pointing at it

For those of you who don’t think ‘blurbs do anything check the traffic on my Squidoo lens…

6 'blurbs, 15 hits. Not bad at all...

All in all not the best month but I did learn some things.  Like I always say..If you’re not earnin’ , you better be learnin’
