After Action Report | February ’09 earnings totals

admin — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 16:30:47 +0000

Well February is over, it was a short month and, for a while, income was trickling in at a pathetic rate. The end of the month picked up to levels I’ve never experienced before. In fact I made more in the last week of the month than I did in the previous two weeks. March looks like it might be an incredible month for me.

Anyway, here’s my earning totals for the month.

eHow $106.05
Amazon $16.85
Adsense $3.39
Kontera $1.15
Bukisa $2.90
LendingClub* $1.10
Total $131.44

Overall I am quite pleased with my earnings. As I mentioned in an earlier post work was very hectic this month and I had much less time to make passive income. A big surprise was no Linkshare sales, I had two sales last month and none this month. Oh well, the Internet can be fickle at times I guess.

I was surprised with my Amazon earnings as well, I started off strong but fizzled out in the middle of the month. I made a few sales in the last week and although I expected to have earnings in the $20-$30 range I did pull out nice numbers for only two months at it. The sale of 10 mp3s put me into the %6 range, I should look into promoting music, they cost less than a dollar and I might be able to hit the %6.5 earning tier if I can sell just two albums in addition to the higher ticket stuff.

One thing I’d like to mention is that I finally paid off that Nautilus credit card, yay!!. I’ve been carrying that %20 debt for over a year, this month I intend to obliterate 3 more credit card balances. Leaving me in a good position to have ALL my credit card debt paid off by June.

*In my earnings list I mentioned LendingClub. This is something I’ll make a post on soon, but for now it’s a peer-to-peer lending site where people lend other people money. I’m intrigued with the over %10 return on your money. I currently have $200 there, lent to 8 different people. If you head over to that site and want to try it out send me an email. There’s a referral link I could give you, I get nothing, you get $50 deposited into your account. If you have money available to invest take a look at it, if not, don’t bother as you won’t get your money back for three years. I’m adding $25 or so a month over there.
