It’s no secret that blogging and niche websites are an excellent way to generate extra cash. We’ve decided to publish a monthly report listing the amounts we make from our online money making efforts. If this value ever tops $1,000 a month, we’ll probably take it underground. But for now, it’s ‘public information’ here on LiveWellSimply.com.
So, without further elaboration, here’s our Online Earnings Report from July 2012:
- Amazon Affiliate Links: $18.16
- Big G Affiliate Ads: $49.82
GRAND TOTAL: $67.98
As you can see, we aren’t into blogging to get rich. It’s a great hobby where we exercise our writing skills, hopefully help a few people out, and generate a little side cash along the way. We are also in the process of exploring additional revenue streams that include the eBay Partner Network, Commission Junction Affiliates, and the ClickBank referral program.
Since several of our regular readers are also bloggers, what recommendations can you make for monetizing a blog or website. And another question, is it in some way a ‘sell-out’ to the world of commerce and marketing to put ads on a blog that advocates ‘simple living’? Sound off in the comments below. We’d love to hear your thoughts.
