So I feel like I haven’t done this in awhile, because I missed reporting July’s income because I was on vacation. Don’t worry, you didn’t miss much.
Google Adsense – This blog isn’t a big adsense earner but I’m proud to say that I’ve made more than the last couple of months. And that’s the way to get started right?
Earnings: $3.96
June’s Earnings: $0.72
Reviews – PayPerPost was the only review program that I’ve signed up for and I did one review this month. I’m not satisfied with the opportunities so I’m looking for other programs and privately sell reviews.
Earnings: $5
June’s Earnings: N/A
Kontera – In the middle of the month if you didn’t notice, I decided to try out Kontera contentlinks and see how they perform.
Earnings: $0.16
June’s Earnings: N/A
Donations – If you were with News Notion in July and earlier, you would have noticed that I decided to take off the Buy Me a Coffee link on the bottom of each post. I felt it might have been a bit “unprofessional”. Of course if you want to buy me a cup of coffee, you can contact me and I’ll tell you where to send the money. 
Earnings: N/A
June’s Earnings: $6.16
Expenses – I spent $10 on a title design which will be implemented soon after the slogan contest ends.
Expenses: $10
August 2007′s Total Earnings:
-$0.88 (*plays depressing music*)
So, everything that I earned canceled out with what I spent. I am happy that my adsense earnings were higher but this is not where I want to be at all! Not having a Pagerank is definitely affecting my earnings, damn you Google! Hurry up!
Expect some changes with my monetization methods this month. One reason my earnings are low is because this is money earned solely from News Notion. I’ve stopped selling signature links and forum posting for the time being. I know that next month will turn into better, positive earnings.
Thats cool you are already running a business and looking at expenses and income at 15.
Thanks. Welcome to News Notion, I hope you’ll come back!
Seriously The PR update shoudla been in JULY
Yeah it’s been the longest period with the update ever. Just my luck!
Grab a couple of quick 50 word reviews from PPP and you should be back in the black!
Kontera just doesn’t impress me right now. I did have it on a couple of sites but got rid of it on all but one. I’m inching toward the payout figure, but it’s going to take a while.
How is your traffic?
It’s good, on a small scale. I get roughly 20-50 (ish) uniques a day. I’m starting to pick up traffic for search engines now, which is helpful.
You alexa rank is pretty good for a site averaging up to 50uniques a day!
Everything starts small, don’t get discouraged. I’m sure next month you can triple your income.

Thanks a lot! Welcome and hope you’ll stick around at News Notion!
