This month and last month was pretty crazy for me, experiencing a whole bunch of technical and site difficulties. I can’t say I’ve solved this recent problem 100% yet, but so far so good! I’ll give it a week before I can call the endeavor a success. Anyways, interested to see how much money I made last month? Me too.

Earnings: $6.21
Last Month: $8.47
Private Ad Sales – Have been having trouble selling spots recently, but sold one.
Earnings: $9.31
Last Month: $35.44
Text Link Ads – Still using it as long as advertisers continue to renew.

Last Month: $10.62
Services - My commenting services continued last month generating decent additional income.
Earnings: $30.17
Last Month: $39.58
Reviews – One review was purchased last month but I didn’t publish the review until this month due to the computer problems I was having, so it won’t count for this month.

Down a bit from last month but I’m even pleased with out I did. This month and last month are going to be low, no surprise, because of the string of bad luck I’ve been having with my computer. I’m getting back into routine now as I think I’ve fixed the issue (so far so good anyways) all yesterday and thanks to Bush Mackel for helping me out once again!
Hey there, just keep plugging away. I am sure you will get there. Plus you have a few more years to work out a great strategy before you have to earn a full time income.
I am managing to barely keep myself floating as a full time blogger right now but am have to seriously concentrate on my new projects.
I have a new animal blog http://www.blogaboutanimals.com if you are interested…
Good luck… and don’t worry your stats will bounce back.
It isn’t just your computer. The months of March and April are just slow months for everything. With the exception of Easter there are no major holidays, and with tax day, people generally don;t want to spend more.
its the same story every year. coz its the time when a new financial year starts. and it is also the time when google starts updating the page ranks. so its kinda double whammy.
Don’t worry as Joe and Irene already said it’s just that time of year. It affects everyone from bloggers to multi-billion businesses… people just don’t want to spend money. that coupled with your computer issues actually make your earnings look decent all things considered.
@ Forest – Original blog name!
Looks interesting, good luck with it!
@ James, Joe and Irene – Thanks a lot guys for the support!
The main thing is you;re making money. If it wasn’t for freelancing, I’d be making next to nothing online.
You are making money..that is more than what i can say for many out there. keep up the good work!
Not so bad but I think you could do a lot better. Google will get you more visitors as site grows older, just keep up with the posts.
How do you make money commenting? I have never heard of that one.
@ Work – Commenting on related niche blogs is a great way to get quality traffic (and even some backlinks). A lot of people don’t have the time to do this, so some pay others to do it for them.
Same story here, Jan – April are slow, and then picks back up mid summer.
I’d go out and buy some beer with that money. If I could make an extra $50 a month doing something that I enjoy doing I would consider that a success.
