1 Man & His Blog

The fourth month that I have been running this blog and recording earnings has turned out as another low income month. I believe that this income is relative to the amount of time I have spent on this blog though. Yet again the number of posts being made has dropped off and I have only myself to blame.

Sorry about the late update, my laptop went belly-up and so I had to go out and get a new one. I seem to be getting things done five times quicker now.

Project Wonderful
Earned a measley $0.41 with Project Wonderful this month. I have started being more selective over which sites I accept to advertise on this site, PW appears to have a majorly web-comic audience at the moment but this is expanding all the time.

AdToll
Including just the page peel ads at the top right of every page and a single 125×125 banner, these have brought in $0.12 for April. I believe the novelty of page peel ads may slowly be wearing off, but they are unobtrusive and can potentially bring in money that was otherwise untapped.

Kontera
The content links have been clicked once this month and has generated $0.01.

Subvert & Profit
Explained last month, Subvert & Profit isn’t directly linked to this blog, but without having begun working on the blog, I would have never utilised S&P as a revenue source. A nice full $3 eanred this month.

None Earners:
Each of the following has brought in absolutly no revenue this month and so are being removed from the website. Vizu Power Polls, Scratchback, Show Your Ad Here and Deal Dot Com.

There will be a post in the coming week regarding the traffic statistics of the blog over the last four months.

Total Earnings for April 2008:
Including Subvert & Profit: $3.54
Without S&P: $0.54

The popularity of viral video is spreading like …a… err….a virus! YouTube was purchased for $1.65 billion by Google and has grown exponentially since. There have been many, many replica websites trying to cash in. Even Google attempted with http://video.google.com, yet none have gained the popularity that YouTube has.

When blogging, it is important to focus on a particular niche. In the case of this blog, Making Money from a Blog was the core aim and the posts are central to this theme. Other websites and blogs focus on their particular niche and it is a way of gaining a core audience that you hope will return over and over. YouTube has grown so large it expands a mass variety of niches, the only core niche it caters for is video.

How popular would you think that smaller niche variations of YouTube will become? Would you like to cash in on this idea and operate your own niche-Tube?

PseudoTube is a new concept, developed by David Minns who has been developing websites for over 16 years! David is offering a niche YouTube website to you for just $99 a year. You website will come with a domain name of your choosing, is fully hosted, backed up every single week, you can add your own videos or it can be set to auto-pilot and it is fully supported! All you need to do is attract visitors to your website and monetize them. Sounds too good to be true doesn’t it!!!

You need to make $99 a year to break even or $0.27 per day. If you earn just $0.10 per advert click then 3 a day would make you a profit. Every extra click means even more profit.

First of all, just wishing myself happy 22nd birthday for yesterday.  Had to get that out of the way . . .

I’ve done it again, left this blog without any posts for just short of two weeks.  At the end of last month I had decided to commit myself to posting a minimum of five times per week and it just isn’t happening.  I started the month off really well and then it has just been left without any updates or interaction.

In order to succeed within this blogging niche this blog needs to be updated several times a week with informative, relevant content.  I believe that this isn’t something I’m able to do very easily and have been struggling to do it recently.  I know for a fact the income figures for the blog are going to be severely low (again) even with the addition of several other income sources.

My other projects seem to be developing quite well, I mentioned UpZap in a previous post and it has got some attention from other bloggers thanks Carol.  As well as UpZap, I have been writing reviews at another blog of mine; Xapoo.  If you wish to have your product/service reviewed at Xapoo.com you can contact me using the email address on the About Page.  I have been in discussions with a webmaster/marketer of one of the most successful websites within a particular niche and a conference call is coming up this week at some point to discuss a potential new project to work on together (more about that some other time).

I urge you to continue returning to 1 Man & His Blog as I will continue posting about Blogging for Money and Increasing Blog Traffic.  If you have an idea for a post for me to make or would like to contribute a guest post please contact me at the following email address: darren AT 1manandhisblog DOT com (address modified to bring me less SPAM)

For years I have dreamed of working full time on the internet.  Developing websites that generate enough money for me to live comfortably is not an easy task by any stretch of the imagination.

I have decided that as well as documenting the progress of this blog, I will also document the progress of my other websites and ventures.

The reason for the lack of posts here is me spending time on one of my latest projects UpZap.  It is still heavily in development, would I would really appreciate you taking the time to submit your own websites to the system during the testing phases of this project.

The website itself is heavily in development, but progress is coming along nicely.  All websites submitted prior to the launch of UpZap will be given an extra boost of traffic from the system.  My plan is to create a place for both webmasters and general internet users to congregate and use the system for the betterment of their web browsing experience.

Let’s see how it goes, I will post more details closer to launch.
