My First $100 Day in Affiliate Earnings

Finally!!! If you have been reading my posts for any time at all, you are familiar with how my internet marketing journey started, and how long it took for me to finally figure it all out.  Well, maybe not all of it, but enough that I am now consistently earning money online, and it is increasing just about every day.

Back in March, I started a challenge for myself – I called it the 30 Site Challenge.  If you have not read that post, you can read it here in a new window.

I have been posting my monthly earnings since February, 2011.  In that month I made a whopping $159.69 in affiliate earnings.  Nothing to write home about, but I was on to something and I finally saw light at the end of the tunnel.  In March, I earned $225.11, which was discouraging because at that rate, I would be stuck in my full time job forever!  Fortunately, early March is when I began my challenge.

It started slow, but then I found my niche in mid-April.  This is when things began to turn around.  I cranked out mini-sites that were strictly meant for Adsense and a couple of CPA offers that I decided to try out.

By then end of June (there is one more day of the month as of the time of this writing), I have launched 34 websites with 1 more domain name waiting that I am determined to launch by the end of tomorrow.

So looking back at the $225.11 that I earned in March, let’s take a look at how things were in April – I earned $344.43 (this does not include a website that I flipped, as I am not planning to consider that as part of my monthly earnings).

In May, my earnings tripled – I earned $885.81 in that month alone, and it made me more eager than ever to continue creating my little mini-sites.

Yesterday, June 29, 2011, my total daily earnings exceeded $100!

I used to say that I would never reach that amount in one day – hell, I could barely make that in a month prior to March, 2011.  Well, I did it!  My total earnings for this one day were $109.81, with $98.81 of that coming directly from Google Adsense!

I am not going to give you my earnings for June yet, as I will put that in my June earnings post after the end of the month, but I will tell you that you are not going to believe how I have succeeded with my 30 site challenge.

I do want to say that a large part of my success was from a premium Wordpress theme that I broke down and bought because of the reviews.  Well, those reviews that I read did not do it any justice!  My CTR for every site is phenomenal compared to what I was doing before.  That theme is called The CTR Theme. That link is an affiliate link, and if you decide to try it out, I just want you to know that I will make a commission from the sale.  After all, this is internet marketing, however, you will learn that I am not the type of person who will promote everything just to make a buck.  I only promote products to my readers that I have tried, and that I have had success with.

In summary, I want to tell you to either begin building websites, or continue building sites around the ones that are earning you money.  Once you find a niche that converts, keep at it.  You can do it.

May 2011 Niche Site Earnings

May 2011 Earnings

Have you ever heard anyone say that you may as well give up on affiliate marketing because you will never succeed!  Of course you have – every affiliate who has ever launched a product tells you that you will not succeed unless you buy their product, which of course, is nothing but false hope.

Well, I am living proof that this is just not true.  If you have followed my blog at all, you will know that I am not a person who is out to sell you some worthless piece of garbage just to make my bank account grow.  In fact, I don’t even have a product, and frankly, I am perfectly fine with that at the moment.

My focus is strictly creating mini sites, and cashing in.  It has been a long road for me because at first I trusted those sponges who only wanted my money, and boy did they get a lot of it — at first.  Not anymore!  I finally have a system, and it works perfectly every single time.

What is it?  Informational niche websites.  That’s right – I said informational, meaning that I am not offering them a product to purchase, I am offering them information surrounded by Adsense ads, which is allowing my earnings to increase by a substantial amount every month.

Back in early March 2011, I decided to challenge myself with a 30 site challenge.  If you have not read that post, you can read it here (will open in new window).

My goal was 30 sites by the end of September 2011.  Well, I am way ahead of my goal, with only 5 sites left to launch, and it’s only June 2, 2011.  That’s right, I have launched 25 sites since March 7, 2011.  By site number 8, I had found my golden niche!  I just kept cranking out the sites, and you will be astounded by my May earnings compared to what I made in April.

The secret to my success?  An Adsense Wordpress theme called CTR Theme.  Yes, it is a premium theme, so there is a cost, but I will tell you that my CTR for the entire month of May combined was 13.56%.  That is a phenomenal CTR considering that April’s CTR was 3.88% because I had not begun launching sites with this theme until the last week of April!

I do not normally go on about a paid product as you will see in my affiliate product reviews, but this one will not let you down.

Enough about the theme, let’s get to my May 2011 earnings:

Amazon – $36.93

Adsense – $714.83 (increase of $500.05 from May!)

CPA Network (formerly referred to as Other Affiliate Programs) – $100.75

CJ – $33.30

Total May 2011 Affiliate Earnings $885.81! Increase from May of $541.48!

I recommend once again that if you are not building sites, you need to start right now.  I have brand new sites that are only a month or less old that made the following in Adsense earnings in just the month of May (this is not all of my sites, but it gives you an idea of what to expect):

$45.88

$44.40

$47.89

$113.62

$21.73

$84.88

Keep in mind guys these sites are all brand new. Every single one was launched in April or May!  The best part?  I only spent at maximum 1 hour on each site – some even less!

Don’t forget to check out the CTR Theme, I would not steer you wrong (and yes, it is an affiliate link).
