Many people ask me "How much money do I make from this blog?",well now I went ahead and planned to publish my income report once in a while.Its been more than a year I started this blog.There were many ups and downs(Google Panda Penalties as well) in my blogging career.I didn't make even a single penny in my first 6 months of blogging but I didn't loose hope and continued blogging with better focus and new strategies.Finally I have got some fruitful results,though not extraordinary but still I am making decent money by blogging Part Time.Yes ,I am not a full time blogger .I am still pursuing my Graduation(B.E 3rd Year) in Mechanical Engineering.Though I am from non technical field I gained good knowledge in the fields of Web Designing,SEO ,Computers,Tech related stuff.
Here is the Income Report:
1.Google Adsense:$115
Adsense earning is improving day by day.For my blogs traffic the above figure is very less infact.The low income generated from adsense is due to bad ads placement which generated low CTR thereby low adsense income.I decided not to put much focus on income till I get decent traffic and good rank.In the past few months the blogs traffic and rank increased tremendously.Especially after moving to a new domain name.Now I am focusing both on improving traffic and income from blog as well.
Google Adsense is not my primary source of income and will not be the primary source of income as I already had few bad experience with Adsense program in the past.So,I don't want to solely depend on Adsense.I am focusing more towards other ways which can generate more income than adsense does like Affiliate Marketing and Direct Advertising.- Not able to get an adsense account then you must check out how to get google adsense approval fast.
2.Direct Advertising (Including Sponsored Reviews):$235
So this is my primary source of income.I get good number of sponsored posts but I am accepting only those which I feel can deliver good service to users and at the same time adding value to my blog content as well.
3.Infolinks:$60
Infolinks is intext advertising network.In the initial stages of my blogging I used only infolinks.This is one of the best alternatives to adsense.If your blog has decent traffic then you can earn good money from infolinks.
Currently I reduced the number of infolinks text link units to 1 for testing purpose.I may completely avoid text link ads in near future.
4.Services(SEO,Web Designing etc): $70
I recently started paid services on my blog.I will be helping newbie bloggers and clients who want to improve their blog ranking or social media presence etc.

5. Amazon Affiliate: $3.26
I just signed up for Amazon Affiliate few days back.Luckily I already sold one product in a week which generated $3.26 commission.Though very less,I found that there is a good potential to make money from Amazon.
6.Adf.Ly : $5.67
I don't use this advertising network on this blog but I used this url shortening service in my initial stages of blogging for my youtube videos from which I am making around $5 per month.Currently I stopped using this service because of their low payout.
Total Revenue for November 2012:
115+235+60+70+3.26+5.67=488.93.
Of which I paid around $20 for my paid authors and other staff.Which leaves $468.93 into my pocket.
I don't know whether its a decent amount or not but if we convert into indian currency then 468.93*50=Rs 23446/- which is a pretty good income for a part time blogger and student(Though the dollar exchange ratio is slightly more than 50 ,here I am considering as 50).
So that's the income figure which I generate from this blog.Though not really impressive but its a good encouragement for me and as well as newbie bloggers especially students who work part time.
Future Goals:
- Improve traffic will be the first priority always.
- I will give high priority to affiliate marketing ,Direct Advertising.
- I will be trying few CPM Ad Networks.
- I am looking forward to hire some content writers with excellent writing skills and good knowledge on Tech aspects.If you want to be a paid author on this blog then contact me.
