October Earnings Roundup
Last month I wrote about how important it is to learn from others who are already successful. Well, this month I decided to make that a little easier for you to do. Here is a roundup of all the posts I’ve found so far where bloggers listed their earnings for October. Click the dollar figure to see their details.
- Direct Ad Sales: 50%
- Affiliate: 30%
- Other: 20%
- Direct Ad Sales: 50.7%
- Affiliate: 21.9%
- ReviewMe: 12.8%
- Text Link Ads: 9.8%
- Kontera: 4.2%
- Other: 0.6%
- AdSense: 32.3%
- Direct Ad Sales: 30.9%
- Text Link Ads: 12.4%
- Intellitxt: 11.7%
- Other: 12.7%
- AdSense: 43.3%
- Subscriptions/Donations: 37.4%
- Kontera: 15.1%
- Affiliate: 4.2%
As you can tell, it’s still a pretty short list. (Still waiting on Yaro’s report which will really round it out pretty nicely.) If you know of anyone else who made more than $2,000 from their blog or website last month and has published their earnings breakdown, please send it to me so I can add them to this list.
This will probably be on the homepage for awhile, too, as I’m right in the middle of a big project that won’t leave me much time for blogging. I’ll be back as soon as I can.
(And for those of you who read this far, here’s a bonus post where Caroline breaks down exactly how she made $0.00 last month. That’s right — $0.00. Read her post for the details.)

Wow some great numbers there! But it is Caroline not Catherine isn’t it?

Everton Blair, over at Connected Internet also posts monthly roundups of his blog earnings. He made more than $15,000 this month.

In a way, I find analysing stats over at Connected Internet more useful than analysing stats from John Chow or Shoemoney, as it shows what you can do to make money from a blog that is slightly outside the overheated ‘making money online’ niche.

Could I convince you that it was an intentional link bait attempt? Nah, I didn’t think so.
It’s fixed now :blush:
(And, Thomas, thanks for being the first to let me know!)
