How was your August?

[Mike]

How was everyones August? Best month for me, got to $850 :)

[chromate]

My best month yet! Everything performed consistently well throughout the month. Even AWS has been performing better than ever.

[incka]

Best month ever. Earned $5000 and only got a credit card bill for £1500.

[chromate]

What was the credit card bill for? Advertising?

[Jaffro]

breaking records for me once again. although if this month stays as it is then i'll be topping once again :)

[incka]

What was the credit card bill for? Advertising?


99% Adwords.
1% Metal Bin.

[MarkB]

Mine was down about 30% on July. But it's still not a large enough amount to worry about LOL

[Mike]

Yup, I earnt a lot from AWS as well. Really picked up for me in the last month or two.

[chromate]

Maybe people are in a more consumerist mood this time of year. I wonder if Chris has seen a rise in ecommerce sales too...

[incka]

My AWS site's got absolutly loads of traffic, but hardly any sales. I would earn far more from fastclick on them.

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum but many of you know me as Catalyst on lots of other affiliate forums I mod. I see a lot of familiar names here. Hey MarkB - how's it going???

Sounds like you guys had a great August. I know for some affiliates it was a bit of a slow month, but if you did well in Aug, then Sept. should be even better! Then Christmas is right around the corner.

Here's to even better sales in September!

Wasnt a fantastic month for me, but i am still getting used to my AWS system. Just started using a REST system instead of the soap code that got me started. Should have the new feed using AWS 4 up soon.

I made enough to cover the hosting, and put a bit of money towards advertising for October.. so i am on track for a new site :)

FastClick just approved my site and I started running their ads... we shall see if it has any impact.

[AndyH]

Again, the best month yet.

Made a few AWS sales which is good to see that my sites are finally showing up somewhere in the SERPs, even if not very highly yet.

In the last 6 days though I have already made what I did last month so that is very pleasing.

[Doug]

My best month yet... I made about $9.00.

[SWD]

bout 2,5k not my best month though... but great things happen! :) so Sep here i come :)

[Chris]

About the same as May. Not as good as July & August. Still made alot.

Ecommerce revenue was actually down compared to July. But I had a really good July for some reason.

[incka]

Chris, it's August we are talking about. Don't you mean 'June & July'?

[Chris]

erm ya, june and july

[michael_gersitz]

Better than last month.

[James]

Quite measly as I don't really attempt to make money too much, and have only one website online at the moment (Still remaking it. The new design will be able to be updated more, and should be substantially better overall)

I made 2 cents with one program, and 8 cents with the second program which I don't even show on my website any more which is kind of interesting. If it keeps tracking hits I never sent, I should have a check by about Q2 2007 :D

I'm curious as to what sort of figure you are making these days? Might not feel like sharing, that's fine. :)

[Chris]

Ecommerce revenue is 35-45k a month. That should double and triple in Nov and Dec if it follows the same trend as last year.

[ASP-Hosting.ca]

Congratulations Chris! 35-45K/month sounds really impressive.
So now your ecommerce sites are earning more than your content sites I guess?

[AndyH]

Oh right - I am guessing the 25-45k is from ecommerce and doesn't include Amazon, banners, affiliates?

Thanks for sharing.

[Chris]

Total revenue yes. Net profits they're about equal.

[Emancipator]

I just started using Amazon and a REST api and in the last 9 days its done $500.00 in sales. Amazon is making some bucks.. but im only getting my 6%.. lol.

[incka]

Ecommerce seems to be doing really well for you. As soon as I'm making $10k monthly profit I'm going to buy/rent a small warehouse with a one/two person office and start one... I've had several good ideas now, which are high value high profit products.

[ASP-Hosting.ca]

As soon as I'm making $10k monthly...

How far do you think you are from earning 10K/mo?

[incka]

Earnings about 1/2 way, but I said profit. That's about 3/10ths there...

[chromate]

Total revenue yes. Net profits they're about equal.

I remember a while back you said you would like to start another ecommerce store. Any closer towards that goal? Or are you concentrating on expanding your sword site?

[Chris]

More on expansion.

[Kyle]

August was great for me. I've been focusing all my energy on survive outdoors, and have acquired many more backlinks to specific sections. I will not share profit information, but traffic...

July unique visitors: 208125
August unique visitors: 207234

I think September will be even better with school back in session across the United States. A big plus for educational sites.

Chris, online-literature should go crazy I'd think!

[Chris]

Yes. September-May are always my best months. And infact since I just added cube ads my advertising revenue has gone up by 30% atleast.

[chromate]

Icebane, nice going! How many pageviews is that traffic generating on average?

[Kyle]

My pageviews are usually only 2x the uniques.

[pas]

Yes. September-May are always my best months. And infact since I just added cube ads my advertising revenue has gone up by 30% atleast.

Cube ads? What are they and who offers them?

[AndyH]

Total revenue yes. Net profits they're about equal.

I might have finally caught up to you this month, I doubt i'll hit double or triple over the holidays though. :cool:
