I haven’t really expanded campaigns, but have improved the ones I have.

June 2009

Money spent:

Adwords                                             $4,947.28

Yahoo Search Marking                       $448.08

MSN Adcenter                                        $84.74

Ad buy                                                   $320.00

Total money spent $5800.10

Money earned:

Hydra                                                    $8,196.00

MarketHealth                                           $5.00 (second tier)

Adsense                                                  $360.60

Gross money earned                               $8561.60

Net money earned                             $2761.50

So, it’s OK, but I’m not satisfied with my efforts or my results. At least I won’t have to get a job.

After attending Affiliate Convention this month I’m pretty pumped up and want to take my wife to Affiliate Summit East in NYC in August 2009. It’s gonna take an earnings bump to justify the expense of a big trip like that but I don’t want to miss it. I figure if I can at least double this month’s net earnings I’ll go to New York.

And what’s the deal with people in forums posting gross earnings and talking about their best day ever. Gross means nothing. It’s a silly ego number. Net means everything.

This month (July 2009)  I’ll be pushing into new areas and building out new campaigns. Things will certainly be interesting. I also am going to be coming more into compliance with my landing pages. So that might cost me some profit. I hope not.

Feel free to comment. I could use the encouragement.

   You’re doing great, Dan! Considering you’re tweaking every day, and you know why there are down days and you can fix them, you’ll get there very soon. I hope you can make it to NY in August – I look forward to meeting you

   I’ve been following this, and these are GREAT results on your affiliate links. I like the full disclosure concept of your blog, it’s appealing.

   Thanks for sharing this info.

   Great stuff man, this is the first time I’ve come across your site but you’re in my reader now. Love the straightforward posts and it’s refreshing to see someone actually walk people through the steps. You’re right about people posting gross. Who cares that someone grossed $x,xxx in a day (when they really only profited $X).

   Keep it up!

   If it makes you feel better, I’m on day 1 and $50 in the hole – I’m taking the leap, reading as much as possible. Its time to learn, implement, analyze, and optimize.

   Hey,

   Question for you – Hydra seems to be doing much better compared to MarketHealth. Is it because you’re not pushing MarketHealth as much? Or are their offers not as good as Hydra? Or is it that you just recently joined MarketHealth?
