July 2010 internet marketing earnings update.

by dangerbrown on August 10, 2010

In July:
Gross profit $28,099.62
Spent              $16,514.51USD
Net profit      $11,585.11
It was a good month. My best so far. The extra spending represents a fair amount of testing where I expected some losses. So the ROI isn’t as good as I’d like. I’m expecting to reap some rewards in August. I think I’ll have about $15K net with a better ROI. So far in August, things are looking pretty strong. I went on vacation for a whopping 5 days. From the 4th to the 8th I was in the Colorado mountains camping with friends and family at a spiritual retreat. There wasn’t even cell phone access, so my campaigns ran on auto pilot for better or worse.I figured the worst that would happen is a server would fail and I’d only break even or something. While gone for 5 days…..
I spent: $1952.43
Gross profit: $4541.17
Net profit: $2588.74

So, I made over $500 per day while I was completely relaxing. I think I spent about $1000 on camping crap and $400 on junk my wife bought and food. It’s kinda hard to figure that I can play and get ahead at the same time. But I really focus on building campaigns that will have staying power for just this reason. It’s nice to be reaping what I’ve sown.

Nice work Danger. You still using Yahoo search primarily to drive traffic?

Thanks Logan! Yes, sadly. I should have mentioned that. I’m not looking forward to the transition to MSN Adcenter. It’ll be a temporary setback for me. Right now though, I pretty much have things dialed in and am still scaling up with Yahoo. Sticking with what works while I can.

Thanks Jon!! Soon I’ll be nipping at your heals. When I grow up, I want to be just like you! Have a good one.

You’re far too modest Patrick. You’re a badass and we all know it.
