My 2009 Year In Review!

Well 2009 is drawing to a close and i have alot to look back on this year. I had my best year in IM yet making over $10,000 and am pretty excited about that. I have learned alot this year and feel that 2010 is going to be much better for me.

My earnings for 2009 were as follows
  • $6015.53 from clickbank ( 334 sales so about a sale a day)
  • $2550 from local SEO work starting in July
  • $1500 from a website i sold
  • $400 from free lance article writing
So it was just a tad over $10,000. Considering I am 100% self taught and did this with out a list i am pretty happy. While it is true there are people who make this every month i did it working 40-50 hours a week at a normal job and raising two small kids!

All in all its not a bad year as i look back. But this year i hope to get into list building and maximize my income. I just started messing around with Aweber and if you would like to get on my list there is a small box on the right hand side of my blog.

Its a small little opt in box but I still have alot of learning and experimenting to do but for now the simple box will have to do! I am working on getting some free products to give away when you sign up.

Anyways if you sign up I won't spam you with endless product offers but hope to offer extra tips to  my list then I give on my blog! And i will only send you product offers that i truly believe are worth it.

Anyways I wish everyone a safe and happy new year and I am looking forward to an exciting 2010 and hope yo are as well!

Earnings With Clickbank Article Marketing

Since i have been reporting on my clickbank earnings i thought i would post some proof of what i am posting. Here is a screen shot i took at 8:50 CST on the 13th of February. As you can see i have good days and bad days for sales. But with consistent effort and work my earnigns and sales are starting to pick up more and more.

I would never go back to adsense again after getting my clickbank efforts to start producing a profit for me.

I do not miss that feeling of wondering about being Adsense compliant of if i am getting click bombed or anything else that would jeopardize my account.

All of my efforts were done with free methods like article marketing, craigslist, blog comments and other popular free methods.

While these earnings are not huge by clickbank standards they are a decent side income for me and i feel good about going from zero clickbank sales to a few hundred a month in 2 and a half months.

As of February 12th i had earned $250.45 in sales that puts me at $20.87 a day. Since i was making between $25 and $30 a day with adsense I am thrilled with those numbers!!

5 Ways To Improve Your Adsense Earnings

If webmasters want to monetize their websites, the great way to do it is through Adsense. There are lots of webmasters struggling hard to earn some good money a day through their sites. But then some of the “geniuses” of them are enjoying hundreds of dollars a day from Adsense ads on their websites. What makes these webmasters different from the other kind is that they are different and they think out of the box.

The ones who have been there and done it have quite some useful tips to help those who would want to venture into this field. Some of these tips have boosted quite a lot of earnings in the past and is continuously doing so.

Here are some 5 proven ways on how best to improve your Adsense earnings.

1. Concentrating on one format of Adsense ad. The one format that worked well for the majority is the Large Rectangle (336X280). This same format have the tendency to result in higher CTR, or the click-through rates. Why choose this format out of the many you can use? Basically because the ads will look like normal web links, and people, being used to clicking on them, click these types of links. They may or may not know they are clicking on your Adsense but as long as there are clicks, then it will all be for your advantage.

2. Create a custom palette for your ads. Choose a color that will go well with the background of your site. If your site has a white background, try to use white as the color of your ad border and background. The idea to patterning the colors is to make the Adsense look like it is part of the web pages. Again, This will result to more clicks from people visiting your site.

3. Remove the Adsense from the bottom pages of your site and put them at the top. Do not try to hide your Adsense. Put them in the place where people can see them quickly. You will be amazed how the difference between Adsense locations can make when you see your earnings.

4. Maintain links to relevant websites. If you think some sites are better off than the others, put your ads there and try to maintaining and managing them. If there is already lots of Adsense put into that certain site, put yours on top of all of them. That way visitor will see your ads first upon browsing into that site.

5. Try to automate the insertion of your Adsense code into the webpages using SSI (or server side included). Ask your web administrator if your server supports SSI or not. How do you do it? Just save your Adsense code in a text file, save it as “adsense text”, and upload it to the root directory of the web server. Then using SSI, call the code on other pages. This tip is a time saver especially for those who are using automatic page generators to generate pages on their website.

These are some of the tips that have worked well for some who want to generate hundreds and even thousands on their websites. It is important to know though that ads are displayed because it fits the interest of the people viewing them. So focusing on a specific topic should be your primary purpose because the displays will be especially targeted on a topic that persons will be viewing already.

Note also that there are many other Adsense sharing the same topic as you. It is best to think of making a good ad that will be somewhat different and unique than the ones already done. Every clickthrough that visitors make is a point for you so make every click count by making your Adsense something that people will definitely click on.

Tips given by those who have boosted their earnings are just guidelines they want to share with others. If they have somehow worked wonders to some, maybe it can work wonders for you too. Try them out into your ads and see the result it will bring.

If others have done it, there is nothing wrong trying it out for yourself.
