Dragon Blogger Blog Earnings: September 2009
Now I never thought I would be the type of person who would put a snapshot of my PayPal account on my blog like other bloggers do, but I am doing it now:Â (My PayPal account only collects blog earnings and I drain it every month to re-purpose the money to bills, debt or whatnot)
In just 13 months of blogging I have managed to meet my goal of reaching $500 dollars earnings in a single month, I earned a total of $502.43 this month and $378.25 of it was from my flagship blog DragonBlogger.com
By far SocialSpark has been my best earning program for two months in a row, I am honored to have qualified for some huge paying opportunities. The best thing is that I earned $378.25 on DragonBlogger.com by doing only 5 paid blog posts. While my personal blog which earned $75 dollars from PayU2Blog I had to write 13 blog posts to make that income. So when it comes to saving time I made a far higher dollar per hour ratio from DragonBlogger.com.
One thing to note, this was not the first month a company has hired me for a direct paid post, but it was the highest I have earned from such a direct contact at $100, and I also wrote a paid articles for another blog that earned me $10. In addition to my income earnings from paid blogging assignments, my AdSense earned $37.15 this month which is 30% higher than my $22 average I had been running the last few months. I attribute this mostly to getting a nearly 40% increase in blog traffic in the past two weeks due to the NBC Heroes reviews that I do.
My friends, I only blog about 20 hours per week and do it part time as a hobby, I ignore 75% of the posts I qualify for on PayPerPost, SocialSpark and other sites, I don’t do any $5 posts on anything except my Personal Blog anymore. If I wanted to, I could have easily done another 10 posts for another $50 but I have to be more efficient with my time. AssociatedContent and Helium (not listed) both earned me about $2 and $3 respectively in pageview performance.
I don’t expect to keep this string of earnings up, my monthly averages are around $200 – $250, but having this month break $500 and last month break $400 has me figuring I must be doing something right if I am starting to get opps and advertisers willing to compensate me these sums. I am just an average IT guy who picked up blogging as a hobby, and I am positive that if I was able to earn this income then anyone with a passion for blogging has that potential. All it takes is drive and some motivation and lots and lots of time writing quality content and then promoting it.
