In an effort to be completely transparent about blogging income to show other bloggers what realistic numbers they can expect from blogging, I always do a post showing what my blogs earn each month.  August 2009 was my most successful and profitable month yet as a blogger.  Between my three blogs, only two of them earned anything other than some Adsense revenue, but I earned $435 dollars this month which was easily twice as much as three to six months ago.  Dragonblogger.com my flagship blog is still my top earner at more than $335 dollars earned from it, most from only 3 SocialSpark opps that netted me $290 dollars from just doing 3 paid opps.  Meanwhile, my personal blog continues to average between $50 and $70 per month from PayU2Blog which is still worth doing.  All in all my goal was to try and earn $500 per month from my blogs by December 2009, and I am getting close to achieving that goal, though I don’t think I can sustain this high of earnings each and every month, this was clearly a successful month blogging.

I also earned $23.33 in AdSense for the month and my new AdSense ads and placements have netted me more clicks this month since I have done some tweaking, hopefully this will continue to increase as well.

According to Google Analytics I came out with:

  • 10,041 unique visits / average of 323.9 unique visits per day
  • 12,555 Page Views
  • 59% of my visits from Google Search (Organic)

All in all though, remember that I put in about 20 hours per week into my blogging and online earnings, so if you divide $435.51 / 80 hours, I have netted about $5.44 per hour blogging this month, which is still below minimum wage.
