Every month I share with my readers my earnings from my blogging endeavors. I do this to help other bloggers realize what a realistic earning potential is from blogging and I don’t claim to be successful, I just know that I earn more than some bloggers and less than others. My blogging comes from doing a constant output of thirty posts per month, including promotion and SEO optimization as best as I can and have learned to do so far. I have only been blogging since August 2008 so this is now my 17th month Blogging that I am working on.
Decemberearnings DragonBlogger.com Earnings for December 2009
In December of 2009 I just managed to earn over $300 and for several straight months in a row my highest income earner was the IZEA Service SocialSpark. I did a review of the Top Companies that Pay You To Blog and I encourage all of my readers looking to earn money to read this article and try some of them to see what works for you.

This month was a nice month for direct sponsors and sales, and this was the first month in a while where I was able to earn some money with my Poetry blog, which hadn’t earned me any income the past four months. Meanwhile, I almost earned $30 from AdSense total for the three blogs, and SponsoredTweets alone earned me $12.50 from my twitter account, which isn’t really blogging but I closely relate it.

I would have earned more income if PayU2Blog which is the primary earning service I use for JustinGermino.com would have had some assignments for the month, but I didn’t get a single assignment from the company in the month of December. This cut my usual $50-$60 in blog income from PayU2Blog out of my report earnings, and is the first month in a year that I didn’t receive a single assignment from them. I assume the company had a slow advertising month and it wasn’t specifically my blog.

Sponzai has brought in some income this month by me hosting some guest posts for companies and other bloggers, and I enjoy using the service. It takes very little effort just to cut and paste someones article and publish it and get paid for it.

How did my fellow bloggers do? Did you find December a tough month to find advertisers with the holidays as I have?
