DragonBlogger October 2009 Earnings

Posted by: dragonblogger  //  Category: blogging

Every month I share with my readers what I earn from blogging and my sources of income, I do this to both inspire other bloggers and show them what companies you can earn money from, as well as to educate to the real difficulty and time consuming nature blogging is and that when you start out you will make far below minimum wage while blogging for profit.

For October 2009 my total blog related earnings were $284.98, with again the largest portion coming from SocialSpark which is one of the best blogging programs on the web.

I did make $14 from SponsoredTweets and $2.31 from AssociatedContent which isn’t technically related to blogging but is related to advertising in online writing and social media.  This month I had an advertiser purchase an ad slot and a post directly from me which helped my earnings for the month.  Overall October 2009 was just over 1/2 my earnings for September 2009 which shows you how unreliable and unpredictable earning through blogging can be.  My AdSense meanwhile was over $30 again for the 2nd month which is showing that each month my AdSense seems to grow from the previous month.

So SocialSpark, PayU2Blog and SponsoredReviews were my best online programs this month. Let me know how my fellow bloggers did for October 2009 and what programs worked best for you.

    Great income this month, Justin.

    Unfortunately for me, living outside the U.S., SocialSpark has slowed down on opps since the first time it was introduced by Izea. :( So eventually, Pu2B won out for me.. and is my biggest earner every month. This coming payout i expect $90. so it’s not too bad.

    Oh have you tried bloggingads.com? They only accept min PR2 and only offer max 3 opps of $5 each month.

    So that’s a guarantee of $15 there. LOL! But if you’ve many blogs with PR2 and above, you can give it a try (max 10 opps per month across all ur submitted and approved blogs)..

    You’re not with blogsvertise.com anymore?

    That is why I try not to be discouraged when I have a 40% drop in income this month from last month, I know many bloggers make peanuts, yet others make tremendous earnings.

    I have 2 blogs under PU2B. The assignments are pretty consistent too so I’m not complaining at all. I noticed that if I do the assignments immediately after receiving them on Mondays and Fridays, I get more in between.. :) Anyways, the best of luck this month! :)

    I love Social Spark too because it pays you to write something and at the same time gives you a post when you don’t know what to write about :D

    That is great that you put yourself out there and show your income, lot of people think blogging is an easy way to make money but it really takes time and a lot of hard work, you are well on way, keep up the good work.

  9. Tycoon Blogger from promote your blog Says:

    For some reason i do not find good opps at social spark.. Sponsored Reviews was my best last month, I made over $100 with them. I have not tried payu2blog yet but I guess I should. I just started with sponsoredtweets and make $12 in the first week so far :-)

    i may take a look at this socialspark program once again. all my earnings for October are from adsense. For the first time, I broke the $100 mark on a single month. I may have earned from Chitika too. But the amount is too small for now.
