Confessions of a Six Figure Professional Blogger

January 2009 Blogging Income Report

February 3, 2009 | Blogging, Making Money

OK, it’s that time again. Time to check in and see how I did last month as a problogger. So, let’s head over to Quickbooks and check it out.

In the month of January, I generated $21,129.30. I actually collected $15,297.41, with the difference being collected during the month of February (which is typical for a bulk of my advertising revenue).

The breakdown is as follows:

  • Advertising: $6,122.40
  • Affiliate Programs: $1,575.76
  • Membership Fees & Book/CD Sales: $13,398.98

Revenue from the membership program was much higher than usual this month due to the promotion I did at the beginning of the month (full story in my report The Future of Blogging Income).

Almost all revenue was generated by PCMech.com, however even this site is beginning to generate a little bit of revenue by way of affiliate commissions.

And as I state every month, this is GROSS income. Expenses come out of this, so this is not my “take home pay”.

I’m also not looking forward to my income taxes this year. :)

Stay tuned to David Risley dot com where I will continue to lay out how I do what I do and give my take on the world of problogging. I thank you all for being a reader!

  • Dan, I'm not tracking my stats specifically for this blog, but for everything. And most everything is coming from the other one right now. But, if I had to guess, this site probably made a few hundred bucks last month. Maybe $300-$400. Almost exclusively from a few plug-ins that I thought were worth your attention, plus Yaro's Become a Blogger program.
  • Hey David, how much exactly did THIS site generate? Your blog is the closest one I can associate with mine, since I think they've both been up and around for about as long as each other (less than 6 months?)
  • that is big amount you earn this month. Great job.

    Good Job. We have three websites that will be up this month and 4 iPhone Apps that will be done by the end of April. To generate this type of income from just one would be amazing.
  • Great income this month. Keep up the great work. Greg Ellison
