I agree with the majority – please keep sharing these stats. It helps motivate others and definitely demonstrates that “it can be done” and build your credibility. I think it’s awesome! I love your site – and it is one of the very few i have ever found that is REAL and honest.

I appreciate your honesty on how you make your money David, it helps us new bloggers out immensely and gives us hope. As a new blogger I am busting my hump (and loving it mind you) to make this work. You proof that it can! So many other pro’s out here are tight lipped and afraid they will give away the golden egg, hahaha!

Seeing the numbers definitely helps with credibility, and with answering my question of “well, what CAN be done? what is ACTUALLY being done out there?” (in this case, by you)

I’d say you don’t need to give *exact* numbers to accomplish those purposes. Saying it was “over $8K” of something or “$50K+” is enough to give me the idea.

However, showing the breakdown of what income comes from which types of monetization really helps give an idea of how YOUR philosophy (which you talk about in your blog) results in what kind of income flow. That’s very cool, rather than just having a lump number for the quarter.

Thanks for your willingness to share that info, and to share your experiences and advice!

Can I borrow some money?

I love reading the numbers – they give inspiration. But I’m curious… You said:
* Advertising: $8,370.00
* Affiliate Promotions: $4,057.74
* Book/Disc Sales: $311.56
* Membership subscriptions: $8,670.78

When you say “advertising” do you mean people pay to advertise on your blogs? Also, what are the membership subscriptions for?

I’d be curious to know how many blogs you have and what some of them are…

You do an amazing job of not being self-indulgent. From your tag line to your comments, you are obviously a very real person with empathy.

I don’t think you come across as bragging at all on these posts, although it might be wise to always have a disclaimer paragraph for the newcomers.

As always, thank you for sharing!

Yes David,

I’ll have to agree with everyone so far. I too enjoy reading your posts about what you’ve earned both quarterly and monthly. It helps me to keep hopes that one day I too can reach a milestone like this financially. Keep up the great work!!!
