This post is a short report of what I accomplished in November compared to October 2007.
Earnings:
- Adsense: Nov. $9.86; Oct. $0.56 % increase: 1761%
- Amazon Associates: Nov. $0.40; Oct. 0.58 % decrease: 31%
- Commission Junction: none both months
- Clickbank: none both months
- Associated Content: none both months
Subscribers (November only):
Number of Site Visitors (November only):
Right now I’m using the number of site visitors to measure activity. I’m not sure if I should be using that number or page views. I also want to get my sites’ stickiness up to at least 2 minutes on average. If you are interested in the site’s content you will stay around longer to read or view what’s there.

I finally sat down and wrote out my internet marketing goals. This is the first time I’ve written them down. Some are earnings goals and some are non-financial goals that will lead to greater income later. I’m putting them into a post because it will help me be more accountable to make these goals reality.
Blog Subscriptions and Traffic
Double the average number of subscribers over the month to each of my blogs as measured by Feedburner (the number listed is the goal. Divide by 2 and you know how many current subscribers I have).
Increase blog traffic by 50% each. The numbers given are the average total number of visitors I want to have over this month based on Google Analytics.
How am I going to increase traffic and subscribers?
- Please visit each of the blogs above and please leave comments and subscribe if you like what you read!
- Finish moving my blogs to HostGator and setting them up with WordPress. I have 7 blogs currently. Three are completely moved, up, and monetized. Four have all the posts moved, but I still need to customize the sites with new templates, widgets, and they need to be monetized.
- Write a minimum of 1 post twice per month worth reading for each blog (14 posts/month).
- Choose one blog (of the other 6) and dedicate 2-3 months on making it the best it can be. Write great anchor articles for it, write promotional articles to promote them, and research the subject to provide the best content possible, on-topic, of course.
- Set up a BlogRush filter to keep the lesser posts off of syndication through them.
- Submit the best posts to the social sites through Socialposter to get the word out.
- Have the WordPress subscribe_remind widget installed on each blog to increase the number of subscribers. This widget asks the reader to subscribe at the bottom of each post. If they enjoyed it and want to subscribe, all they have to do is click on the link.
- Continue working on Wealthy Affiliate training. Use the knowledge to improve my affiliate program income.
- Continue working on The Immediate Edge training.
- Continue reviewing the new Thirty Day Challenge content if it changed since August.
Online Income
- Adsense: $80
- Amazon Associates: $10
- Clickbank: $10
- Commission Junction: $25
- Associated Content: $4 (publish one article)
Total: $129
That equals $4.16/day everyday this month.
My first goal is supposed to be $10/day per month. I joined Amy Bass’s facebook group in September with that goal being the first goal. But, I need to at least make payout on each affiliate account before I work towards $10/day.
How am I going to increase my earnings?
- By completing the above tasks to increase traffic and subscribers.
- Hopefully, more traffic will lead to more clicks and more sales.
- Pick better affiliate products to promote (I’m learning that through WA).
- Research other affiliate programs like, TextLinkAds.com and Yahoo Affiliates.
I would love it if you would leave comments and let me know what you think of these goals.

This DVD is really cool and very disturbing. If you saw the documentary “Supersize Me” about the guy who ate McDonalds’ food three meals a day for a month, you will like this documentary along similar lines, except the subject is money and debt.
At least the guy eating the McDonald’s food knew what he was getting himself into before he started the experiment. The American public has no idea what they’re getting themselves into when they sign up for that credit card or interest-only mortgage or HELOC. Banks are in business to charge you fees and interest to make their profits. The big banks couldn’t care less about you or your financial situation. They just want to sell you more credit because that’s how they make money. They don’t care if you can’t pay it back.
The book and movie go together. I watched the DVD first and read the book second. Then I recommend watching the DVD again.
The book is based on the movie. I highly recommend it. It’s the narration for the movie and increases your understanding of what you saw considerably.
Together, they will open your eyes about the depth of the debt and predatory lending problems consumers face today. Credit and debt are a pernicious problem in our economy and we, the consumers, need to be aware of it and we need to take action to stop our hard-earned income from going into the profits of the large banking and financial corporations.
Every interest payment you make is profit to a lender. Every late fee you pay is profit for the bank or credit card company. Every overdraft charge you pay is hugely profitable to your bank. Every ATM fee you pay is pure profit to the banks involved, the bank of the machine you use and your own bank.
Let’s stop putting money into credit and banking companies instead of in our own savings!
