May turned out to be another good month for direct sales of text links. Together with the recurring revenue from TLA and Linkworth, I am starting to enjoy a regular income month to month.
I had doubled my rate for ReviewMe from $60 to $120, mostly because I do not enjoy writing reviews, nor subjecting my growing audience to them, however if a company finds the value gained worth the cost, I want to reap a bigger reward for the time and effort. I sold one, so clearly I was undervaluing my site when the rate was half as much.
In May 2008, I earned $637.
- $365 from direct text link sales
- $119 from Text Link Ads
- $110 from reader donations
- $60 from ReviewMe
- $35 from Linkworth
