In May 2009, I earned $1,338.
- $1,134 from a Direct text link sale
- $105 from Linkworth
- $85 from Text Link Ads
- $13 Amazon.com
This was my second biggest earnings month on record, and the biggest if I am disregarding the highest month (which was something of a fluke because the advertiser made a mistake in purchasing 3 links for the same URL, just with different anchor text…though he let me keep the money).
As you can see, direct sales made up the bulk of earnings. Selling links for 6 or 12 months at a time is the way to go as neither the advertiser, nor I, want to keep up month-to-month managing a single link.
Earnings from May were more than enough to cover the purchase of a brand new HP Pavilion Entertainment PC. This purchase was the first step toward really investing in my blogs as a future source of significant income, whether I am living at home or traveling abroad.
