In April 2010, I earned a total of $1,544.
- $962 – Direct advertising (banners, text links, paid reviews)
- $489 – Travel Blog Success
- $58 – Woo Themes affiliate payment
- $35 – Linkworth text link ad
My streak of 3 straight months over the $2,000 mark ended in April, however I was still happy to be earning over 3 times what I made the same month the year before (2009).
Travel Blog Success earnings dipped noticeably, and I knew a plateau was inevitable. I found the post-launch marketing push to be more draining than I expected, and I didn’t keep the sales pressure up for very long.
On the plus side, the feedback from the people joining was very positive. I’d only had a handful of refund requests, and those were in the first few weeks, mostly due to personal financial reasons (ie. they shouldn’t have purchased the membership to begin with).
