Genius Types income last month was $787.33.

Income

October Income

The compound growth rate (three-month rolling average) is currently at 21% per month.

With 55,415 page views, the CPM (income per 1000 page views) was $14.20, up 20% from the month before.

Income Breakdown

Text-Link Ads: $331.58

    Text-link Ads took the top spot for the first time ever. Genius Types made $181.58 from text links sold and an additional $150 from affiliate referrals.


Google AdSense: $242.89

October AdSense Income

    AdSense income took a drop for the first month this year, falling into the second spot. Traffic has been slower lately, and AdSense income is reflecting that.

LinkWorth: $150.00

    No new LinkWorth advertisers were added last month, but the residual income on the 3 that I’ve had remained.

Amazon Affiliate Program: $20.69

    Amazon income paid for another book to read this month.


Tips: $10.00

    A little excitement in the tip jar last month. Ten bucks from some really generous readers!


Revver: $2.17

    I keep Revver around just to giggle every time the income stats come in. Most of the money comes from this little vide that we did of our cat Milo. We like to joke that that makes him employed, unlike our other cat who mooches off us all day.

That’s quite a commendable income each month. Much more than anything I make from blogs. You might consider adding Kontera to your mix… however, I think you will also see a jump soon – grab a few more readers, and you’ll crack the $1000 mark.

2 Brian Lee November 9, 2007 at 12:26 pm

Thanks, Steve.

Do you find Kontera to be a worthwhile endeavor?

Congrats!

I just posted my October earnings too on the 1st.

I have multiple streams set up (just as you do).
& I made approximately the same as you did from my online income streams.

Nice! I’m just on the beginning stages with my blog, and it’s nice to see someone else rising from small to large. Thanks for being candid about your blog income.

Just think, eventually the cat will be earning his own food monthly,
Great Stuff, you have sure changed my attitude towards income,

This sounds like a successful blogging job. Wish you luck in the future and consider a redesign with a better monetized theme.

I would also be curious what was your traffic in October, if you can share it.

Best wishes.

7 Alex Ion December 7, 2007 at 6:12 am

Sorry about the traffic, I don’t know why I skipped it. I see 55k pageviews and a lot of money from that. The eCPM is great.

can you provide tips on how you were able to make you blog site successful.

9 Red Icculus January 20, 2008 at 6:47 am

How did you get the initial push for readers?

10 Brian Lee January 20, 2008 at 9:23 am

It took several months, but I submitted to a lot of blog carnivals and connected with a lot of other bloggers to get the ball rolling.

For many years I have been looking for an entrepreneurial venture where I could work from home. Now that the internet is a viable way to do business, I created my own site and I am continually developing it and monetizing it.

It is a great way to earn money, use your creativity and work from home. I love it!

12 Lee Stuckey June 26, 2008 at 5:51 pm

Great information, I have just added adsense to my web site, I am just learning a few ways how to monitize it.

Thanks for the information, I will click on the way out.

Congrats man.. I am new pf blogger who is not even remotely close to seeing a profit.. How does it feel to be profitable in your blogging?

That is some truly phenomenal passive income from your blog. I noticed that you haven’t updated your stats for a while however. I would be interested in learning how your online ventures have gone since the latest updates. I would also be interested in learning how your vending business has been going.

15 Brian Lee April 16, 2010 at 4:38 pm

Hey, thanks! I took a few years off from blogging and started back full force in 2010. Some of the affiliate programs I was using back then are irrelevant now, so I am tweaking the blog income.

I have also put the bulk candy business on auto-pilot while I focus on real estate investing. There is much more money to be had in real estate. Check out my progress here.

I have all my blogs on microsoft word and Sunday is my day of publishing a few and starting a website :) Thanks for your honesty and well done for your creative income, keep up the good work.
