<p><p>Genius Types income last month was <strong>$787.33.</strong>  </p>
<h3>Income</h3>
<p><img width="467" height="300" src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/octoberIncome.jpg" alt="October Income" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://geniustypes.com/find_your_blogs_compound_growth_rate/">compound growth rate</a> (three-month rolling average) is currently at <strong>21% per month</strong>.</p>
<p>With <strong>55,415 page views</strong>, the CPM (income per 1000 page views) was <strong>$14.20</strong>, up 20% from the month before.</p>
<h3>Income Breakdown</h3>
<ul>
$331.58 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-Link Ads</a><br />
$242.89 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/">Google AdSense</a><br />
$150.00 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a><br />
$20.69 from Amazon Affiliate Commissions<br />
$10.00 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/leave_a_tip/">tips</a><br />
$2.17 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/passive_online_income_with_revvercom/">Revver.com</a> </ul>
<h3><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-Link Ads: $331.58</a></h3>
<ul>
<a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-link Ads</a> 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.</ul>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/"><br />
<h3>Google AdSense: $242.89</h3>
<p></a> </p>
<p><img width="467" height="248" src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/octoberAdsense.jpg" alt="October AdSense Income" /></p>
<ul>
<a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/">AdSense</a> 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.</ul>
<h3><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth: $150.00</a></h3>
<ul>
No new <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a> advertisers were added last month, but the residual income on the 3 that I&#8217;ve had remained.
</ul>
<h3>Amazon Affiliate Program: $20.69</h3>
<ul>
Amazon income paid for another book to read this month.</ul>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/leave_a_tip/"><br />
<h3>Tips: $10.00</h3>
<p></a> </p>
<ul>
A little excitement in the <a href="http://geniustypes.com/leave_a_tip/">tip jar</a> last month.  Ten bucks from some really generous readers!
</ul>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/passive_online_income_with_revvercom/"><br />
<h3>Revver: $2.17</h3>
<p></a></p>
<ul>
I keep Revver around just to giggle every time the income stats come in.  Most of the money comes from <a href="http://revver.com/video/50103/jumping-cat/" class="broken_link">this little video that we did of our cat Milo</a>.  We like to joke that that makes him employed, unlike our other cat who mooches off us all day.</ul>

<p><p>Genius Types income was up <strong>24%</strong> in September to <strong>$784.08.</strong>  </p>
<h3>LinkWorth Reversal</h3>
<p>If you follow my <a href="http://geniustypes.com/category/income_reports/">income reports</a>, you might notice that September&#8217;s figure is actually lower than the figure <a href="http://geniustypes.com/84158_blog_income_august_2007_/">I reported in August</a>.  The reason for this discrepancy is a controversial adjustment that <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a> made to affiliate accounts last month.  This adjustment affected affiliates who have recently referred new publishers to LinkWorth.</p>
<p>In an email dated September 11, 2007, LinkWorth notified affiliates that a programming error had overstated affiliate earnings on new referrals.  As a result of this mistake, they debited over $300 from my account.  They even debited $90 that had already been direct-deposited into my bank account.</p>
<p>This whole mess started in July when I referred 9 new publishers to LinkWorth.  Each time I logged into my LinkWorth account, I a saw a $10 credit for each of these referrals for a total of $90 that I thought I earned in July.  In August, I referred another 21 publishers and showed a $210 referral credit for the month.</p>
<p>I had referred even more publishers when I received the email telling me that these credits had been a mistake.  LinkWorth informed me that this particular referral fee was never promised in their terms and that a programming error was mistakingly crediting affiliate accounts.</p>
<p>In an email, I asked LinkWorth to consider correcting the problem from that point forward, but to leave our accounts alone.  From my point of view, reporting it on our login screens implied that we earned the money.</p>
<p>LinkWorth&#8217;s response was basically that it was clear in the contract and they were going ahead with the account reversals.  As a result, I&#8217;ve had to restate two months of blog earnings and I&#8217;m over $300 poorer than I thought I was.</p>
<p>LinkWorth is still a strong money earner for Genius Types and I would recommend it; but I think you can understand my frustration.</p>
<h3>September Income</h3>
<p><img width="467" height="300" src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/septemberIncome.jpg" alt="September Income" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://geniustypes.com/find_your_blogs_compound_growth_rate/">compound growth rate</a> (three-month rolling average) is at <strong>25% per month</strong>:  excellent, but less than the 50% I thought I had with the LinkWorth referrals.</p>
<p>With <strong>66,207 page views</strong> in September, my ICM (income per 1000 page views) was <strong>$11.80.</strong>.</p>
<h3>Income Breakdown</h3>
<ul>
$339.38 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/">Google AdSense</a><br />
$200.00 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a><br />
$191.29 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-Link Ads</a><br />
$17.64 from Amazon Affiliate Commissions<br />
$3.00 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/leave_a_tip/">tips</a><br />
$2.77 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/passive_online_income_with_revvercom/">Revver.com</a> </ul>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/"><br />
<h3>Google AdSense: $339.38</h3>
<p></a> </p>
<p><img width="467" height="248" src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/septemberAdsense.jpg" alt="September AdSense Income" /></p>
<ul>
<a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/">AdSense</a> income jumped 26% in August, on par with overall income.  AdSense has been the most consistent and productive income earner since the beginning on Genius Types.  </p>
<p>With rumors of a <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/link_sellers_are_punished_goog.php">shifting policy at Google towards link-sellers</a>, I&#8217;ll be interested to see if Genius Types keeps its pagerank of 6 and therefore high search traffic and AdSense clicks.</ul>
<h3><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth: $200.00</a></h3>
<ul>
I now have 3 advertisers purchasing links through <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a> and my cut is $50 each.</p>
<p>The other $50 is a result of <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth&#8217;s</a> new affiliate policy on publisher referrals, which now pays $50 if the referral does over $100 in business.  One of my 30+ referrals has achieved this.
</ul>
<h3><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-Link Ads: $191.29</a></h3>
<ul>
<a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-link Ads</a> sold out all ten spots in September.   At $20 per link, that got me pretty close to $200.  Now, the only way I&#8217;ll make more with TLA is when they adjust my price per link.  With <a href="http://geniustypes.com/traffic_report_september_2007/">traffic on Genius Types</a> increasing the way it has been, I anticipate that happening soon. </ul>
<h3>Amazon Affiliate Program: $17.64</h3>
<ul>
All the book reviews I&#8217;ve been doing as of late have paid off.  The income is nothing like AdSense, but it&#8217;s better than a sharp stick in the eye.</ul>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/leave_a_tip/"><br />
<h3>Tips: $3.00</h3>
<p></a> </p>
<ul>
The <a href="http://geniustypes.com/leave_a_tip/">tip jar</a> had 3 bucks in it last month.  Thank you!
</ul>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/passive_online_income_with_revvercom/"><br />
<h3>Revver: $2.77</h3>
<p></a></p>
<ul>
Almost all of my <a href="http://geniustypes.com/passive_online_income_with_revvercom/">Revver.com</a> comes from one article: <a href="http://geniustypes.com/five_ways_to_create_passive_income_with_little_or_no_money/">Five Ways to Create Passive Income with Little or no Money</a> which also happens to be my most viewed.</ul>
<p>Overall, a great month on par with expectations.  Let&#8217;s see what next month brings.</p>

<p><blockquote><p>This income report has been revised because of an account adjustment by LinkWorth.  </p>
<p>In an email dated September 11, 2007, LinkWorth notified all affiliates that a programming error had overstated affiliate earnings on new referrals.  As a result of this mistake, they debited $300 from my account ($90 of which they had already deposited into my bank account for July, and $210 for September).</p>
<p>At the time, I had referred around 30 new publishers and each time I logged into my LinkWorth account, I saw a $10 credit for each of these referrals.  LinkWorth claims that their policy never included this credit, and that it was a mistake to show it in our accounts.</p>
<p>Because of this change, my LinkWorth earnings in August were actually $138.71 instead of the $348.71 reported in this post; and total earnings were $631.58 instead of $841.58.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Genius Types blog income was up an incredible <strong>57%</strong> in August, with earnings totaling <strong>$841.58.</strong>  The gains were fueled in large part by stellar results from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a>.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://geniustypes.com/find_your_blogs_compound_growth_rate/">compound growth rate</a> (three-month rolling average) has consistently registered at <strong>50% per month</strong>!  </p>
<p>With <strong>62,311 page views</strong> in August, my ICM (income per 1000 page views) was <strong>$13.51, up about 10% from last month</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/exponential_growth_of_money_and_success/">I predicted this blog would grow exponentially</a>, but I had no idea the growth curve would match up this perfectly.</p>

<p><strong>Income Breakdown</strong></p>
<ul>
$348.71 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a><br />
$259.74 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/">Google AdSense</a><br />
$203.26 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-Link Ads</a><br />
$22.31 from Amazon Affiliate Commissions<br />
$4.95 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/leave_a_tip/">tips</a><br />
$2.61 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/passive_online_income_with_revvercom/">Revver.com</a> </ul>
<p><strong><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a></strong> $348.71</p>
<ul>
<a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a> has been a surprise money-maker since I introduced it to Genius Types last month. <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a> is a text-link broker in the spirit of Text-Link Ads, but with more flexibility.  </p>
<p>It claimed the top money-making spot in its second month.</p>
<p>Since <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a> allows us to set our own prices for ads, I&#8217;ve been able to harvest a higher fee per link.  I sold another link in August to bring my total to three ads.  I get 50% of the $100 fee per link for a pro-rated total of $138.71.</p>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a> also has an outstanding affiliate program that gives you $10 per signup and 5% of the recurring transactions for the life of each account.  Being a cashflow guy, I really like this model of recurring residual income.</p>
<p>As a result of <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">an article I wrote about Linkworth</a>, 21 people signed up last month, giving me a total of $210 in referral fees.
</ul>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/"><strong>Google AdSense</strong></a> $259.74</p>
<ul>
<a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/">AdSense</a> income jumped 39% in August.  The click-through rate has continued to be strong, and the average income per click is edging up slightly.  Of coarse, the main reason AdSense income increased was the dramatic increase in pageviews.</ul>
<p><img width="467" height="257" src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/augustAdsense.jpg" alt="August AdSense Income" /></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-Link Ads</a></strong> $203.26</p>
<ul>
I reached a significant milestone with <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-link Ads</a> in August when I sold out the ad slots.  Unfortunately, TLA has kept the fee for each ad the same since I opened an account with them.  </ul>
<p><strong>Amazon Affiliate Program</strong> $22.31</p>
<ul>
I&#8217;ve been pleasantly surprised with my Amazon affiliate income lately.  I never really expect to make anything with them, but I&#8217;m selling more and more books for them with each book review. </ul>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/leave_a_tip/"><strong>Tips</strong></a> $4.95</p>
<ul>
I&#8217;m always amazed at people&#8217;s generosity when they leave something in my <a href="http://geniustypes.com/leave_a_tip/">tip jar</a>!  Thank you to everyone who has!
</ul>
<p><strong>Revver</strong> $2.61</p>
<ul>
<a href="http://geniustypes.com/passive_online_income_with_revvercom/">Revver.com</a>bought another coffee for me last month.  The majority of the clicks are from a <a href="http://revver.com/video/50103/jumping-cat/" class="broken_link">silly little video of my cat, Milo</a>.  I guess I can stop bugging him to get a job.</ul>
<p>I can&#8217;t wait to see what next month will bring!</p>

<p><p>I made <strong>$1795.25</strong> from passive income sources in July, up $262.45 (15%) over June.   </p>
<p>The increase this month was due to gains in both <a href="http://geniustypes.com/category/income_reports/">blog income</a> and <a href="http://geniustypes.com/network_marketing_for_passive_income/">network marketing</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/julyPassive.jpg" width="478" height="300" alt="July Passive Income" /></p>
<p>Some of my sources are more passive than others (as explained in <em><em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/how_passive_is_your_income/">How Passive is Your Income</a></em></em>), but each source has a strong residual component.  </p>
<p>Here are the the income streams in order of most income earned:</p>
<ol>
<li>$1019.28 &#8211; <a href="http://geniustypes.com/how_to_start_a_bulk_candy_vending_business_for_passive_income/">Bulk Candy Vending</a></li>
<li>$534.48 &#8211; <a href="http://geniustypes.com/category/income_reports/">Blogging</a></li>
<li>$241.49 &#8211; <a href="http://geniustypes.com/network_marketing_for_passive_income/">Network Marketing</a></li>
</ol>
<p>(Read <em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/five_ways_to_create_passive_income_with_little_or_no_money/">Five Ways to Create Passive Income With Little or No Money</a></em> for more on these sources.)</p>
<h3>Bulk Candy Vending &#8211; $1019.28</h3>
<p>Bulk Candy vending has been holding strong.  I haven&#8217;t added any new locations in the last few months, so income has leveled off. </p>
<p>The average profit per location was $23.70, right around my expectations of $25.  Thats&#8217; a 72% profit margin when accounting for the cost of candy.</p>
<p>(Read more about bulk vending in <em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/how_to_start_a_bulk_candy_vending_business_for_passive_income/">How to Start a Bulk Candy Vending Business for Passive Income</a></em>.)</p>
<h3>Blogging &#8211; $534.48</h3>
<p>Blog income took another nice increase this month, mainly because of my new-found success with <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a>.  Read the <a href="http://geniustypes.com/blog_income_report_july_2007/">July Blog Income Report</a> for a full breakdown.</p>
<p>(Read more about starting a blog in <em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/how_to_blog_the_manual/">How to Blog :: The Manual</a></em>.)</p>
<h3>Network Marketing &#8211; $241.49</h3>
<p>I&#8217;ve been putting a little more time into my <a href="http://geniustypes.com/network_marketing_for_passive_income/">network marketing</a> company this last month, and it&#8217;s starting to pay off.</p>
<p>(<a href="http://geniustypes.com/network_marketing_for_passive_income/">Read more about network marketing here</a>.)</p>
<h3>Getting Closer!</h3>
<p>My goal is to make enough passive income to pay all my expenses.  At that point, my time will be free to do what I love: <a href="http://geniustypes.com/how_to_break_into_the_film_industry/">making film</a>.</p>

<p><blockquote><p>
This income report has been revised because of an account adjustment by LinkWorth.  </p>
<p>In an email dated September 11, 2007, LinkWorth notified all affiliates that a programming error had overstated affiliate earnings on new referrals.  As a result of this mistake, they debited $300 from my account ($90 of which they had already deposited into my bank account for July, and $210 for September).</p>
<p>At the time, I had referred around 30 new publishers and each time I logged into my LinkWorth account, I saw a $10 credit for each of these referrals.  LinkWorth claims that their policy never included this credit, and that it was a mistake to show it in our accounts.</p>
<p>Because of this change, my LinkWorth earnings in July were actually $66.13 instead of the $156.13 reported in this post; and total earnings were $444.48 instead of $534.48.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Genius Types income was up <strong>35%</strong> in July, with total earnings at <strong>$534.48.</strong></p>
<p>That brings the <a href="http://geniustypes.com/find_your_blogs_compound_growth_rate/">compound growth rate</a> (three-month rolling average) to <strong>50% per month</strong>!  </p>
<p>With <strong>43,442 page views</strong> in June, my ICM (income per 1000 page views) was <strong>$12.30, up 52% from last month</strong>.</p>
<p>The big star this month was <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a>, which has blown away all my expectations.</p>
<p><strong>Income Breakdown</strong></p>
<ul>
$186.61 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/">Google AdSense</a><br />
$156.13 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a><br />
$120.56 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-Link Ads</a><br />
$45.00 from the <a href="http://geniustypes.com/aaron_walls_seo_book/">SEO Book</a> Affiliate Program<br />
$13.95 from Amazon Affiliate Commissions<br />
$11.00 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/leave_a_tip/">tips</a><br />
$1.23 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/passive_online_income_with_revvercom/">Revver.com</a> </ul>
<p><img width="467" height="257" src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/julyIncome.jpg" alt="July Income" /></p>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/"><strong>Google AdSense</strong></a> $186.61</p>
<ul>
<a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/">AdSense</a> reclaimed the top spot this month.  My click-through rate has continued to increase ever since I changed the link color in my AdSense ads from red to blue.</ul>
<p><img width="467" height="257" src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/julyAdsense.jpg" alt="July AdSense Income" /></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a></strong> $156.13</p>
<ul>
I was introduced to <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a> last month as an alternative to Text-Link Ads.  I was skeptical at first, by my mind was quickly changed when my first ad sold for over twice the rate that I was getting from Text-Link Ads.</p>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a> allows you to set your own prices for ads.  As an experiment, I set my ad prices at $100 per link (vs. $40 for Text-Link Ads).  You also have the choice of taking 70% of the revenue and letting the market decide how many ads you sell, or 50% and having <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a> help market for you.  I chose the latter and sold 2 ads within the first two weeks.</p>
<p>After those two ads were pro-rated for the remaining days in the month, I earned $66.13.</p>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">LinkWorth</a> also has an outstanding affiliate program that gives you $10 per signup and 5% of the recurring transactions for the life of each account.  Being a cashflow guy, I really like this model of recurring residual income.</p>
<p>As a result of <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_linkworth/">an article I wrote about Linkworth</a>, 9 people signed up last month for a total of $90.
</ul>
<p><strong><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-Link Ads</a></strong> $120.56</p>
<ul>
<a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-link Ads</a> dropped from 1st place in June to 3rd in July.  I&#8217;ve just about sold out of my links, but my link price has been stuck at $40 since I joined.</ul>
<p><strong><a href="http://geniustypes.com/aaron_walls_seo_book/">SEO Book</a> Affiliate Program</strong> $45</p>
<ul>
My review of <a href="http://geniustypes.com/aaron_walls_seo_book/">SEO Book</a> last month brought in a $25 bonus and $20 for a sale.  This ebook is definitely worth the money, and they have a pretty generous affiliate program to boot.
</ul>
<p><strong>Amazon Affiliate Program</strong> $13.95</p>
<ul>
Commissions from Amazon have been steadily rising with every book review.  It&#8217;s not much, but worth the time to put in the affiliate links.</ul>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/leave_a_tip/"><strong>Tips</strong></a> $11</p>
<ul>
Thank you to all the generous readers who left tips last month!  I&#8217;m always very surprised and flattered when I find a dollar in my<a href="http://geniustypes.com/leave_a_tip/"> jar</a>!
</ul>
<p><strong>Revver</strong></p>
<ul>
Bringing up the rear again, was <a href="http://geniustypes.com/passive_online_income_with_revvercom/">Revver.com</a>, with a total of $1.23.  I&#8217;m obviously not very impressed, but I&#8217;ll take the money and buy a cup of coffee.
</ul>
<p>It feels great to be making over $500 a month!</p>

<p><p>I made $1532.80 from passive income sources in June, up $90.13 (6%) over May.   </p>
<p>The thing I like most about passive income is the cumulative effect.  The work I put in each month goes towards <em>increasing</em> my cashflow, not <em>re-creating</em> it.  In other words, once I set up an income stream, it keeps coming in.  Therefore, I can focus my time on adding to it.</p>
<p><img src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/junePassive.jpg" width="478" height="300" alt="June Passive Income" /></p>
<p>Some of my sources are more passive than others (as explained in <em><em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/how_passive_is_your_income/">How Passive is Your Income</a></em></em>), but each source has a strong residual component.  </p>
<p>Here are the the income streams in order of most income earned:</p>
<ol>
<li>$1061.31 &#8211; Bulk Candy Vending</li>
<li>$396.29 &#8211; Blogging</li>
<li>$ 75.20 &#8211; Network Marketing</li>
</ol>
<p>(Read <em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/five_ways_to_create_passive_income_with_little_or_no_money/">Five Ways to Create Passive Income With Little or No Money</a></em> for more on these sources.)</p>
<h3>Bulk Candy Vending &#8211; $1061.31</h3>
<p>Ahh, bulk vending&#8230; my good-ole standby.  </p>
<p>The average profit per location was $25.27, almost exactly what I budgeted ($25).  Thats&#8217; a 72% profit margin when accounting for the cost of candy.</p>
<p>(Read more about bulk vending in <em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/how_to_start_a_bulk_candy_vending_business_for_passive_income/">How to Start a Bulk Candy Vending Business for Passive Income</a></em>.)</p>
<h3>Blogging &#8211; $396.29</h3>
<p>My Blog income keeps rising.  I&#8217;ve had 3 consecutive months of 50%+ gains.  Read the <em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/blog_income_report_june_2007/">June Blog Income Report</a></em> for complete breakdown.</p>
<p>(Read more about starting a blog in <em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/how_to_blog_the_manual/">How to Blog :: The Manual</a></em>.)</p>
<h3>Network Marketing &#8211; $75.20</h3>
<p>My income from my <a href="http://geniustypes.com/network_marketing_for_passive_income/">network marketing</a> company is rising steadily.</p>
<p>(<a href="http://geniustypes.com/network_marketing_for_passive_income/">Read more about network marketing here</a>.)</p>
<h3>Movin&#8217; on Up!</h3>
<p>My goal is to make enough passive income to pay all my expenses.  At that point, my time will be free to do what I love: making film.</p>

<p><p>Income produced on Genius Types <strong>jumped by another 58%</strong> in June, the third consecutive month of 50%+ increases!  Total earnings were <strong>$396.29.</strong></p>
<p>The <a href="http://geniustypes.com/find_your_blogs_compound_growth_rate/">compound monthly growth rate</a> (three-month rolling average) is at a very healthy <strong>60%</strong>.  </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s pretend for a moment that I can keep up this insane rate of income growth for the next twelve months.  If that happens, I&#8217;ll earn $69,665 in June of 2008!</p>
<p>With <strong>48,952 page views</strong> in June, Genius Types earned <strong>$8.09 per 1000</strong> page views.</p>
<p><strong>Income Breakdown</strong></p>
<ul>
$174.93 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-Link Ads</a><br />
$171.36 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/">Google AdSense</a><br />
$37.00 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/leave_a_tip/">tips</a><br />
$10.51 from Amazon Affiliate Commissions<br />
$2.49 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/passive_online_income_with_revvercom/">Revver.com</a> </ul>
<p>Does this graph remind you of anything?  How about <a href="http://geniustypes.com/exponential_growth_of_money_and_success/">exponential growth</a>?</p>
<p><img width="467" height="257" src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/juneIncome.jpg" alt="June Income" /></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-Link Ads</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-link Ads</a> Ads out-performed <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/">Google AdSense</a> for the first time.  I sold $174.93 worth of <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-links</a> in June.</p>
<p>This number was boosted by a $25 commission for referring a new publisher to <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-link Ads</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/"><strong>Google AdSense</strong></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m currently averaging around $6 a day from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/">AdSense</a>. The day-to-day earnings have been much more consistent now that I&#8217;m averaging more than 1000 page impressions a day.</p>
<p>I made a huge discovery that almost doubled my click-through rate.  By simply changing the color of my <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/">AdSense</a> ads from a pinkish-red and black to bright blue and orange, I saw an instant increase in CTR.</p>
<p><img width="467" height="257" src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/juneAdsense.jpg" alt="June AdSense Income" /></p>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/leave_a_tip/"><strong>Tips</strong></a></p>
<p>June was my best month ever for <a href="http://geniustypes.com/leave_a_tip/">tips</a>, $37.  </p>
<p>Ever since I changed my tip link from &#8220;please consider leaving a tip&#8221; to &#8220;please consider leaving a $1 tip,&#8221; tips have become a contributer.  Requesting a specific number seems to be working.</p>
<p><strong>Amazon Affiliate Program</strong></p>
<p>I earned <strong>$10.51</strong> in June from Amazon.com book sale commissions.  The more books I review, the more books Amazon sells.</p>
<p><strong>Revver</strong></p>
<p>Bringing up the rear again, was <a href="http://geniustypes.com/passive_online_income_with_revvercom/">Revver.com</a>, with a total of $2.49.  (Hey, it&#8217;s better than a sharp stick in the eye!)</p>
<p>Thanks again for all your support.  I can&#8217;t wait to see what next month brings!</p>

<p><p>I&#8217;m extremely pleased to report that in May, I made $1442.68 from passive income sources.  That&#8217;s up $336.72, a 23% increase over March!  The boost was fueled by a new wave of bulk candy vending locations and a big bump in Genius Types income.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m closer than ever to my goal of <a href="http://geniustypes.com/values/time_freedom/">time freedom</a>, which is when my passive income will be greater than my expenses.</p>
<p><img src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/mayPassive.jpg" width="429" height="300" alt="May Passive Income" /></p>
<p>Some of my sources are more passive than others (as explained in <em><em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/how_passive_is_your_income/">How Passive is Your Income</a></em></em>), but each source has a strong residual component.  </p>
<p>Here are the the income streams in order of most income earned:</p>
<ol>
<li>$1139.66 &#8211; Bulk Candy Vending</li>
<li>$245.41 &#8211; Blogging</li>
<li>$ 57.61 &#8211; Network Marketing</li>
</ol>
<p>(Read <em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/five_ways_to_create_passive_income_with_little_or_no_money/">Five Ways to Create Passive Income With Little or No Money</a></em> for more on these sources.)</p>
<h3>Bulk Candy Vending &#8211; $1139.66</h3>
<p>I consider bulk candy vending to be a passive income source because I only work it two days a month.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m finally reaping the benefits of landing about 10 new locations two months ago.  I&#8217;m down to around 7 machines in my kitchen, and I&#8217;m anxious to get them out.</p>
<p>(Read about the mechanics of my business in <em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/how_to_start_a_bulk_candy_vending_business_for_passive_income/">How to Start a Bulk Candy Vending Business for Passive Income</a></em>.)</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t add any locations in May, in fact, I actually lost 2 bringing my total to 42 locations.  One of the lost locations was pretty good, but the other was awful; so they canceled each other out.  </p>
<p>The decrease actually helped my averages. The average profit per location was $27.13.  My numbers reflect a 72% profit margin when accounting for the cost of candy.</p>
<h3>Blogging &#8211; $245.41</h3>
<p>Blogging income is on the move!  Read the <em>May Blog Income Report</em> for complete breakdown.</p>
<h3>Network Marketing &#8211; $57.61</h3>
<p>I made enough from my <a href="http://geniustypes.com/network_marketing_for_passive_income/">network marketing</a> company to pay for the products I buy.  Basically, I got all my consumable Sam&#8217;s Club-type products for free.  Watch out for this number to jump in the coming months as I focus on this stream of income.</p>
<p>(Read more about my <a href="http://geniustypes.com/network_marketing_for_passive_income/">network marketing company here</a>.)</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>If I can sustain this level of growth, I&#8217;ll be sitting pretty before I know it.  Thanks for all of your support!</p>

<p><p>Income produced on Genius Types <strong>jumped by a whopping 61%</strong> in May!  Total earnings rose to <strong>$245.41</strong>.</p>
<p>The three-month rolling <a href="http://geniustypes.com/find_your_blogs_compound_growth_rate/">compound monthly growth rate</a> of income earned is at <strong>51%</strong>.  Can you imagine a stock that grew at 51% <em>per month</em>!</p>
<h3>Income Breakdown</h3>
<ul>
$113.81 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/">Google AdSense</a><br />
$105.33 from <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-Link Ads</a><br />
$12.00 from tips<br />
$10.00 from Amazon Affiliate Commissions<br />
$2.91 from Steve Aitchison&#8217;s Affiliate Program<br />
$1.36 from Revver.com </ul>
<p><img width="467" height="257" src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/mayIncome.jpg" alt="May Income" /></p>
<h3>Google AdSense</strong></p>
<p>Since I broke $100 a month with <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_google_adsense/">Adsense</a> in April, it&#8217;s been really fun to check my stats.  I set a one-day record in May with $12.55.  Here&#8217;s a breakdown over the last six months.</p>
<p><img width="467" height="257" src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/mayAdsense.jpg" alt="May AdSense Income" /></p>
<h3><a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-Link Ads</a></h3>
<p>I sold $105.33 worth of <a href="http://geniustypes.com/what_i_know_about_text-link_ads/">Text-link ads</a> in May, more than doubling my April number. </p>
<h3>Tips</h3>
<p>It was a good month for tips.  After going dry in April, my tip jar had 3 tips for $12 in May.  </p>
<p>I changed my tip request in May from &#8220;please consider leaving a tip&#8221; to &#8220;please consider leaving a $1 tip.&#8221;  Maybe the strategy of a specific number paid off.</p>
<h3>Amazon Affiliate Program</h3>
<p>I earned <strong>$10.00</strong> in April from Amazon.com book sale commissions.  A renewed emphasis on book reviews appears to be working out.</p>
<h3>Steve Aitchison<br />
<h3>
<p>I sold an <a href="http://geniustypes.com/link_soup_help_steven_aitchison_become_a_pro-blogger/">eBook for Steve Aitchison</a> that earned me a commission of $2.91.</p>
<h3>Revver</h3>
<p>Last, but not least, I earned $1.36 from Revver.com.</p>
<p>Thanks for your support of Genius Types!</p>

<p><p>In April, I made $1105.96 from passive income sources, up $206.98 from March.  These income streams are in addition to the income I make in my trade as a film producer.  </p>
<p>Some of my sources are more passive than others (as explained in <em><em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/how_passive_is_your_income/">How Passive is Your Income</a></em></em>), but each source has a strong residual component.  </p>
<p>Here are the four income streams in order of most income earned:</p>
<ol>
<li>$905.24 &#8211; Bulk Candy Vending</li>
<li>$152.53 &#8211; Blogging</li>
<li>$ 32.05 &#8211; Network Marketing</li>
<li>$ 16.14 &#8211; Automated eBay Business</li>
</li>
</ol>
<p>There is a detailed article breaking down all of these sources on <em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/five_ways_to_create_passive_income_with_little_or_no_money/">Five Ways to Create Passive Income With Little or No Money</a></em>.</p>
<h3>Bulk Candy Vending &#8211; $905.24</h3>
<p>I was able to increase my cashflow from vending by finding several new locations last month.  These new locations resulted in an additional $200 this month in income, without a noticeable increase in work.</p>
<p>I am down to a handful of machines that are now stored in my kitchen.  My plan is to place the remaining machines and then concentrate on another stream of income.</p>
<p>You can read about the mechanics of my business in <em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/how_to_start_a_bulk_candy_vending_business_for_passive_income/">How to Start a Bulk Candy Vending Business for Passive Income</a></em>.</p>
<p>In April, I added 11 locations between two cities: Los Angeles and Austin, TX, for a total of 44 locations.  The average profit per location was $20.57, roughly the same as last month, a 72% profit margin when accounting for the cost of candy.</p>
<h3>Blogging &#8211; $152.53</h3>
<p>Blogging income increased nicely in April.  Read the <em>April Monetization Report</em> for complete breakdown.</p>
<h3>Automated eBay Business &#8211; $16.14</h3>
<p>My eBay business is taking its own sweet time to develop.  Since I am running most of my auctions at cost in order to build a customer base, I won&#8217;t show much of a profit for several months.</p>
<h3>Network Marketing &#8211; $32.05</h3>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/network_marketing_for_passive_income/">Network marketing</a> provided $32.05 in income without an ounce of effort on my part.  I plan on focusing on this stream in the next few months.</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>For the first time in my life, I surpassed $1000 in passive income!  I am well on my way to my covering all of my expenses with passive income, the definition of <a href="http://geniustypes.com/values/time_freedom/">time freedom</a>.</p>

<p><p>Income produced on Genius Types <strong>jumped by over 50%</strong> in April!  Total earnings rose to <strong>$152.53</strong>.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://geniustypes.com/find_your_blogs_compound_growth_rate/">compound monthly growth rate</a> of income earned on GeniusTypes.com over the last three months is sitting at <strong>34%</strong>.  If it continues to grow at that rate, Genius Types will earn over $3800 in April of 2008.</p>
<h3>Six Months to $100</h3>
<p><a href="http://geniustypes.com/monetization_report_march_2007/">Last month&#8217;s prediction</a> of six months to $100 in Adsense just barely came true.  Total Adsense income for April was $100.34.  You can bet I was glued to my Adsense stats in the final hours of April.  I got that last click to put me over $100 in the nick of time.</p>
<h3>Income Breakdown</h3>
<ul>
$100.34 from Google AdSense<br />
$45.17 from Text-Link Ads<br />
$6.72 from Amazon Affiliate Commissions<br />
$.30 from Revver.com </ul>
<p><img width="467" height="257" src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/aprilIncome.jpg" alt="April Income" /></p>
<h3>Google AdSense</h3>
<p>It was a great feeling to get over the $100 hump with Google.  Here is a breakdown of how AdSense has treated me over the last six months.</p>
<p><img width="467" height="257" src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/aprilAdsense.jpg" alt="April AdSense Income" /></p>
<h3>Text-Link Ads</h3>
<p>April was an exciting month for Text-Link Ad Sales!  A total of three slots were sold  for a total of $45.17.</p>
<h3>Amazon Affiliate Program</h3>
<p>I earned <strong>$6.72</strong> in April from Amazon.com book sale commissions.  It was nice to see Amazon actually do something this month.  Hopefully, I&#8217;ll see more out of it in the future.</p>
<h3>Revver</h3>
<p>For the second month in a row, I earned <strong>$.30</strong> from Revver.com. This brings my all-time total up to $15.  This month, I should start to see more now that I&#8217;m producing more video.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for the full passive income report next week!</p>

<!--INFOLINKS_ON-->
<p><p>I started to get serious about <a href="http://geniustypes.com/passive_income/">passive income</a> a couple of years ago when I was introduced to the game <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002R5IKI/181-8956785-5900148?ie=UTF8&amp;redirect=true&amp;tag=geniustypesco-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0002R5IKI">Cashflow 101</a>.  </p>
<p>I played the game over and over until I internalized a new way of looking at creating income.  To this day, it&#8217;s my favorite board game and some of the best money I&#8217;ve ever spent.</p>
<p>In March, I made $898.98 from four different passive income sources.  This money is in addition to the income I make in my trade as a film producer.  Read <em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/a_roadmap_from_debt_to_living_your_passion/">A Roadmap From Debt to Living Your Passion</a></em> for my full strategy.</p>
<p>Some of my sources are more passive than others (as explained in <em><em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/how_passive_is_your_income/">How Passive is Your Income</a></em></em>), but each source has a strong residual component.  </p>
<p>Here are the four income streams in order of most income earned:</p>
<ol>
<li>$700.30 &#8211; Bulk Candy Vending</li>
<li>$ 96.67 &#8211; Blogging</li>
<li>$ 55.83 &#8211; Automated eBay Business</li>
<li>$ 46.18 &#8211; Network Marketing</li>
<li>$  0 &#8211; Rental Property
</li>
</ol>
<p><img src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/marchpassive.jpg" alt="passive income" /></p>
<p>There is a detailed article breaking down all of these sources on <em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/five_ways_to_create_passive_income_with_little_or_no_money/">Five Ways to Create Passive Income With Little or No Money</a></em>.</p>
<h3>Bulk Candy Vending &#8211; $700.30</h3>
<p>My vending business has always been my most reliable source of passive income.  I call it passive because it only takes two easy days a month to drive around and pick up my money.</p>
<p>I have a few unplaced machines in my kitchen for which I need to find homes. After they&#8217;re placed, I don&#8217;t have any desire to expand further.  My intention when starting this business was to create passive income, not to create a part-time job.  </p>
<p>You can read about the mechanics of my business in <em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/how_to_start_a_bulk_candy_vending_business_for_passive_income/">How to Start a Bulk Candy Vending Business for Passive Income</a></em>.</p>
<p>In March, I had 33 active locations in two cities: Los Angeles and Austin, TX.  The average income per location was $21.22, which is a 72% profit margin when accounting for the cost of candy.</p>
<h3>Blogging &#8211; $96.67</h3>
<p>Blogging is definitely the least passive of all my income streams, but unlike candy vending, it increases each month while the workload remains the same.</p>
<p>Plus, I really enjoy it, so it&#8217;s hard to call it &#8216;work&#8217;.</p>
<p>Read the <em><a href="http://geniustypes.com/monetization_report_march_2007/">March Monetization Report</a></em> for complete breakdown of my blogging income.</p>
<h3>Automated eBay Business &#8211; $55.83</h3>
<p>The newest addition to my income streams is an automated eBay business.  I found some products at wholesale that I can easily replace and set up some auctions.  Since I set up the initial auctions, everything has been automatic.  eBay re-lists them for me whenever one sells.</p>
<p>I hired my Mom to do the packing and shipping, so I can concentrate on building other income streams.</p>
<h3>Network Marketing &#8211; $46.18</h3>
<p>My most passive income source for March was <a href="http://geniustypes.com/network_marketing_for_passive_income/">network marketing</a>.  I earned $46.28 for work I did over six months ago.  I haven&#8217;t paid attention to the business lately because I have been devoting most of my time to the other three businesses, but I&#8217;d like to get back to it as soon as the dust settles.</p>
<h3>Rental Property &#8211; $0</h3>
<p>I have one rental property in Austin that basically breaks even in terms of cashflow.  I mention it because it&#8217;s making me money in less tangible ways.  Every month, the tenants pay down my mortgage a little and the property gains in value.   Also, the rental market in Austin is tightening and I&#8217;ll soon be able to demand more for rent.</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>All in all, I&#8217;m pretty happy with almost $1000 in passive income.  In the board game <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002R5IKI/181-8956785-5900148?ie=UTF8&amp;redirect=true&amp;tag=geniustypesco-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0002R5IKI">Cashflow 101</a>, the object is to collect enough passive income to cover your expenses.  In my real-life game, I&#8217;m well on my way!</p>

<p><p>Monetization of Genius Types is right on schedule. I&#8217;m happy with the amount of money I&#8217;m earning and especially the growth rate.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://geniustypes.com/find_your_blogs_compound_growth_rate/">compound monthly growth rate</a> of income earned on GeniusTypes.com in 2007 is <strong>24%</strong>.  If it continues to grow at this rate, Genius Types will earn over $1000 in March 2008.</p>
<h3>Six Months to $100</h3>
<p>I was reading a thread on Steve Pavlina&#8217;s Forum discussing the idea that it takes six months of good blog posts to achieve $100/month from Google AdSense.  Most of the other responses echoed the truth in this general rule of thumb.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/forums/business-financial/106-adsense-6-months-100-per-month.html#post549">Steve himself responded</a>, saying that he earned $53.02 in his fifth month, and $114.63 in his sixth.  Reading this validated my performance, since March was my fifth full month of blogging and I earned <strong>$74.46</strong> from AdSense.</p>
<h3>Total Income</h3>
<p>March&#8217;s total income was <strong>$96.97</strong>.</p>
<ul>
$74.46 from Google AdSense<br />
$10.00 from Text-Link Ads<br />
$10.00 from Tips<br />
$2.21 from Amazon Affiliate Commissions<br />
$.30 from Revver.com </ul>
<p>This was a 36% increase over February&#8217;s total of $71.25.  </p>
<p><img src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/marchincome.jpg" alt="March Income" /></p>
<h3>Google AdSense</h3>
<p>AdSense has been my most productive and reliable income source since the beginning.  Here is a breakdown of my AdSense revenue over the last five months:</p>
<p><img src="http://geniustypes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/marchadsense.jpg" alt="March AdSense Income" /></p>
<h3>Text-Link Ads</h3>
<p>In March, I sold my first Text-Link ad spot.  Thank you <a href="http://www.mortgagetv.com/">MortgageTv.com</a> for buying a link. </p>
<h3>Tips</h3>
<p>March was the second month in a row that I earned <strong>$10</strong> in <a href="http://geniustypes.com/leave_a_tip/">tips</a>.  Thank you Matthew Jabs of eJabs.com for your generous contribution and article.</p>
<h3>Amazon Affiliate Program</h3>
<p>I earned <strong>$2.21</strong> in March from Amazon.com book sale commissions.  I don&#8217;t know any blogger that is making much from Amazon, but I think it&#8217;s worth the value it provides to readers.</p>
<h3>Revver</h3>
<p>I only earned <strong>$.30</strong> from Revver.com this month. This brings my all-time total up to $14.70.  Almost all of this income is from the ads at the end of the videos in the article <a href="http://geniustypes.com/five_ways_to_create_passive_income_with_little_or_no_money/">Five Ways to Create Passive Income with Little or No Money</a>.</p>
<p>As I add more video content to this site, I&#8217;ll see this number rise.</p>
<p>Thank you to everyone for your support of Genius Types.  It&#8217;s exciting to see my hard work paying off by people finding value in my posts!</p>
