The month of August meant more to me than just the sad anniversary of my beloved pet dog passing away three years ago, it also marked the first full month that I had decided to take this blogging lark from a part-time hobby and turn it into a full-time job.

I did not fully achieve this, I took pretty much every Friday, Saturday and Sunday off and I would often take days off during the week. Actually I did pretty much nothing for the last four or five days of August.

This is 100% my own fault though and something that I must address immediately if I am to make a serious go of this. I really don’t want to have to go back to an offline 9-5 job any time soon!

Page Impressions & Visitor Count

The unique visitor count for August stands at 1,064, which is a nice increase of 329 from the month of July.

The page impression count for August stands at 2,289, which is a massive increase of 711 from the month of July.

This means that each unique visitor looked at 2.15 pages.

I think this has to be the highest monthly traffic count I have ever received. I am not going to count back when I was using the StatTraq plugin because they would count admin clicks, robots and web spiders.

Adbrite = $0.45 (-$0.48)
AdsDaq = $0.62 (+$0.09)
Adsense = $1.88 (-$0.99)
Adtoll = $0.00 (+/-$0.00)

Passive Income = $2.09 (new)
Private Ad = $60.00 (new)

TLA = $6.66 (-$3.34)
UnderDog = $0.11 (-$0.07)

Total = $319.21 (+$25.27)

- Infolinks has had to be removed from this blog because it was accepted into the PayU2Blog network and they refuse to work with blogs who have in-line ads. I’ll make much more money with PayU2Blog.

- I have not added the money I earned from Twitter because more than a couple of them have locked publishers out of their accounts without explanations.

- I have added a new income stream this month, it is called passive income. I will write a proper post about this soon, but what it is in a nutshell is a way of earning money by submitting your articles to article sites and getting paid every time someone visits one.

The month of July has been something of a landmark for me. Not just about the amount that I earnt, or the amount of traffic I managed to attract, it was the first month that I decided to devote all my time and energy to this blog, making it a full time job.

What a very scary prospect that is. No offline job to fall back on, no other means of support, just me and this blog. And you know what? I am looking forward to this difficult challenge and am ready to take it on!

Page Impressions & Visitor Count

The unique visitor count for July stands at 711, which is a great increase of 312 from the month of June.

The page impression count for July stands at 1.578, which is a massive increase of 905 from the month of June.

This means that each unique visitor looked at 2.22 pages.

I am really pleased with the traffic for this month and as I find my feet I feel this will sky rocket very soon. I would say that the reason my traffic has spiked is the increased participation in blog commenting and reposting old posts on Twitter.

- Kontera is slowly being fazed out from all my blogs and is being replaced with Infolink (hence the increased amount I earnt this month).

- I have started heavily using Twitter to make money and considering it is my first month I am pleased with the start I have made.

After the great leap forward that I made in May I was so sure that June would be even more profitiable. Sadly there is one thing that will kill an effort to make money online, apart from laziness, and that is being in the early stages of love.
