Adsense cash flow was pretty steady for the month of February, with income at around $3.85. Not too bad, considering there has been zero marketing done with any of my blog sites, other than an occasional Entrecard plug. It is certainly not great either. For these sites, I have been relying solely on search engine hits. So far for the month of March, I am on track to make about the same amount as February's result.
Last month, I did devote considerable more time to writing for Associated Content. I made about $70 of of 20 or so articles. The cash return for Associated Content is not bad considering you do not have to spend any time at all marketing your site. The visitor's just come and you get paid.

January Numbers
I took a short break from blogging. To be honest, I have not stopped searching for ways to make money blogging, just trying a few different things. One was through trying Associated Content. This sort of a pay for blogging site that concentrates a little more on the news side of things. I'll have more on that in a later post.
I have been a little discouraged by the numbers (aka Money!) coming in via Adsense. I know it has only been a few months, and I always talk about persevering and setting goals, but it has been tough to keep motivated.
I guess I am at the point where all make money bloggers reach, and quit! However, I do not plan on quitting just yet. I made numerous posts through the first half of January to my various blog sites. However, my numbers consider to decline in terms of money with Google Adsense.
My hits have also declined a bit as well. Not sure why this may be happening, but I will get back in track and keep at it.
By the way, here is the money I made for January: $3.62
Down a bit from the $4.00 I made in December. I made tons more money on Associated Content. More on that later.

Income Reports for November and December
I have set up about 7 blogger type blogs, and also have my own hosted website that I have placed Adsense and Project Wonderful advertising on. I also have a couple of more blogs set up that are getting ready to be monetized once I have a few more posts, and they have aged a bit.
At the start of the month, I was on fire, posting nearly every day on the blogs, but have tailed off a little towards the end of the month. Holidays. They mess everything up. But supposedly the News Years Resolution is supposed to correct all of that. Right.
I think that the holidays may also have lead to less net surfing, as everyone was out buying their last minute gifts. I have noticed that Internet traffic to my sites are on the decline, despite my efforts to add more content. Revenue is down, and the earnings per visit are also down.
Another possibility could be that this is a sure sign that the economy is taking a downturn. Less money is being spent on advertising. It it tough to gauge whether my measly income that I earn from these blogs would be a good indicator of advertising dollars spent, but I take it as sort of a bad sign.
I made $5.84 in November on Adsense, and in December this value dropped down to $4.60. On ProjectWonderful I got about the same numbers. I earned about $0.10 in November, but this value has dropped down to around $0.05 per day. It seems that there is something going on, and I will keep an eye on this trend.
I am hoping that it is just a holiday blip and things will move upwards from here as I continue to add content and think of more ways to generate income.
Still have not decided if I will try PayPerPost or Smorty yet. I may go for it on a couple of sites once they have reached maturity. They generally need 20 posts and need to be greater than 90 days old, and I have not reached that criteria yet on any of my blogs except for one, and I would like to keep that one PPP free, as it gets good search results.

One Honest Money Making Blogger
There are a lot of money making bloggers out there that make up numbers to show how rich they are becoming by blogging. The truth is that most of them are full of it, and the ones that do actually get big incomes, spend nearly as much promoting there site, or paying others to promote their site.
This is going to be a no BS money making blog. I will not make stuff up, and you will get the straight and honest numbers. There will be some experimentation involved, and I will tell you what is working for me, and what is not. I have little experience at this, other than what I have read and learned from others.
My main technique for making money on the Internet will be through blog farming. I will create a bunch of blogs centered on several keywords, to increase their Google page rank, and hopefully derive revenue through the search engines. I will spend no money hosting sites, and will do it all through free blog services like blogger, and its derivatives.
At a few of these sites, most likely maybe only this money making blog, I will do a little more promotion and possibly paid review and postings. I have not decided yet if I should do this for this money making blog. If things are going badly, or possibly as a little experiment, I will take this aspect on.
I will spend just a dollars per month using Project Wonderful, but that is it. Only what I make through Project Wonderful will be eligible for being spent on advertising. To give you an idea of the numbers so far, I make about $0.10 a day from Project Wonderful. Thus,I will spend about $0.10 a day. Yep, that is just 10 stinking pennies. I will be adding a few more blogs to my Project Wonderful account in the near future, so I expect those numbers to come up.
All other revenue will come through the Google Adsense program, unless something bad happens and I am banned. This has happened to some in the past. So far this of month of December, I have made a few dollars of income. It is up considerable from what I made last month. Each month I am going to try to improve my income. I will officially start posting income reports beginning near the beginning of each month. Since there really was not anything for November, I wont bother. It was a little over $5 if you really want to know.
There are many different methods one could use to attract web traffic and keep them coming back. I am not worried so much about drawing an avid readership on any of my blogs, but if you keep coming back then THANKS!
I have a core group of about 10 blogs set up, some are more mature than others, and the stragglers will catch up soon. Just got to keep posting and plugging away.

Set Goals to Make Money Blogging
When you start something new, you want to have a feeling of accomplishment. The best way to do this is to set a goal for yourself. The best way to do this is simple: Write the goal down. It may sound complicated but it really is simple. Come up with and idea, think of how that idea can be brought to life, and then right down what you want to accomplish.
The idea for this little venture had very simple beginnings. I recalled all all those depression era articles that I read that explained how people work a little on the side to make money. I knew that I was not going to sell eggs or take in boarders, or paint houses on as an extra business. I needed to do something that did not take a whole lot of time, was fairly easy, and most importantly: ACHIEVABLE.
When you achieve at something you gain confidence. You also get motivated to take it to the next level to accomplish more.
The number one way to put you idea in motion is to write it down, and then write down the goal on a piece of paper and post it something that you will see every single day. This can be something that is just a sentence or two long. But it should be visible to you every single day.
For my make money online venture, I have a simple idea: Use blogging to make a little extra cash with multiple blogs, centered around keywords.
The goal is simple: Make $1 a day on these blogs.
Next you need to take your idea and goal and WRITE IT DOWN. Put it on a sticky pad next to your mirror in your bathroom. You will see it every day and you will be reminded that you need to do something that is important that day! Achieve your goal! Writing it down almost guarantees success. If you do not write it down you will forget about it in a week, and never achieve that goal.
This may not seem like a lot of money, actually it is a pittance and will make no difference in my income, as I already have a high paying job. But it is something that is achievable. Once I reach that goal, I can move on to the next level, say $5 a day, then $10 a day, etc. There is nothing wrong with updating your goal. Just make sure it is expanding, not contracting.
I already am about halfway to my goal. Through Adsense I am pulling in about $0.50 a day in visits and clickthroughs. This is just with a few blogs and posts, using Entrcard and BlogCatalog to promote. Soon, I will be ready to move on to the next level.
