Introduction

To start off this month’s online business picture, I want to explain why I do this.  If you’re new to the blog, you might wonder why I’m talking about blogging on a blog about financial topics.  Well, my view is that creating secondary income sources is the most impactful thing you can do for your finances.  Furthermore, creating online income is probably the easiest and lowest risk opportunity for you to create another income stream.  This report is my monthly update on this journey.

As you can tell if you continue reading, I’m now bringing in over $1,000 $1,500 in extra income every single month because of my various web sites.  This is my goal, and my continuing goal is to increase this monthly income as I move forward.  If you’re interested in starting a similar journey, I have plenty of information here on this blog to help you launch.  To start, check out the information on the Online Income page.

20smoney.com

20smoney.com is the core piece of my overall online business.  It is the first website that I launched, and has generates most of the online revenue.  The success of this site has allowed me to ramp up additional sites.

20smoney, overall, had a good month – a slight bump in traffic coupled with some good sponsored post revenue and the usual advertising revenue.

Web Property #2

My second web property is a site that can be catagorized as a niche site – a niche site attempts to utilize SEO for various keywords and generate traffic and revenue.  This web property was launched in January of 2010.

Revenue

September 2010: $230.00
October 2010: $205.00

Web Property #3 & 4

Additionally, I have two sites that are similar to web property #2.  I will call these #3 and #4 – currently, they are still in the ramp up phase and have negligible traffic and no revenue.  These two sites were launched in June 2010 and August 2010.

Revenue

October 2010: N/A

Saturday Down South

You may have heard me discuss SaturdayDownSouth.com which is one of my main projects now.  It is a site all about college football, and the success in a few short months has been huge.  We had 108,000 visits in October and November will be even more.  I will continue to update you on the progress with this site.

Currently, there is only some small revenue generated from Adsense, but there is big opportunity here.  The end game here is a potential buyout from a major media company – I’ll continue to document our team’s progress, but I probably won’t be doing any details on the revenue for the site.

Additional Opportunities

If this traffic and income report inspires you to get started, I want to be a part of it.  There are many benefits to partnering with bloggers – especially bloggers with established blogs that have consistent traffic and are earning money.  If you have any questions or are looking for some help, let me know – contact me.
