How I Have Made Money Online In 2006
December 30th, 2006 at 5:09 pm
Time for a year-end wrap for 2006 which also happened to be the best year ever for me so far. I’m not going into exact revenue figures but just point out the programs which worked for me. Note that I received cheques from all programs below.
1. AdSense
AdSense is is probably the most steady aspect of my online income. A little more than 65% of my revenue comes from Google AdSense. The figures have doubled from the beginning of the year.
2. Affiliate programs
Have I ever mentioned how much I love affiliate programs? Although I’m barely averaging a three figure affiliate income each month, the trend is definitely up and I hope I kept at it in the next year.
3. Text Link Ads
Selling text link ads through TLA network has become a very important revenue making model for my blogs in the last couple of months in the year 2006.
4. Review Me
I wrote 4 reviews for Review Me during the last month and did get a decent amount of money for them. I wish the trend will continue and Review Me will become a steady online making money option for me.
5. Chitika
I’m still using Chitika but it doesn’t bring much money in so I’m considering leaving the program in 2007.
