November 2007, Blog Income Report of JackBook.Com (37)
posted under make money online by JackBook
sponsored links
This is the first time I disclose this blog income report 
I started to monetize this blog on November so, here is the report of November revenue.
I have put and tried so many different advertising network on this site in a whole month, and I keep trying to find the best money maker program on the internet. So I think we can learn together here.
- Sponsored Reviews: $260.00
- Private Template Order: $150.00
- Paypopup.com: $6.11
- Widgetbucks: $29.85
- Chitika: $35.60
- TTZMedia: $7.95
- Donations: $20
- Grand Total: $430.00
Sponsored Reviews
I join into 4 reviews networks out there, they are reviewme, sponsoredreview, payperpost, and smorty. I have to admit that it is so hard to make money with this sponsored review. Especially on finding the advertisers, finding the right campaign.
On Payperpost, I have joined them about 3 months, and I still got nothing. All offer price I see there is all too low. the highest offer I can get there is $35, and that is about home decoration and furniture. How could I make a review on this site about those niche? So I declined them.
On Smorty, just like Payperpost, On Smorthy all the opportunities are all so cheap either. Almost everyday I received notification mail said that I got an offer to make a review for around $25. And as it is not worse enough, the campaign are also have nothing relevant with this site niche. Not even close.
I have never intended to put this site on a specific niche. I don’t want to set a border for this site, but home decoration? furniture? that’s the way too far. Can’t do it.
Better result is there on SponsoredReview, with them I can find campaign match to this site niche, make my own price, and I can send advertiser offer with my own price. If they like it, they’ll take it. On SponsoredReview I always set my price for at least $100 per review.
Also on ReviewMe, I set price for this site as much as $200 per review. That means I will receive $100 per review since Reviewme cut it 50%. Yeah they cut it too many I guess 
Private Template Order
About this private template order, I don’t know, some readers send me their email that the price is to expensive. $50 per blogger template?
I have to tell you that the main purpose I run this blog is to provide readers with all free beautiful blogger templates for all for free. Creating a private template for them takes my time to provide readers with free templates and services. Making a private template is really not my main purpose of running this site. That is why I set the price pretty high.
Why people keep ordering private template from me with this price?
As you know that I give you new template one per week. For some people, that is too long, So they order a special private template here. Well time is not the only factor actually, by ordering the template privately, they can keep the template private for them. So the design will be unique and they are the only one have it.
November I received 2 order of blogger template, and 1 order of wordpress theme. that means $150. Thanks guys for your support.
Paypopup.com - revenue in 5 days: $6.11
I had to remove paypopup from the site because I felt that they annoy my readers so much on reading this site. So now I can provide readers with a better experience on reading this site.
Widgetbucks - revenue in 10 days: $29.85
It is not pure of widgetbucks revenue actually, but it is $25 bonus for signing up as their new publishers, and $2.4 referral commission, and the rest is the ppc revenue.
I removed Widgetbucks from this site because the CTR is too low. for about 4,000+ page views a day, I got only 2 or 3 clicks everyday. that sucks!
I temporary remove widgetbucks widget from this site, fortunately they have announced that they are going to pay us with their CPM program. So if let’s say we can earn about $4 per thousand impressions as they promised, then with more then 4k pageviews everyday, this site should be able to make about $16/day. that is $480 per month. Just let’s see how is it going on early of this month. If you are not joined them yet, then you can join them here, and be my affiliate and try to make money with me.
Chitika - revenue $35.60 per 15 days.
I put Chitika ads on this site for about 15 days, and I removed it because that time I managed to re-design this blog, but then, that I have so many work to do, I got so busy so I have no time to create the new design. Now I put Chitika back.
I don’t put Chitika revenue on the accounting because they haven’t pay me yet since it hasn’t reach the minimum payment of $50.
I think Chitika is one of the best money maker program on the Internet I have tried so far. If you are going to monetize your blog, and I definitely recommend you to join them as their publishers. You can join them here if you want to be my affiliate.
TTZMedia - revenue $7.95 per 15 days
I temporary remove TTZMedia ads from this site because I am still focusing to the other ads. That is probably what makes TTZmedia revenue low. I believe if I optimizing their ads, it will gives me a better revenue.
One thing for sure is that TTZMedia pay so much better then Google Adsense. I can make sure of that. Want to give TTZMedia a try your self?
I created the Buy my son a milk about first week of November. I have really never expected too much about it actually, But It does work. Thanks to Robin Malau from Entrepreneuriality Elements.
Entrepreneuriality Elements is a blog for those who want to get out from seriously serious entrepreneurialities while surfing the internet. I love reading their posts since their posts are all about anything funny and cheering. I even subscribe to their blog to read it easier. I must say that typing “entrepreneuriality.com” is really not easy for me
Grand Total: $430.00
Well I guess this is not bad for it’s first month. I hope I can make it steady on this level, or even pushing it up. Let’s see if we can make more then $500 next month. subscribe to my feed to learn with me about making money with blog.

Whoa, i think your income is better than John Chow’s first month of monetizing his blog.
Anyway, thanks for the mention.
“I must say that typing “entrepreneuriality.com” is really not easy for me”
I did realize it soon after i purchase the domain lol. It’s easier to subscribe then :-P, i think i’d better mention that to my blog visitors.
Thanks again. I believe it would be more to come to you, all the best of luck Jack. Hope you can make it as a full time Blogger sooner so you can help out bloggers more and add value to the blogosphere!
wow and now you compare it with john chow first earning? Of course he is better then me. I have a higher earning just because that i have a private template order service. if only John had that, i am sure he’d have higher earning then me
thanks Low
That’s not bad at all! And thanks for this post, it really help me to set my expectations and on what works best.
What? You can’t write about decoration? Come on…
I don’t want to do Pay Per Post since my blog is really personal. I’m currently experimenting with ads, but I have no luck with Adsense so far… I guess I should put ads in the post, but I can’t bring myself to. I love my template the way it is… I’m hope the Adsense I put below each post get some clicks.
I also signed up with Project Wonderful (someone recommended it to me) - I have to set it up but their website doesn’t look right tonight. I’ll do it another time.
Finally, I also use Text Link Ad, I sold one link last month… at least I got paid.
I also take donations and that’s my main bog income so far!
Good luck Jack, you’re very talented with template. I wish you all the best!
And people, I can testify he’s great - he really helped me with my template - so don’t hesitate!
thanks for your last lines Zhu
I can’t write about decoration here on this JackBook.Com
I will create a sponsored review only if the content has something valuable to the readers.
what value i can give to you readers with that kind of post?
Thank you Jack, this post made me realize the chances to earn with my blog and gave a clear idea on what to expect. Keep up the good work and your loyal readers will always be here.
I stumbled this.
congratulations jack! keep it up and up..
I bet you can earn more than $500 next month..
Amen
Hi, jackbook. Although I visit your website regularly for new blogspot templates, this is the first time I am placing comment on your blog.
Actually I have configured some of your gorgeous blogspot templates with hack.
Nice post jack. But why don’t you use adsense ? I also dont like adsense. You also started cpx interactive right? I think best way is to use text link ads. But problem is google panalyzing for selling links..
adsense ctr is too low, TTZmedia is even so much better then adsense. if later i have to put another ppc ad on this blog, then adsense would be my last option
thanks Mushfiq
nice stats man, best of luck for next month
Excellent numbers
Congratulation. I got a very bad experiences on my first so-called sponsored post with ppp. They said I broke their ToS or something. I don’t mind if they don’t wanna pay me on something that I’ve done wrong, but to tell me about it three weeks later was uncalled for. Why three long weeks?
If I’ve known about it earlier, I would have pull down that post right then and there. Why should I gave them free advertising space for three weeks? Now that Google on a war-path slapping blogs with ppp link.
No doubt they’re one of the best. Their banners are still up and flying on My Journey To Recovery, and maybe I shall take one of the opportunities. But not now. What did Rod Stewart say in his song? Yeah, First Cut Is The Deepest, and I’m still having nightmares. Maybe later.
Greetings and lotta loves from Malaysia.
Damn $50 for template us good money, mate.
Have you ever looked at the concreteloop.com template?
It’s a good one in my opinion, yet I seem to have seen it before; maybe here.
Thanks for sharing.
I have signed up for Chitika.
Cheers
jack,
what is your adsense earning for a month? averagely i mean..
i also join sponsoredreview.com
for now, i write only 10reviews…
and they paid me just about $100+ only…
damn…
i love adsense much than any other making money program …
Hello! I seemed really interesting, his report
Any alternative that you mention is valid for
South America?
thanks
sorry, but what were you trying to say with “Any alternative that you mention is valid for South America?”
all those ad network available on any country right?
imw, thanks
paid to blog programs?
really?
are you not afraid of google slap?
me i’m not that’s why i’m using them
(why make a personal blog, so that the next time you can grab each and every opportunity)
paid to blog?
i make a review for products that i think it has something useful for my readers. and i make a review with my own opinion. it could be a complement, suggestions, or even constructive critics.
i don’t do paid to blog
thanks
Yes, that was my question
and yes, that’s my answer
all of those money maker program i mentioned on the post are available on any country.
the problem propably is the payment, not the program it self.
some program do the payment via paypal, which not evey country accepted to use paypal.
but i think, south america should be no problem right?
ok, its clear now!
thanks for this post, it really help me to set my expectations.
Thank you for your answers
Hi Jack,
Those get paid to blog programs probably won’t work for your niche. You probably already have done this but what monetizing elements are others in your niche doing?
Still, the money you quoted making for the first month is excellent and would seem to indicate you should do more of whatever made you that money.
As far as people saying your prices are too high, well they don’t have to buy from you then do they? A simple google search pulls up plenty of free templates, and you yourself say you offer a new, free template each week.
If they don’t choose to wait then they can darn well pay your fee!
Just my two cents.
Congratulations. My next step will be to buy a domain name and hosting. With my own domain name and WordPress template, I hope I can earn more. Thanks for the inspirations, Jack. May God bless you.
that’s not bad at all. compared to most of us.
patience is a virtue.
gratz and cheers!
good job
I’m curious about TTZMedia. How does the ads look like? Is it like Chitika?
