Earned USD$200 for Selling Ad Space

Managed to earn USD$200 today when an existing client decided to renew the ads on my blogs that were due for expiry.  While it was a drop from the last year's USD$250, it is still significant enough to make me happy to know that it is actually possible to monetize my blogs when I am using a completely free blogging tool and domain.

Have also been wondering whether I should start to put more focus on selling ad space which I have not been bothered to at all in the past.

Pagerank 1-3 sites available with little outbound links.  Price and package is negotiable.

USD250 from Online Ads

I managed to sell some ad space at two of my sites for a whopping total of $250 per year. This is my first sales ever of online ad space. I did not find the advertiser but rather the advertiser found me.

After some haggling over the price ( I asked for $240 for the first site. This was bargained down to $150. I offered the 2nd site at $150 and this was bargained down to $100) So that is how the $250 sum came about.

The ad space was just a small one as it was mainly a text ad of less than 20 words.

Perhaps this is a start to me diversifying away from Adsense.

As a tip to bloggers out there, make sure you have a price list ready just in case advertisers start knocking on your door and you have no idea what is the "correct" price to ask for.

Profitable Blogshops

Lately I have been toying with the idea of turning some of my blogs into .......blogshops!

Ha..how innovative can I get?

But really, I have heard countless stories of how some school going kids are using their blogs for profitable purposes. And I was just wondering whether it was time for me to move away from my normal adsense revenue and explore other more innovative way of making money online.

After all, if the kids can do it, why not me?

I guess all I need is something to sell now.

PayCheck from Adsense

I received another cheque from Adsense one week back. Have not found the time to bank it in yet. Cannot remember whether this is the 4th or 5th cheque that I have received. Guess I am losing count and that is good.

I guess the first cheque that I received was special because it made me realise that I can actually do the impossible - Make Money Online!

The 2nd cheque confirmed that the first cheque was not a fluke.

The 3rd and subsequent cheques actually are very much a non-event. I hardly felt much excitement as I sort of expected the cheques to come.

I guess this is what they mean by passive income?
