For those of you who have been reading my blog for less than a month, I make my online income report post once a month about my online earnings. These income posts are never meant to be for bragging purposes, but rather so that I can be completely transparent about what I earn online, so that years down the road I can show everyone my journey to wealth and how much hard work and dedication it involves, contrary to what many ebook sellers tell you. By being completely transparent about what I earn online also allows me to show you my biggest mistakes, and what I have learned from the most. The more mistakes I have, the more I learn from, and the more I show you how to avoid. My monthly online income reports are a summary of where I made my money, and where I lost my money.

Conclusion
This month was a bit different than usual, mainly due to the fact that I was in Nebraska competing on the Top Affiliate Challenge and didn’t come home until the 15th. It also added a difference to this months earnings because everything my team and I earned while in Nebraska doesn’t get added because I didn’t take first in the competition, so that throws an extra $3800 revenue out the door for me personally. These numbers are after I got rid of all Top Affiliate Challenge earnings and expenses, as the numbers above are from my personal campaigns.

While I kicked butt with MarketLeverage this month, I didn’t actually make that much since as you can see my adwords expenses were also through the roof. I actually ended up a bit in the red from my at-home campaigns after TAC, so I need to continually work on that.

My goals for August are to get everything in place and hopefully get my ppc/contextual campaigns profitable and on autopilot by August 31st when I head out to start my first year of college. While I am not making as much as I had hoped by this late in the year, my college expenses are only about $1000 per month and I am blowing that out of the water every year, so at the very least I have four years of pure profit ahead of me, in addition to everything that I have already earned.

Since college will be my biggest expense and I have that more than taken care of, I am going to be investing in buying sites that earn residual money every month since most of my income this year has been from buying and selling sites. I want to move towards sites that earn a little bit every month on autopilot. If you have any residual earning sites that you are looking at selling, shoot me an email.

I also have two startup ideas that I am going to be giving the green-light to be coded. One is almost finished although I just picked up a partner on it and my partner is a professional designer and programmer so he will be spicing things up for the site. When the site is ready to launch my blog readers will get a heads up to build their referrals on the site before the rest of the web gets their chance. Stay tuned!

How did you do this month?
