Every month I make a public blog post about my online earnings for that month. Let me start off by saying that these income posts are not meant to be bragging in anyway. The purpose of them is so that I can be completely transparent and help you make money blogging. My goal is to show you that there is a lot of money to be made indirectly from your blog, whether it is from career offers, consulting jobs, marketing your other websites through your blog, or using your blog as a launch platform for your startup websites. Something I did not learn until I started blogging for awhile (but I wish I had learned far earlier), is that being an authority about a topic that you enjoy will earn you money from sources outside of your blog. Blogging has helped me network with hundreds of webmasters, and has landed me my highest paying jobs. Before I started blogging, I did lots of search engine optimization, link building, and viral marketing for my own sites, but had no idea that I could do that for other people and make a living from it. If I had not started this blog and shared my secret link building strategies with my readers, my current clients would have never known I was an authority at viral marketing/link building. All in all, lets move onto what everyone is waiting for — my online income report!

It has been awhile since my last Adtoll Update, but I thought I would write this post for the people who are very interested in trying it, but are still waiting for that last clincher. Well, as of today Adtoll is giving every new customer a free $20 in advertising credit.

Just what can $20 get you? A lot more than you would actually think… Sign up to Adtoll today and you can spend your $20 to advertise on my blog completely free. You can get your 125×125 advertisement for THREE MONTHS completely free, and an entire month of my premium banner spot at the top! If you were considering trying out different ways to monetize your blog, now would be the time.

Over the last few days, I have seen many people selling the “secret location” where you can get free PR9 .edu links. The threads on the DigitalPoint forums have had tons of sales ($50 each), and with such a high price you can be sure that people searched every nook and cranny to find if it was legit. Just by using a lot of free “questions” that were brought up in the thread, I did a little research. People in the forum thread were complaining that the site was running SSL (httpS://), stopping the search engines from viewing it.

I would just like to announce that the publisher of Create The Dream Magazine was kind enough to become a long term sponsor for the weekly winner contest. In addition to the $25 that I give away every week, you can earn a free yearly subscription to the magazine (valued at $24). This means that the contest prize nearly doubled yet it still has the same easy rules to enter. Create The Dream is going to be sponsoring the next four winners with a yearly subscription, and if things go well for them they will continue to sponsor additional winners as well.
