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.

The weekly winner contest is an ongoing contest that I run here on my blog. Every week, I give away $25 as well as free donated prizes to a different person inside the raffle. If you would like to enter for a chance to win $25 and donated prizes every week please read the official contest post about the weekly winner contest.

My congratulations go to jleblanc because he was this weeks random winner of $25. You can read his blog entry here. Please contact me via the contact form at the top and I will send you the money and bonus prize.

The following is a paid review and is my complete and honest opinion. If you would like your own paid review on my blog please visit the advertise page.

I was too busy yesterday talking about my experiment with Adtoll to realize that I should have announced the next weekly winner! Normally I give away $25 every week but today I will throw in an extra $5.

In the expanding journey to make money blogging, I have decided I would experiment around a bit on my blog to see the different ways on how I can diversify my earnings and maximize my income. The make money blogging topic does not have a lot of high paying keywords like a lawyer, debt, or bankruptcy blog would. This means that clicks on my Google Adsense would earn me less money than if it were a debt blog and the click was to a “get out of debt” ad. meaning it is a lot harder for this blog to make money with Google Adsense than it would be for different blogs. To counter this problem, I am now experimenting with a new advertising agency called Adtoll.

It is the first of the month, which means I will post my income earnings from my blog for last month. I have since changed the main topic of my blog to make money blogging, so I choose to publicly disclose all of my income totals every month so that after my blog is at least a year old we can all look back to see the growth. I will begin with my blog statistics and then move into my January blog earnings.

After sponsoring two contests earlier which yielded successful results, I am ready to run my own. Rather than running the occasional type of blog contest, I wanted to change things up a bit. I want to have a lot of winners rather than just one. I have developed a way to promote my blog while giving away money every week.
