ruthie — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 17:47:43 +0000

Not much to report other than what I made for the month of September. As you can see, I’ve had a record month! So I’m very excited about that. Still haven’t had any time to dedicate on the stores. I have some ideas for new stores, and I would like to get them up and going before the holiday season. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get back into the swing of things over the next couple of weeks. With that, here’s my earnings for September, and I’m also including a year-to-date total as well.

August 2008 Income Report

ruthie — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 16:36:58 +0000

Sorry this is such a belated update. Some dude by the name of Gustav decided to wreck havoc on my life for a few days. Income is down this month. Probably due to the fact that I’ve had a lot of drama going on in my house lately. The hurricane situation, a possible move, etc. I haven’t spent ANY time on my BANS stores lately. So they are kind of running themselves right now. Nothing new to report, no new stores created. My husband is starting a new job in a couple of weeks, which is why we are moving, so I will be busy with that. When things get settled down a bit, I’m going to try to get back into my BANS stores and dedicate more time to them. Until then, here’s my earnings for the month of August:

BANS Stores Earnings for August 2008

Ebay Partner Network - $42.00

Google Adsense - $6.68

Total Earnings for August 2008 - $48.68

In honor of my husband’s geeky addiction to all things Star Wars, I decided to create a Star Wars related BANS store. So here it is, Star Wars Vintage Toys. He’s also agreed to start blogging about it, so check that out too!

July 2008 Income Report

ruthie — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 00:58:00 +0000

I had a great month! Both my BANS and Adsense earnings were up. I made most of my earnings from 2 guitar sales through my Do It Yourself Guitars store. One was over $1200 and the other over $1500, but after that, earnings flatlined. I’m still happy with it though. Like I’ve said before, as long as the income is increasing, I’m satisfied.

BANS Stores Earnings for July 2008

Ebay Partner Network - $77.69

Google Adsense - $12.23

Total Earnings for July 2008 - $89.92

My BANS Earnings Are Finally Picking Up

ruthie — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 05:27:24 +0000

Today I logged into EPN, and low and behold, I had over $45 in my account! Yesterday, someone purchased a $1700 Gibson BB King Lucille guitar via my Do It Yourself Guitars BANS store. Needless to say, I was VERY pleased. That winning bid alone, yielded a $26 return. Very nice. If only I had more of those. But realisitically, that site has been my major money maker so far. And it is definitely the one that I’ve spent the most time optimizing. Still no major promotion yet, although, I did submit my very first article to EZine Articles the other day. So hopefully, that will bring some traffic my way. As soon as I get my older two kids back school, starting August 7th, I’ll be able to dedicate more time to my BANS sites.

Off To A Slow Start

ruthie — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 02:44:40 +0000

From what I understand, and since I’m new to affiliate marketing, I found out that it’s called the “Summer Slowdown”. And I’m definitely feeling it. Haven’t had a single sale until I checked today and found $4.53 in my EPN account. I’m really hoping things get better before the end of the month. I’ve created a new BANS store. I have a really good feeling about the niche. We’ll see how it does.

ruthie — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 23:24:00 +0000

OMG!! I’ve had a great month! In my last post I mentioned that I had already made $37 through EPN, which to date was the most I’ve ever made with any of my BANS stores. Well…after that…the sales just came to a halt, until today I looked at my EPN reports and I had an ACRU for $25!! Needless to say, I was very pleased. Here’s what my report looks like for the month of June:

BANS Stores Earnings for June 2008

Ebay Partner Network - $62.64

Google Adsense - $4.36

Total Earnings for June 2008 - $67.00

I’d say pretty darn good for this month, huh? As long as I keep moving on up, I’m satisfied.

My Newest BANS Store Might Just Be My Ticket!!

ruthie — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 20:12:54 +0000

I mentioned earlier that I created a BANS store about a month ago, that I’ve decided to keep undisclosed. I told myself, I would never do this, but I’ve seen first hand what can happen when someone talks about their niche. All of a sudden there are BANS stores popping up with the same niche and you have yourself quite a bit of competition.

But what I would like to share, is that my store pulled in a couple of pretty large sales the other day. Last night I logged in to my EPN account, and I was surprised to see over $37 in my account. My new BANS store had pulled in a $525 sale and a $225, in which I earned a little over $28. That’s my largest earnings so far. So, needless to say, I am definitely very encouraged by this.

My EPN Earnings Month to Date

ruthie — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 01:10:09 +0000

This is a screenshot of my EPN earnings month to date. Of course, click to view larger image. I’ve had quite a boost in earnings over the past few days. All due to earnings from one of my disclosed niche stores, Do It Yourself Guitars and a undisclosed niche store that I set up less than a month ago. I’ve recently revamped my DIYG BANS store, adding some more content, a new design and more affiliate links. I’ve definitely had a boost in traffic, not sure if the recent changes are why, but I’ll take it. I do have a new BANS store that I don’t mind disclosing, Textbook Heaven. I haven’t done anything with it, but as you can see it has already made .44 this month. I’m working on the design right now and should have a screenshot of it within the next few days. I would love some feedback on this report. Does it look like good growth to you guys?? Since I’m so new to this, I could really use some feedback.
