Belated April Earnings

A bit belated I know but the past week has been spent waiting for a new laptop to arrive (which has and I must say it is sweeeet!), spending time with my parents and turning 30. So now that's all out of the way things will be back to normal. With work going a lot quieter too now I'm starting to manage my time better, to spend at least one day a week working on AIS stuff, and hopefully get sites finished off, updated and new sites set up and finally use all of the domains I keep paying for!

During April I did no AIS work whatsoever however earnings were still around the $200 mark - true AIS! Our AdSense has increased again due to almost doubling our visitors on our Tattoo site. We lost a couple of Text Link Ad advertisers but gained a couple more who are paying more per month, which is good.

My motivation is finally coming back for AIS work now. Probably obvious but since Christmas I had the occassional 'spurt' but just didn't do much. My own business has gotten in the way which needs to take priority. However with consistent good incomes (well good compared to last years average!) it's clear that if I can get more sites sorted, if work gets busy again, at least I know I can leave the sites and they'll continue making money. I'm on the brink of a few payouts and we should be hitting £1500 in our AIS savings account soon. Despite saying it would be used to pay for the new car, we're actually intending to use it for our 2-3 week to Italy in the autumn. It's great to know we probably won't have to pay out much ourselves and can cover accommodation and petrol (as we're driving out there), and probably some meals too.

So this month it's time to start planning and setting myself some goals to make sure I get things done. I'll get back to documenting the work and then we can see if it pays off!

    There is _nothing_ better than seeing an income being earned for what amounts to rellay very little work.

    Well, possibly there is one thing better - seeing something bought with those earnings! Like a holiday to Italy. Nice one.

    Perhaps those readers of yours who see no value in AIS will be able to kick themselves up the arse.

    Hey Burty, well it's your motivation that keeps a lot of us going and at least gives me food for thought (so thank you! :D)

    Yes it's great that AIS does work. I think we've made around £500 this year and I've barely done anything. I can certainly say, AIS works!!

    Well done on pulling in the £'s.
