April 08 Earnings
May 2, 2008 – 3:17 pm
April Earnings came in at $284 so just $8 short of March, which has an extra day in it (well that's my excuse!). Cash in the bank (the real stuff not just virtual figures) has hit £603 which compared to last year's average (£127*4 = £508) is almost £100 improvement. We're averaging £150 a month at the moment which would give us £1800 for the end of the year. I'm hoping to go over £2k so hopefully the two major sites I've been working on all month will help towards increasing the average.
The past month I've been a bit quiet and a lot of my spare time has been taken up with tinkering with WP eCommerce for one of our sites that has over 100 products for sale on it. I've uploaded about 20, it's a bit time consuming! However once those are up and I've finished customising the code for the cart then that will be done for the time being. My other site is the plugin site which we're still working on getting some content on it, however we already know of one sale that'll be made (once I've written the plugin!) plus a yearly license for upgrades. This site, although not finished, is also eagerly awaiting the shopping cart system that Secure Delivery is about to unveil, so it'll be great to put that to the test too.
However, it's a bank holiday weekend here and I'm taking the weekend off (besides writing my article for BloggingTips) so hope you have a good one

Cheers. Sorry to hear about the drop in earnings, let's hope it's only temporary and things go back up for May

I dont see Google-Adwords or Amazon Ads on your page. Why is that? I think you could make more money with a bit more advertising on your screen estate.

@ zach, cheers and thanks for commenting
@ Musashi, I don't put ads on this site as there's no real point. Most people who come here already have AdSense accounts, know what it is and, like me, probably never click them. I use Amazon affiliate links in my posts if appropriate, and I have other affiliate links on the site to various services, but I don't want to clog my own site in adverts, unless they're for my own sites
