February Ad Revenue: $9,000+

Revisiting my goals I set back in September, I had stated my goal was to earn an average of $10,000 a month by September 2006. I have 7 months left.

This month of January, I almost hit that, raking in $8,311.40 from PFO in private ad sales, another $350 or so from affiliates, and $700 or so from MoVa. And I’m not counting site/domain sales – I actually received payment for DF in January, not December when I sold it, so if I counted that as well, my total income (not profit) for the month would be $23,000 (I paid $10,000 for the domain and invested around 500 into DF so 3500 is only profit). But really, I only count ad sales, so $9,000 is the correct number to display here.

So this is my best month ever – and this is obviously not a normal month; many advertisers renewed slots with the increased prices for 6 months or 12 months and so forth, so this is nowhere near the norm for me. Next month will probably be around $2000 I’m guessing, for example.

However, this still brings me hope that I’ll reach my goal of an average of $10,000 a month by September 2006. It would also be nice to break my PFO month record of $8,311.40 one day.. I’d really enjoy that…
