$1k Blog

Right, folks, I know I haven’t updated my blog for a while, sorry for that. I’ve been dealing with a bad case of a Spring allergy, which left me with a running nose, deep cough, Darth Vader-style breathing sounds and, most importantly, a burning sensations in my eyes that I get after spending more than 30 minutes in front of the monitor. With my eyes hurting so much, I tried to take it easy and stay away from the computer as much as possible, hence the delay in updates.

Anyway, insofar as residual income is concerned, I’ve earned a total of $220.06 so far, of which $122.10 came from selling Andrew Hansen’s Article Speedwriting course and the rest from Clickbank sales. In fact, April 9 was the best Clickbank day for me yet, with a total of $97.96 in sales! Unfortunately, so far, my affiliate sales are few and far in between, and I think I’d prefer lower but consistent income as opposed to income spikes followed by days of zero sales.

I currently have about 15 articles in circulation all in all - haven’t been able to write much more than that due to my eye problem. My niche blog is getting about 10 unique views a day, but I think that number will pick up by a lot once the last few articles I submitted get indexed by Google. I also made a mistake by attacking a single long-tail keyword with multiple articles, many of which went into supplementary results on Google, pretty much becoming a waste of time and effort, which helps explain why my daily visitor inflow in so low in spite of 15 articles in place to drive the traffic.

On a side note, my EZA submissions now get approved within a day, even less, in spite of my Basic Plus status. Yay!
