A Look Back at 2007

This is the first post of 2008. Wow, it seems like only yesterday that we started 2007. Time seems to go faster every day.

Looking back at 2007 I learned many things and made plenty of mistakes.

My AdWords spend for 2007 was $1,616 from all sites and blogs I own including the ones not counted as part of the One Penny Project.

Total AdSense income from free blogs was $207.71 and $847.95 from my hosted sites. Again including blogs that are not part of the one penny project. $207 is a fair amount of money from free blogs. Hopefully in 2008 I will bring this up to $1000 or more.

ClickBank income was $470.81 from all sites and blogs I own. This amount is much lower then I would like, but not bad. My goal for 2008 is to increase this to $2000 or more.

Income from ShareASale was 321.93 from all sites and blogs. This was mostly from 2 network offers. I may do some direct promotion of ShareASale offers in 2008.

MaxBounty accounted for $389.15 of my income for 2007. The offer I was promoting that generated most of that income is no longer on their network. If I had the time I would probably promote more MaxBounty offers.

PayPerPost brought in $220.36 from paid posts. While this is more then my AdSense income it was also much more work.

To round out income I sold a bunch of ebooks that I wrote myself. This by far is my biggest earner for 2007. As for how much income that was, I'm not telling. Sorry some things are private.

Other then some advertising expenses I paid $35 a month for a shared server, $20 a month for Aweber, and $30 a month for Wealthy Affiliate. That comes to about $780 not including the advertising.

Working towards my goal of $200 a day in 2008.

Please may I ask a stupid question, Michael? What is an ebook? Yes I know it is an online book! But what is it exactly? I have heard of writing for ezines. I am in a writer's group and heard a freelancer speak. She said one thing we could do for part of our living was to write articles for ezines. Now you have me curious. What is an ebook?

Thanks Michael, Krissy :)

Let me ask you a question that I am entirely sincere about. You advertise on your site an ebook entitled 20 ways to make $100 per day online. If you followed the advice you sell, shouldn't your goal for 2008 already be attained ten-fold?

I didn't write the 20 ways to make $100 a day. Why do people always assume that because you are selling an ebook that you wrote it?

I AM following two of the ideas from the $100 a day ebook to work towards my goal of $200 a day for 2008.
