Welcome to the income report for September 2012!
This monthly series details how I make money online and what I’m doing to improve these numbers.
Like many online entrepreneurs, I use these reports to motivate readers and also help me analyze what’s currently working (and not working) with my sources of income.
Every report is broken down into two sections:
So let’s get to it…
“What type of email should I sent to my list?”
“Do I always need to promote something?”
“How do I balance quality content with different affiliate offers?”
These are all questions that people have when it comes to list building.
Many budding Internet entrepreneurs know about the value of email marketing. But most don’t do it because they’re unclear about what emails they should send.
So today I’ll break down 12 types of email marketing messages.
Even better – I’m going to do it with a detailed infographic.
Here we go…
I’m pleased to announce the release of my 3rd Kindle book:
“How to Discover Best-Selling Amazon Kindle Nonfiction Book Ideas”
The best part?
I’m offering a free download for the next five days. From today (September 24th) all the way to the end of Friday (September 28th); you can grab a free copy of this Kindle book.
Here are the details…
What’s the key to building a successful affiliate marketing business?
You need many different things to “make it” as an affiliate.
This includes: A good niche, quality content, the right products, and targeted list building.
Above them all, there is a single metric that’s critical to the success of your affiliate marketing business.
It’s called the “Subscriber Value.”
On my new YouTube Channel, I explain Subscriber Value and why it’s an important factor in the success of your website:
It’s time for another income report!
Like many other Internet entrepreneurs, I use these monthly statements to show what actually works with an online business.
These reports are designed to be motivational to anyone interested in making money online and/or people who want to take their existing business to the next level.
Plus, they provide me with a bit of accountability because I know every month I have to report back how much I’ve earned 🙂
Every report is broken down into two sections:
Kinda rhymes, doesn’t it?
Anyway, let’s get to the good stuff…
It’s time for another edition of the Traffic and Conversion Series!
The idea behind these posts is to show what’s actually working with my traffic generation efforts. By following this series you’ll get ideas and tactics that can be used with your online business.
I’m writing this post after completing a seven week cross-country trip across the United States.
So I didn’t get a chance to do much in the way of blogging.
Did my traffic go up? Did it go down?
More importantly, what am I doing to grow these numbers moving forward?
I’ll answer these questions. Plus I’ll analyze ten different traffic sources for the last 1.5 years – Showing what’s currently working and what’s not.
There’s lots to cover today.
So let’s get to it…
Last time, I profiled three case studies about the first apps I’m developing.
At the end of the post I asked a simple question:
“Do you want to learn more about mobile app development?”
The response was overwhelming. Over 80% of the respondents said they wanted to learn more about this topic.
The problem?
I consider myself to be a beginner on the apps market. I’m confident I’ll figure it out eventually. For now though, I don’t think it would be fair to post additional content – UNTIL I’m sure I know what I’m talking about.
With that said, I’ve done my homework on this subject. I’ve discovered lots of excellent websites and a few blogs that provide top-notch information to anyone who wants to jump into the wonderful world of mobile app development.
Today I’d like to talk about four of these blogs and explain why you should start reading them today…
After the last income report, I had a few people ask about my approach to making iPhone apps.
Specifically some wondered how much the whole thing costs.
Surprisingly you don’t need thousands of dollars to build your first app. My advice is to focus on something simple which only costs a few hundred dollars.
In today’s post, I’ll detail three different case studies of how much I’ve spent (or almost spent) on my budding app empire.
Blogging can be an excellent source of income.
But it can also get overwhelming at times.
Fortunately Timo (aka: Productive Superdad) has a few quick solutions. In this guest post, he provides three simple questions that can help you combat the overwhelm.
You thought that blogging was a simple way to become rich and famous. You thought that a couple of hours per week on your blog would bring you success and fame – almost overnight.
Now, after blogging for a while, you know that this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Your task list is now miles long and even the simplest tasks take forever to finish. You seem to be adding new tasks to your list everyday and you can’t get these tasks done, no matter how hard you work.
This disheartens you and you start to procrastinate – even if you know that your work is important. Needless to say, your progress towards blogging stardom is facing some real difficulties.
The longer you keep working like this, the longer you’ll have to wait for blogging success.
You are thinking of quitting your blogging career because you’re not seeing any results.
And I don’t blame you, since I would feel exactly the same if I were you.
It’s time for another income report!

Moving forward, these reports will be broken down into two sections:

I need your help with a quick favor.
It’ll take less than a minute of your time (or maybe five if you decide to leave a comment.)
As I mentioned in my first income report, there is a huge profit-potential with the Amazon Kindle market. So I’ve set a goal of creating at least one Kindle book every month.
Right now, I’m working on the 3rd and 4th book. (More on these in future posts.) The problem is I’m stuck with what to create after these two titles.
So I’m asking for your help. Below I have a poll where I’d like you to check off one of three options:
Welcome to the tenth edition of the Traffic and Conversion Series!
This monthly post describes what I’m currently doing to drive traffic to my blog and email list.
I missed last month’s edition. (Long story)
So this time, I’ll compare traffic growth from July to what happened in May.
Plus, I’ll talk about how a single forum thread post generated 1,861 blog visitors and eight steps you can follow to get the same kind of traffic numbers.
To start, let’s go over the stats from last month:
