Yes – my ebook sales started out strong, but I have had a lull in sales since that first week. I hope things pick back up! “Get Paid to Fart” — haha, I like the name of your blog! Best of luck with all of your endeavors!

What I like about your earnings (apart from the earnings itself, of course) is that it’s quite diverse.

Well done on the ebook sales. If that’s what you’ve made in one week, it’s likely it can only go up from there (fingers crossed for you).

Take care…

Hi Brian – I have adsense on about 10 websites, but my primary adsense earnings are from my limo company’s website and the residuals and royalties blog. I think I have a few HubPages too, but they are not doing to much in earnings. Do you mind if I ask what type of earnings made up your $135 day? That is a great day!

MJ-

thanks for the transparency. Lots of Internet gurus could learn a thing or two from you and pat. My question is about your adsense income. Do you have a site or is that from something like Squidoo?

I am one a similar journey as you and just had a $135 day yesterday, I think adsense is my next approach. Just wondering your thoughts.

Thanks!

Hi Emily,

I don’t think I have earned one penny from referrals unfortunately. I just checked Shutterstock and I have referred 19 photographers so far, no one of them has sold a single images. So that’s pretty disheartening! My sales are all from my image portfolio. Hope that helps!

Hi,

Great blog!

Do you have a post on how you are earning from your photo affiliates (istock, etc…) is it through referrals or do you have your own collection you earn from? Just wondering!

Thanks,

Emily

To be honest, I do not think I am going to reach my goals with simply freelance writing, microstock photography and stuff like CashCrate. I think that stuff like product inventions, iPhone apps, quality ebooks and small business ventures are what truly will wind up making me some real money. I am not sure how long it will take me to break the $1,000/month barrier – but I hope to do it by this summer. The $100 for my ebook is only for the last week of February, I had four sales that week. Since then, things have slowed down with sales – but I would be happy with $300 a month from my ebook. $400 would be great!

These were my costs: Writing: $0 (Just my time!), Elance designer to create bookcover, logo, pages and final PDF file: $80, Webpage through Homestead.com: $2 for the domain + $5 a month for hosting. (I built the webpage myself, very simple on Homestead) — that’s it! My total costs were just under $90! From here on in, it is all profit. You will also want to register your eBook on e-junkie to allow others to sell it as your affiliates. I currently offer 51% payment to any e-junkie member who sells my eBook. This equates to a $12.75 profit for them!

Let me know if you have any more questions…

I’m just wondering. What are the start up costs for an E-book?

Hi,
The last time you displayed your monthly earnings you said that you are looking forward to make more than $1000 a month so that you can finance your mortgage debt. So how much more time do you believe it would take?

$100 from your e-book sales in february!! Hmmm!!! How would you rank this? below expectations, above expectations or just as expected?
