Despite the fact that February is typically the market’s slowest month of the year, February was a great month for me. Here is my total earnings report for last month. This includes the three blogs that I’m currently working to monetize.

Revenue Sources
AdSense - $58.65
Text-Link-Ads Referrals - $25.00
Text-Link-Ads - $4.30
Total Revenue: $87.95

$87.95 a month is a fair amount, considering this is a part-time hobby. Times that by 12, and I’m making about $1,055.40 a year.

AdSense was my biggest money maker last month. I don’t expect this to always be the case. As you’ll notice, I received a check for $25.00 simply for referring a new publisher to Text-Link-Ads. That’s a huge chunk of my earnings, so you can definitely see the importance of referrals.

The other thing you’ll notice is that there are only two main sources: AdSense and Text-Link-Ads. I will using a variety of other ad networks in the following months.

February was not my best month though. I’ve done better, particularly in the summer months. The good news is that this is just the beginning. My blog network is gaining velocity fast, so stay tuned, internet.
