* I’ve been keeping track of my HART-Empire Network Earnings Online ..

Here is the link: HART-Empire Network Earnings Spreadsheet Document

The earnings are on an “Accrual” basis, where I’m documenting what I’ve earned, but monies will usually come in the following month, or (if ever) when I reach the minimum threshold for release of my earnings for payment. The expenditures are on a “Cash” basis, as I pay something related to my online earnings, I just load up the spreadsheet and modify it.

Reflection

October 2008 showed a decent 14.68% increase over September 2008 revenues, which was showing a little decline .. and hit the HIGHEST GROSS EARNINGS IN A SINGLE MONTH that I have ever did! Unfortunately, none of the increase was due to any Halloween marketing and store revenues, but fortunately I am optimistic and I will take it! (yaaaaay)

PLUS:
* Year-to-date October 2008 (10 months) I have officially doubled my earnings during the same period of 2007 (more yaaaay). I must remember, unfortunately, that gross revenues are not “net profits” or enough for me to quit my dayjob just yet but it’s nice to know as I see the gross increase – there is hope to receive a “net”. This month of October showed a net profit almost equal to the google adsense revenue I received. This is very good because Google sends me the money directly into my bank account each month. Being able to pay all the expenses out of my paypal account without bringing back my adsense earnings is a relief – especially if I can build up my paypal account balance.

For November 2008, I am back in the building stages, as rather than specifically try to grow my network and get these templates under control and installed .. I will be tweaking existing sites that might help me longer term grow traffic for my network as a whole – and upgrade plugins. I have also introduced a new advertising medium to the mix and hope to supplement earnings with a totally new add-on to my gross. Can I break $2,000 in November?? *fingers crossed*

For 2009 .. the plan is to continue to increase my base levels in paypal and add several new writers in January … before the new tax season starts eating up my time once again. I will not forget this over November and December.
