    Reflection

    As I mentioned last month, November was intended to be another “building stage” month … trying to get my templates under controll, upgrading plugins, wordpress versions .. and other administrative stuff. Revenues were down because of it, bur fortunately not by much.

    Unfortunately, I didn’t do too much “building” and converting templates at all in November, and still during this time in December I have not done much. Quite honestly, I have been swamped with my offline work and I have been neglecting my blogs this month.

    As for the revenues, just like Halloween – I think I have “blown” it for christmas season in the HART Market stores, but I don’t advertise so, I deserve that I suppose! I’m barely getting this under control and modifying the products each site has every week and hopefully it will click in during 2009. The time spent in November trying to promote the stores were a last ditch effort, in my opinion, that I probably should have spent the time just modifying the templates and doing the upgrades. Oh well!

    And, I probably should be upgrading this blog and template too 🙂

    In December 2008, I did manage to create 8 new sites .. 3 new “Lvr” blogs (for 2009) and 5 new HART Market stores (as soon as I get the templates in I will add them to the top menu). If I can manage to earn revenues of $1,930.16 .. then I will have broken the gross revenues of $20,000 for 2008. Although, looking at my earnings so far Dec 1-10, 2008 .. I suspect I probably be closer to $19,800 or less.

    It’s been a slow year, yet looking at other blog owners trying to monetize and make money online I should be a lot more grateful than I am. However, I still direct my success to any bottom line earnings which, for the next six months, I see myself continually breaking even as I bootstrap more of my business back into the business and hope to grow.

    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.

    Reflection

    September 2008 showed a 3rd consecutive decline in revenues. I attribute the first two months to my Summer Vacation, but in the month of September I was re-building the “Shop @ HART Market” stores. I actually showed a NET LOSS of ($292) for the month, as I’m still paying off the excess EVDO fees used while away at the cottage in August, plus I thought I would spend $200.00 towards Halloween and Yahoo! Marketing sponsorship ads .. just to see if it will help anything for the Halloween @ HART Market store. There were also an excess of domain renewals in the Month of September. It’s been a year since I converted the health and DIY sites to the single domain/subdomain concept, but I am not yet complete in moving the MySQL databases from the old account … so I just renewed everything just in case. This is my December 2008 project. The positive thing that came out of September 2008 is that I had exceeded $400 from Google Adsense two consecutive months in a row. I find that thrilling somehow.

    For October 2008, I am optimistic on moving upwards in revenues but, you know how that goes – stuff happens. I’ll know when the month of October 2008 is over how I did!

    Reflection

    July 2008 revenues showed a decline of almost 5% over June 2008 levels, but I consider July as a short month. We went on vacation from July 27, 2008 until August 13, 2008 (hence the delays in posting this) and I was working hard “offline” trying to tie up loose ends before we left. Although I had internet access with my Laptop and EVDO card .. most of the time spent online was trying to setup and organize working stores in my HARTmarket.com sites. I seemed to be quite involved in more promotion of other people’s social requests that I didn’t really have much time to do my own! Also, certain CPM contracts expired and there were vacant spots with no earnings on the Adify network for about 10 days in July.

    I am not optomistic about August 2008 revenues, and in fact TLA revenues are down. But, surprisingly the adify revenues have exceed July figures already as of today, and Adsense also estimated to be exceed July figures .. Go figure! I know that I haven’t been posting much! Quite strange indeed – and, whatever they will turn out to be – they will turn out to be~!

    In the meantime, I know the slowdown is a direct result from the lack of posting on the sites around my network. Instead of the usual 10-15 blogs I have been contributing to (in addition to the paid writers) I am probably closer to 5 blogs that I contribute to. I have to work on that despite my enjoyment of having somewhat of a vacation.

    Good News … I broke $10,000 in July and almost broke $11,000 year to date earnings! WooHoo!

    Bad News … The expenses were out of control in July, and overall .. I barely made $65 net for the month. All money earned is going back into the HART-Empire Network in the way of fees for content, hosting and incidentals. I know I’m not getting any of this money! Hopefully soon though~

    Reflection

    June 2008 increase gross revenues somewhat back to April 2008 levels. I fear there may be a decline in the upcoming July and August months. I am even more burnt out from work, and a wanting and desire to spend the summer weekends (combined with a 2-week summer vacation) over at the cottage.

    Everything I do online, is gearing for the fall – mostly, being my schedule. YES! I made a schedule, and hopefully I will get around to completing this schedule over the next few months.

    In the meantime, I know the slowdown is a direct result from the lack of posting on the sites around my network. Instead of the usual 10-15 blogs I have been contributing to (in addition to the paid writers) I am probably closer to 5 blogs that I contribute to. I have to work on that despite my enjoyment of having somewhat of a vacation.

    And, despite it all .. in July I do expect to break the $10,000 level of gross earnings year-to-date – not too shabby, eh?

    I didn’t notice this on my other blogs, but today it was a big deal with a few of my Battling For Health series of blogs.

    No matter what I tried to do .. the result was the same. When you upload images in either visual or non-visual mode .. and then click the INSERT button, the flash screen would turn white – freeze – not close at all, and no image would be uploaded.

    Not Good!

    I can imagine how frustrating it must be for the writers .. not being able to insert images. There is a feature where you can insert images from other sources .. but, this is useful when sites are already online say, on Flickr or PhotoBucket etc. But it’s much better to store the images on my dedicated server – at least, I like it better. I don’t have to worry about sites disappearing, or images being removed, or even sites going broke and shutting down. And, my job is to make sure that my writers just have to focus on their talent and skills – writing. It’s just not right for me to say .. “Well, it worked for me on my site~!”

    So .. I looked and looked and looked .. and – I FINALLY FOUND AN ANSWER THAT SOLVED MY PROBLEM.

    Here it is in a nutshell

    If you jump to the website, or “view site” from within the dashboard of my blogs .. the bottom taskbar of the browser window was displaying battlingforhealth.com

    If I go into my dashboard, option/settings .. my WordPress address (URL) and Blog address (URL) both was displaying this address BattlingForHealth.com

    You see .. I like to capitalize the first letter of each word of these type of domains, like AndYouWill.com and even worse on HARTmarket.com sites!

    All I did was change the options from BattlingForHealth.com to battlingforhealth.com and everything worked perfectly after that!

    Found at WordPress Support by N8uri

    * Everyone: I’ve got the fix:

    Check your browser’s address bar at the top (where your http://blahblah.com address is)

    If you’re coming from any site that uses a masked forwarded domain, it won’t work. When you insert media into post while your browser’s address bar has the same domain name in it as the one listed in your blog’s settings > General – WordPress Address URL, it will work just fine.

    I tried it with other tabs open, Firefox and Safari. I don’t think it’s browser dependent. The reason for inconsistency is probably from visiting forwarded masked domain sites, coming from frames, and all other sorts of ways in which your address bar will say something besides what it should.

    Hope this finally puts this huge issue to rest!

    Let’s recall the history of Rich Manalang’s Wp-Amazon plugin

    * Pre WordPress versions 2.0

    > WORKED LIKE A CHARM

    * WordPress version 2.1+

    > Worked, if you used Firefox and in Visual Mode

    * WordPress version 2.2-2.3+

    > Worked after an initial delay, by rigging a fix found in the support group
    > I documented the needed changes in my previous post back in November

    * WordPress version 2.5+

    > BROKEN AGAIN 🙁

    But .. Have No Fear Fellow WordPress 2.5+’ers!

    Nick Ohrn has saved us all and created a NEW AND IMPROVED Amazon plugin that works on wordpress version 2.5.1 (the latest wordpress version at the time of writing this post)

    Download it at WordPress
    AMAZON RELOADED FOR WORDPRESS” Plugin

    * Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet

    The nice thing about this new plugin, is that it works with BOTH Firefox (FF3) and Internet Explorer (IE7) that I have tested it on – in BOTH Visual-Editor mode and non-Visual-Editor mode. Although, I should mention that in Internet Explorer, in both modes .. I was only able to insert the small image into the post.

    Highly Recommended

    … by HART!

    Thanks Nick!

    * 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.

    Summary of Gross Earnings 2007/2008

    * January 2007 – $344.61
    * February 2007 – $372.37
    * March 2007 – $492.41
    * April 2007 – $491.85
    * May 2007 – $620.99
    * June 2007 – $632.47
    * July 2007 – $672.66
    * August 2007 – $701.78
    * September 2007 – $706.09
    * October 2007 – $801.12
    * November 2007 – $859.20
    * December 2007 – $863.36

    ** Year-To-Date Gross Earnings (Jan-Dec/2007) – $7,558.91
    * Average (YTD) $20.71 per day or, $629.91 per month

    * January 2008 – $981.88
    * February 2008 – $1,076.12
    * March 2008 – $1,596.30
    * April 2008 – $1,872.57
    * May 2008 – $1,767.04

    ** Year-To-Date Gross Earnings (Jan-May/2008) – $7,297.08
    * Average (YTD) $48.01 per day ($57.00 in May/2008) and Average (YTD) $1,459.42 per month in 2008

    Reflection

    May 2008 declined in gross revenues over what April 2008 accomplished. In my release of the April 2008 figures, I hypothetically wondered outloud if I could maintain a 15% growth each month .. and if I could, May 2008 would have been more than $2,100. But, although that I did fall short – I believe I know what the reasons were:

    * Meltdown and After-Tax Season Burn-out during the first week of May/2008
    * I put a call for, and hired 5 new writers for the PetLvr and “LVR” series of blogs last half of May/2008

    Both of the above events took up my time away from production of posting content and the promotion of same during the month. Despite that, if you look at the chart below – I have almosted DOUBLED revenues from 2006 and almost exceeded entire 2007 earnings just in these past 5 months.

    Regarding expenses, it’s hard to believe I still had a net PROFIT – because in May 2008 I purchased a network-wide site license to have Ansuman’s 32-Language Translator “Gold” version plugin for $400 USD. It’s expensive but, at the beginning of 2008 I had in mind to upgrade most of the important existing blogs – 1 at a time – with the “PRO” version translator plugin at $30/pop … and one new blog a month. This just made financial sense in the long run, that I can have this available for all my blogs – existing and future blogs.

    Reflection

    April 2008 was another positive growth month, earnings-wise .. despite that the traffic growth was a negative for April 2008. According to the statistics, April 2008 was 190.13% of January 2008 earnings, and 117.3% of March 2008 earnings. I am not unrealistic and think that each month the earnings can grow by a similar percentage, if I put my mind to it .. but I wonder what would happen if I could maintain a 15% monthly growth rate… Then, my monthly earnings could look like this:

    April $1,872
    May $2,153
    June $2,476
    July $2,847
    August $3,274
    September $3,765
    October $4,330
    November $4,980
    December $5,726

    Now .. I like that $5,726 figure in December x 12 could be = $68,718/year! 😀 Realistically, however .. I need new structure and planning to achieve this growth .. better content, new writing staff, more traffic and promotion, and higher priced ad spots that I have been getting.

    I still think this is possible, and being hooked into the Adify network and CPM sponsorship has opened my eyes a little to this possibility. I need the HART-Empire Network to grow. I have yet to be paid from them, and still don’t expect to start receiving payments until June or July… but, at least I accrue.

    Regarding expenses, although it looks positive net income, cash flow is different from net income. I will be expanding and hiring more writers starting June 1st though, and despite my adversity to the automatic renewing of domains by my registrar .. I have a lot going through this month – and I think I will renew them one final year .. just to be sure I don’t need them, and to protect the domain. Maybe I’ll just park them this time 🙂
