Well, Christmas has come and gone and New Years Eve was a blast! Now, I'm left with the realization that my most popular site was the Christmas site and none of the others are really getting much traffic. So now, it's time to start concentrating on the other sites.
My sister is really putting a lot of effort into the
travel site. I need to start concentrating on the
Open Source site. I'm now successfully signed up with Article Marketer (both for receiving articles and submitting them). Let me tell you, they could use a lot of work on their customer service though. My sister signed up with them about 2 weeks ago, paid her $79 (the link said it would be $75). The link said she would be signign up for 3 months and getting 3 free, but when we look at her account it says "not subscribed".
So, two or three e-mails later, Article Marketer still has not fixed the problem. She even sent her pay-pal confirmation to them. I'm telling you, I am not impressed with them from that standpoint at all. I told her if they don't respond within another 48 hours to send them another e-mail saying that she's going to ask paypal to reverse the charges and log a formal complaint with pay pal. Maybe the thought of having their paypal priv's revoked will make them take notice!
On to better things.
Over the holidays I had a couple of $3 days (all on the Christmas site). Now that the holidays are over, I'm back to 10 and 20 cent days (how depressing). The only people who've registered at any of the forums (family and friends aside) are spammers.
I'm having a little trouble keeping motivated at this point.
Grand total spent $1500ish
Grand total made $35
As you can see, it isn't paying off just yet. I did notice that google has now started indexing the bible site though. I'm not really doing any promotion on that site, so cash wise, it's meaningless.
I found some public domain cook books that I'm going to make available on the
recipe site,
I'm also considering using some of the articles from the
Article Chimp site to boost my content on my other sites. I figure maybe it'll help both sites out.
Take it easy and have a great 2007!
