This is guest post by Amanda J. Harris owner of the Pajama Mommy Community and The Blog World
I would like to say that you too can make this!
I am just sharing with you where I made what, and how I am doing all of this. Since I am working my @#% (butt) off to make this kind of money. I am here to explain to you how I did it and what I used.
Now at the end of the month, I was working on some direct advertising deals however they have not been added since the final amounts are still unknown; but some were almost around $3,000 for the month of August. So I’m starting out August looking good.
However, I am here to share My July… now July was amazing!
I seem to only be moving forward, but I’m telling you it is possible to fluctuate in the amount made; so I still have NOT quit my day job. I don’t know for sure when it will go down, and if I can afford to quit; since I can potentially make nothing one month and a million the next, you know?
Pay Per Post: $ 172.50 [Ponn: I have no idea how to do this...so, Amanda, your tips?]
Smorty: $24 [Ponn: Ditto to the same remark above...Amanda? hee hee...you said you'd share "how" 
]
Text Link Ads: $614.96
Have you been counting in just 3 places? That’s ALREADY $811.46, which I have just earned enough to pay for car insurance and rent! That’s great right?
As you can see Smorty didn’t make me a lot; but the fact is: every little bit helps. Don’t just dump something if it is only making you a small amount since at the end of the month it does add up.
Sponsored Reviews: $549.25
Consulting: $1,000 — this I get because of both of my blogs.
Text Link Brokers: $260
Review Me: $210
Direct Advertisement: $355
Grand total: $3185.21
- I work 5 days a week from 9-5 at both my job and my websites.
- In one day, I sent out over TWO THOUSAND EMAILS to media companies.
- Whenever I find a store I like, I email them my media inquiry even if I’m going to shop at that store I email them! I send it every where. I work my (*& (tail) off.
- I work on the technorati score, boosting that up.In one month I went for 300 links to over 430 because I worked hard.
- My RSS feed isn’t the greatest because people can’t decide on a newsletter or an RSS feed, but both options are available; its whichever users like, and I will dump the alternative. Since I can’t post and do newsletters frequently. I don’t have enough time. [Ponn: You know I'll totally persuade her to keep both...even if I have to write the content myself! hee hee...most of that is a joke ]
- But I use my affiliate links, I ask people to use them to help me expand my websites.
All my money is going to paying off my severe debt and going back into Pajama Mommy which is my passion. If users know what it is going on too; they are more prone to help you out!Now, I am no JohnChow but I am getting up there!
Today I already started out my text link earnings at over $300…that’s nice to see I have $300 dollars coming to me by the end of next month on just one endeavor. Granted its not the $1400 John Chow makes but I am trying!
Plus I am trying to get more direct advertisement so I can be in control of all my ads and really expand on the site and not have to share a ridiculous 50% profit with anyone.
I still think TLA is raking me over the coals with that percentage. They also own ReviewMe.com, and I don’t use them as much since again I only make 50% which is definitely not what I’d like to.
Charging the $200 for a review on SponsoredReviews I make $130 per review; but on TLA I only make $100. I want my extra $30 people haha! 
I’m greedy but there is nothing wrong with that. You need to be greedy too.
Undoubtedly, my blog has gained in ranking, and money-earned simply by hiring Amanda to take over in many areas of my online business…and she can for you to! She knows I love her to death…but now with 2 readers and one “early-reader” (yes, our 4-year old reads 2-3-letter words
As always, share your thoughts, questions, concerns below. Amanda (and I) would love to help you out!
