Auction Ads has just announced this great new ability to be able to target the ads shown on your site with a seller ID instead of keywords only. This is awesome news if you are an eBay seller as well as a blogger. Makes much more sense to advertise your own auction listings than someone elses and hit two birds with one stone. If you are not an Ebay seller and wouldn’t mind using my Ebay ID of lavender-haze, I’d much appreciate it!

Paula Mooney just posted her list of Paula’s List of Blogger Salaries. Of course, it lists most of the big guns out there, but it proves that it can be done and done well.
Here’s a little more inspiration, I haven’t updated John Chow’s earnings since he posted his February report. He increased his earnings from $7011.05 in Feb, to $8545.25 in March and $11,702.66 in April. What’s interesting to watch here, is that he post’s exactly where his blogging income comes from each month, so you can see where he makes the most money. Very informative.
I have to give some Kudos’s to this mom who earns money online via blogging and many other methods. She writes in lots of places, has multiple blogs and Squidoo lenses, and happily shares all her information about how she earns money online, which sites, how much, etc. She is a mom of 7!!! And she makes this work for her, she is truly an inspiration!
If you are also interested in learning how to earn money online, you MUST check out her Squidoo lense titles Make Money Online. Also be sure to check out her blog Getting Out of Debt.
So far, I have been paid $136.35 from the shopping rewards site Bigcrumbs. Most of that money was earned off of the shopping done by my referrals. This site has an awesome referral system, that allows you to earn money off of your referrals shopping, for LIFE! Not just a one time measely payment like most other sites offer. I am also due to be paid an additional $24.82 on or about May 15th, which will bring my total up to $161.17.
So a kind reader named Barbara mentioned to me that I should try Auction Ads and I have just signed up for it. Thanks for the tip! It looks like a really easy way to possibly earn a buck or two from this blog. It was easy to set up, but I didn’t see a way for it to pull up my own auctions. It allows you to put in keywords and brings up items based on that. If I missed something simple and anyone does know how to make it so that it brings up your own auctions, I would love to know how!
John Chow has inspired many by his posts on his earnings since he monetized his popular blog last Septermber. His February earnings have been eagerly anticipated by many. Final tally: $7,011.05!!! Who would have thought that he would have more than doubled last month’s earnings? That is some serious dough. I truly appreciate his willingness to share not only his earnings, but a breakdown of where they come from, as well as his Making Money from a Blog series that share how he has gotten to where he is today.
It seems to me, that more and more programs are popping up all over the web, that allow you to make money online via a referral based system. I ran across the Bigcrumbs (ref link) shopping rewards site in November which operates in this way. Then stumbled upon Agloco last month which pays you to surf the web. Than today I found out about Slashmysearch (NOT a ref link, still thinking about joining) which also works in this way and pays you for using their search too and pays you if your referrals use the tool also.
Just wanted to share information on my second payout received from the new shopping rewards program Bigcrumbs. I received my latest payment from them last week on the 15th. This payment covers the cash back earned on not only my own purchases, but those referrals in my downline, who also made purchases, during the month of December. Total pay out was $81.61, which I was very pleased with, being this is only my second payment since starting the program. Less than 10% of that amount is from my own purchases. Granted December is probably the biggest shopping month of the year, but this does show great promise!
If so, I would love to connect with you to network and learn from each other. I have found blog networks for moms (TheMomBlogs)and blog networks for women (Blogher), but I have yet to find a group or network of moms and or women who are purposely trying to earn money blogging. If this is you, or if you know of a group or network, please post!
