For all intents and purposes, this was my first month of real affiliate marketing.  I had been an Adsense user for several years with minimal success, but July was when I finally said “I’m going to actually try this”.

For Adsense, I’ve got about half a dozen random sites that pretty much just sit around collecting a tiny bit of traffic.  My most successful Adsense is my old funny t-shirts business that I created, owned, and operated for 5 years.  This site still gets around 1500 uniques each month despite being completely closed for business.  For several years, that site ranked #1 on Google for the term “funny tees”, which was a fiercely competitive niche.

Granted, I didn’t get started until nearly July 20th, so this was more indicative of about 1/3 month than a whole month.  You’ve gotta start somewhere and I’m glad I did!

Here’s the breakdown:

Adsense Revenue (7 sites): $24.13
Amazon Affiliates Revenue: $128.77
ClickBank Affiliate Revenue: $0 (nothing done with this account yet)
Shareasale Affiliate Revenue: $0 (nothing done with this account yet)
Commission Junction Revenue: $0 (nothing done with this account yet)

Total Affiliate Revenue: $152.90

While this seems like a fairly mundane amount, it was enough to spark my enthusiasm for the concept of affiliate marketing.  Now I’m probably spending 12 to 15 hours a week on my various affiliate marketing campaigns.
