I told myself I will only hold the income reports on one blog and that would be my official network site. I thought it over and decided to do all income reports on my personal blog to show my readers what can happen if you work hard.
First I will like to focus on the traffic stats for my blog. Since its only a little over month old. There is very little traffic coming from search engines. I’m the search engine traffic will come in full force after the blog is 6 months old.
Deneil Merritt June 2009 Traffic Stats
As you can see in the messed up picture (saved in wrong format) I didn’t get that much traffic for June. I did get people to stay an average of 5 minutes. Which kept down the bounce rate below 50%

Remember, my income is from my small network of blogs, websites, affiliate marketing, services and website flipping.
This is the highest month of earnings I have ever had online. I will do my best to keep this rolling a long. Even though, my other blog is most of the income. I will find a way to keep up this income month after month. As long as I set goals and do my best to complete them I will do fine. I bought myself a flip camera as a reward for such hard work over the past year or so to start earning money online. Plus I need a camera to shoot videos. 
Yes, I am always thinking of business. I am also getting AWeber to start my mailing list. I am writing an ebook to giveaway free that will help others get a head start with blogging. I am revealing a few of my secrets that bring in traffic to my blogs.

Hey that’s pretty tight and shows alot of hard work
and setting goals works.
I would like to know more about the direct sales
maybe you can do a post about it or a GUEST POST
nice work
What site were you trying to flip? I love flipping sites!
What site do you use to flip them?
Income is great
Keep up posting and i’m sure it will be bigger soon
Simple image host that looks like a proxy.
Nice work Deneil! Your bounce rate is pretty high with Google huh?
DAMN! Great stuff – DESTROYED ME, and I have been blogging for a little less than a year…but I guess that is why you are a SEO master and I just run a little personal finance blog lol
Yeah, indeed. The hard work is starting to pay off.
Deneil… Nice job and very thorough report. It is nice to see that my site made your top 5 for traffic results
As for you goals, they seem very realistic as you seem to be someone who follows through on everything. Keep up the good work and you definitely will be rewarded down the road!
DP pretty easy to buy and sell low end sites.
Thank you
Wow, your stats are not bad just for starting up. It will increase in time. You made over $500 last month and thats good, I know it’s not up to your goals you set but it’s still ok.
Please read right under my income total.
Great post.Great income,that’s not that bad
Great Stuff Deneiel.. $600 is a great income from all your network of your blogs…
Keep up the good work!
Cheers
Sandeep
If you can get 1000 people to subscribe in July I want to learn how you did that
Congrats on your June income.
Mikael
So, you flip websites, bought a flip camera and had a flipping good month so all in all I’d say you done flippin’ OK for yourself. I’m still a long way behind, but I love a good chase.
Well done Deniel
Nice work man it just goes to show a little bit of hard work goes a long way.
These are impressive figures, man!
My blog has similar stats and I never imagined you can monetize it at this stage and earn as you are earning. This post motivates me to improve my blogging strategy and get ready for a grand per month income stream.
Nice stats and income
I like reading blog posts like this one, find the stats very interesting to read.
Keep it up, I hope to read bigger figures next month!
Pretty inspiring post. $600 in a month seems like a pretty solid base to work from. It was interesting to me that the majority of that came from direct ad sales. How did you go about getting advertisers? Do you advertise your ad space somewhere?
Way to go. All the best for all your future endeavours
Well in the poker niche when it comes to poker blogs advertisers prefer text links. I do them at a minimum of 1 year. I guess I will have to make a post about direct ads and how to find advertisers.
Well sadly, I didn’t flip any websites last month. I had one for sell but no one wanted to pay my asking price.
You not that far behind. I think you can do it. You have any many websites as me. Just find what works and go for it.
How did you go about getting advertisers?
Find forums in my niche that other bloggers need links.
Do you advertise your ad space somewhere?
Post an ad in the marketplace of the forum with details about my blog.
That is definitely encouraging. I too would like to know more about the direct advertising. This is one area where I am lacking in revenue right now. Are these banner ads or other types of ads…
wow, $600 with only 894 monthly visitors is very very nice. I get $30 per month with almost 15 000 visitors.
Hey Deneil, you’ve a great income for June! I only made $500+- at June. Anyway, we need to work harder to achieve goal! Keep it up and see how much we can make at July!
Regards,
Lee
How to earn money from kushmoney?
Way to go, Deneil. Great income, if you ask me; way ahead of my game. Keep it up.
Congrats for your earnings! You truly knows how to earn. I see your a hard working entrepreneur. And I see can achieve your future goals.
Great job Deneil. You are a very dedicated person, and I feel that whatever goal you set, you can reach it. Your earnings for June were quite impressive (to me at least), but knowing you, you can make a lot more. Good luck to you.
Dnaeil I like the bounce rate and for one month old blog the traffic is impressive..Moreover your income stats are impressive …
Congrats! It’s inspiring to see someone making earnings of less than $10k-50k per month and posting it
It’s good to see that hard work eventually pays off.
Congrats…
What is that kushmoney under direct sales income. your direct sales is too high compared to any other ad program.
can i know how it is possible.
Do check out my earnings http://www.niharsworld.com/2009/07/03/june-2009-blog-traffic-income-statistics/
Pretty good stats for your network. Keep up the great work. Greg Ellison
Deneil,
Nice work, I like the breakdown and detail.
Yeah, it took a lot to get to this point. email me what you would like to know or what your readers would like to know about direct sales and I will come up with a post.
Thank you, yeah I hope it will be bigger.
Yeah, but I know how to bring that down. I will just need sometime to make a few changes in which keywords I rank for.
Give some time my friend, I been making money online since 2007 and been blogging since 2008. My income is still very low, I got a few plans I am putting into action that will hopefully bring it up to at least $2,000 a month over the next few months.
Yeah, I didn’t know your blog was bringing in traffic to my blog until I checked the stats for the month. Keep doing a great job with your blog I am sure more and more people will realize how great it is.
Yeah, I do my best to reach each goal I set. Something clicked in my head and made me realize some of the things I was doing wrong. Also I learned somethings over the last month that will surely help me make $1,000+ a month.
Yeah the traffic stats was great for just starting up, I can’t wait to hit the 6 month mark. That’s when my SEO work really kicks in for traffic from search engines.
As far as income, I am happy it hit over my goal. I will do my best to reach my next goal. I feel it took far too long to reach $500 a month but who knows where I can take the income.
Thank you, I do my best to give as much information as I can and do as much as I can to bring in a nice income.
I do my best, I just keep my eye on the prize.
lol, ok that is a deal. If I get 1000 subscribers in a month I will make a post about how I did it and send you the link.
Thank you, June was pretty sweet.
I hope so too.
Please read right under my total income.
At least you made it over that $500 a mark. I believe that we can hit the $1,000 mark. Keep up the great work as I will do the same.
I sold direct ads
Thank you. We both keep at it and the income levels will keep going up.
Thank you. Yeah, the hard work is slowly starting to pay off. If or When I complete my July goals their will be nothing stopping me.
Deneil, you’ve made $600, it’s more than me. But it doesn’t matter, we try our best and improve ourselves this month. Let’s see how much we can make this month!
Regards,
Lee
Yeah, the only thing we can do it provide great content and do what we can to make money each month.
Yeah, I work on the bounce rate as much as I can. As for the traffic, I think I could have done better but I am happy with it.
I don’t sell through an ad program.
I have seen your income report and comment on it on the 3rd.
Thank you, I am doing my best. This month started out pretty slow.
