Blogging from scratch has already been running for five months and constantly growing. Although I am already earning from this blog for months, it is only until now that I will reveal how much money I earn from this blog. This will give you ideas on different ways on how to make money online.
- Private ad sales - $40
- TextLinks - $40
- Review - $35
- Affiliates - $14
Total: $129
How I did it
I sell ad space on this blog for a low price, $5 and $10 for 125×125 and 468×60 respectively. What’s even better is that I do not look for advertisers that much and they come to me. Read the How to set your ad prices and be desirable! article to learn some tips on selling private ads.
I sold text links through Text Link Ads! and one advertiser personally contacted me for buying the links. The $35 came from reviewing products, click here to create a FREE account with Review Me and easy $14 from Pepperjam, sign Up for Pepperjam Network and Get a $10 Sign On Bonus

Blogging from scratch is for sale!
I’ve been thinking of selling Blogging from scratch. In 2009, there would be a tremendous change and a huge responsibility awaiting me in my field of work and I’m afraid I won’t have enough time to take care of this blog. Just like now, I’m in an out-of-town work related trip and it is only a blessing that I could access the Internet.
My blog posts are not just written within a matter of minutes but for a handful of hours and sometimes days. I double, triple and quadruple check my blog posts before hitting the publish button. The topics are well thought of and I always make sure that I clearly stressed my points on my articles.
This blog is already earning me an average of $100 per month - the money is clearly good. Had I enough time for this, I will not resort on selling it. But I feel like I have already accomplished my blogging goal. The goal of this blog is to teach my friends on how to setup a blog and then eventually earn money online.. Even though I do not own this blog anymore, I would always direct my friends into this site.
Anyway, I still have other sites that earns me money online. If you want to bid for this site, just email me at bloggingfromscratch[at]gmail.com with your offer. This blog is hosted until July 2009.
Something to celebrate
I have been approached by a writer for a net magazine that will feature my blog, I’ll let you know when it will be published!
Contest winners
The contest winners of the Blog Extreme Makeover contest will be announced on the following days. I do not have a time to tally all of the participants entries. I’ll work on it as soon as I am available. I will make sure that winners will get their prizes prior to the sale of this site.
