My 2012 Earnings

I have been horrible about updating this blog and don't have a ton of time right now, but I want to at least give a quick update on my earnings for 2012.  In 2012, I made nearly five times what I made in 2011.
My Squidoo earnings were over ten times my 2011 Squidoo earnings and actually twice my total earnings for 2012.  However, the big sleeper was Examiner.  I got a new Examiner title towards the end of the year and made $705 alone in December!  The combination of Squidoo and Examiner ensure that in 2013, my earnings will far exceed my earnings for 2012, with my current goal for the end of 2013 being $10,000!

Wizzley was my big disappointment.  If you'll recall, I was inspired by initial results at the end of 2011 and inspired to make more Wizzes in 2012.  Well, I really dropped the ball on that.  I made one or two new Wizzes, although I'm not sure I even completed them both to the point of being published.  Anyway, as a result, my earnings from Wizzley was a whopping goose egg!

My 2012 Squidoo Earnings: $1,383.41

I have some goals for 2013, which I will share at a later date, but for now I wanted to at least provide this update which is about 2 months overdue!

May, 2012 Earnings

After a long delay, I have a some free time, so I thought I'd give an update on my earnings from May, 2009.  I took a major vacation from writing and have barely written in months.  In December, I set myself some goals for what to earn by July 1 so my plan for June is to write, write, write in hopes of meeting the goals I meant to spend 7 months working on.

My 2011 Earnings from Writing Online & 2012 Writing Goals

Happy New Year! 2011 has come to a close and 2012 has started.  I have updated all of my making money earnings and made a total of $585.48 this year by writing online.  I made $554.32 from writing articles and $31.16 from affiliate sales.  A more detailed break-down of my earnings per program is below.

My goal for 2012 is by the end of the year to be making $500 per month.  A huge goal!  I hope to become more diligent about promoting all of my articles and creating backlinks for them.  I also plan to write, write, write.  I hope to have at least 100 articles/pages for each site that I write for by the end of the year and will greatly increase the number of articles I write for Infobarrel.  (I haven't written for Infobarrel in almost 2 months!)  This year I received my first tier 1 lens for Squidoo: Daily Deal Sites Like Groupon.  I plan to promote this lens so that it remains tier 1 all year and create at least 1 new lens that becomes tier 1.  (Ideally, I would like to end 2012 with 5 tier 1 lenses).   I also plan to create more pages at Wizzley, where although I have 2 very simple pages, I am pulling in strong Adsense earnings per page.
