Well, this month I knew would be a bit of a tough one for my sites. Running any kind of affiliate program during the summer I think is a hard one - starting a new blog is tough too. But here I am right in there with a new blog and sitting here having a hell of a time trying to pick up the clicks.
My adsense so far is about 2 days behind meeting the same goals as last month. I’m looking at trying to make at least $1.00 a day. More would be spectacular. But I’m sitting here at the beginning of July realizing that holidays make people want to go outside and enjoy their days off. So I have survived Canada Day and now the 4th of July. I’m hoping the week picks up a bit, because I’m finding the weekends really drop off for visits and clicks.
I’m thinking this sort of thing is totally unavoidable. I mean, I would be outside enjoying myself too on a day off. As often as I can - I try to get away from the work and go out and enjoy life a bit. Then I can come back and feel a bit more refreshed and tackle some of the things I’ve been putting off because I’m a super procrastinator.
I’m going to have to pick up the pace a bit this month - I’ve got a newsletter going out on Fansite #1 sometime this month. I’m looking at trying to get something out at least once a month. See - I’m starting to learn. Get a list together. Now I don’t want it to be mondo crappy and full of ads - I actually want to put a little more effort into it and give some interesting stories, etc - and add it in. I had those types of fluff newsletters that often come out and I get nothing out of them. So I don’t really want to do it with my Fansite #1 newsletter…
… which reminds me. I should check and see how many I have on the list.

don’t let your spirits get you down based on this week, this has to be one of the lows for the entire year with holidays around the world on top of a slow quarter.

The exact opposite is happening to me. In the first 5 days of July, I’ve made nearly 50% of what I made in June. So far, the spring has been pretty poor. I went from getting a check every other month to not getting one since March. And the next one will only come in August if I make about $10 more this month… Really sad spring. Hope the summer is better. All the more reason to keep investigating other income streams!

Good luck with the clicks - Pray for (more) rain???
btw - did I see you on the list for PostieCon? I thought so, but if not, it’s in Vegas in November.
You should come for sure!
