It’s hard to believe that the summer is over already and that it’s SEPTEMBER. Crazy.

That means there are only four months left in 2010 and the busy holiday season is coming up. Time to start grindin if you haven’t already because there’s  a lot of money to still be made with people heading back to school and coming off of “vacation mode.”

Wanted to do an update post, however, about August and list my goals for next month.

It was an interesting month to say the least. Here’s the snapshot:

* I couldn’t show this as August earnings, due to it being September now, but it’s all from last month. And:

Traffic was split between another network. So that equals total revenue of $37, 778.90. Total spend for Aug. was:

So that’s a profit of $18,508.69. The interesting thing is that I only ran traffic this month for about 13 days total- about the first eight days of the month and five days at the end of the month. The reason for that is I was promised weeklies by the network I was working with and it’s the first time I’d really done any sort of volume with them.

I got pretty freaked out when my payment kept getting delayed so I paused all my traffic until I finally got paid 3 weeks after when I first started my campaign. I was almost scared I wasn’t going to get paid. So I was paused for more than two weeks and the crazy thing is before my first payment from the network was due I ran enough traffic to hit my credit limit on all my cards and so decided  to delve into my checking account to keep running traffic. Not the smartest idea looking back now I know. I even went into overdraft a few times in anticipation of payment. It’s a good thing I finally got paid by the network, but it was not an easy two weeks going without any cash in my pocket, which was right before ASE. I’m working with the network again now as they’ve promised to make payments on time now, but hedging my risk by splitting my traffic with multiple networks.

So I hit my best month ever and some of my best days ever with some $3,000+ profit days.

For this month, I want to continue to scale and I strongly believe I will hit my first $50,000 profit month in September. I’m looking forward to trying out new advertising platforms.

The only thing I regret about this month is that I put in so much time and credit towards scaling this campaign out, that I didn’t get to win a new iPad from Convert2Media for pushing $5,000 of revenue in my first month =(  Would’ve been really cool to win one, but oh well.

One more thing – I’m sure by now you’ve probably heard about the floods in Pakistan. I’ve been trying to help raise some money for helping the victims of the foods and it’s surprisingly harder than I thought after posting about it on Facebook and Twitter. The floods have barely been getting any media attention and disease is spreading fast. If you’d like to help, please donate through my page: Help the Pakistan Flood Victims . That country has been dealing with a whole lot of shit, and as much as I hate the kind of morally corrupt behavior that I see from the country of my origin, it’s not all the people and they still need help. I’ve only donated a little so far, but I’m hoping to match all donations. Thanks everybody.
