While I’m still nowhere near John Chow’s October income, I’m pretty happy with October’s earnings. Here’s the run down:
Amazon (all countries) – $1275.80
Google AdSense – $1090.74
CPM Ads – $604.13
Misc Other PPC & Affiliates – $548.08

Grand Total for October 2008 - $3518.75
While I took a dip of a couple grand this month, I kinda expected it due to the rebound on the traffic spike I had in September on my primary blog. Again, it accounted for all but about $200 in earnings.
I’ve got my sights set high for November and December. We’ll see if I can spike the earnings with some holiday shopping traffic and hit my goal of $10k.
In other news, I just launched my first PPC campaign thanks to Amit and PPC Classroom 2.0. This is something I’ve wanted to get involved in for several months but just haven’t been able to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Well, the pieces are coming together and I’ll start reporting on successes and failures in my PPC campaign efforts as well.
On PPC Classroom 2.0, I paid $77 to join and it’s a $30/mo subscription for access to the resources going forward. It’s worth a lot more given the information that they are giving away. Unfortunately, they’ve closed the course to new signups. I’ll let you know if it opens back up.

Lane,
I see that you are in PPC Classroom as well so I thought I’d post a comment here. I’ve been really impressed with the program and have greatly improved my PPC campaigns because of it. Are you planning to attend the Live Event in December? I’m going to be there and would love to meet as many other students as possible.
Pat
P.S. Check out my PPC Classroom blog in my link and let me know what you think.
congratulations Lane, that is a huge number. It is not fair to compare those to what JC’s has achieve, but still in my opinion, reaching 3000++ per month is quite high.
