I was just doing the old daily routine of looking through all my accounts, checking to see what my earnings are for the month and got hit with a surprise that completely shocked me. I’ve always believed the idea to be profitable, but haven’t received more than roughly $.50 in any one day from it. You’ll see the shopping sites in my sidebar, those are what I’m talking about. They are wordpress blogs that pull ebay feeds, gathering all the items neatly into a central shopping location. I get a commission from ebay when somebody clicks through one of those links and wins an auction. Well, since I started the sites around the beginning to middle of November, I’ve only earned about $5 total from them, which isn’t enough to declare them profitable. Keep in mind, though, that they are only receiving 10 - 20 hits per day, so I was actually pretty proud of those earnings. Yesterday, however, I got hit with a real boost to my account. Somebody won an auction, generating almost a $9 commission for me. My account actually doubled! It’s still not enough for a payout, but I stand by my original feelings of the sites, still. Once I get more traffic to them, they will really take off. I am currently working on SEO for the site “Gucci Gallery”. I plan on taking them one at a time and focusing on each one to get it onto the front page of Google, and really bring in the search engine traffic. As soon as this happens, I’m really expecting them to do great things. Now, they all won’t succeed with at the same level, but they should average out to be quite lucrative.
