Motivational

Its nearing the end of November, but I completely forgot to post about how October was and my November goals.  One of my plans for this poker affiliate blog was to make posts about how my month went, and my goals for the next month.

Well in October I had a personal best month, and it felt great.  I’ve had like 4 or 5 personal best months throughout the year and each time continues to feel great.  I still haven’t hit my overall goal of $10,000 affiliate revenue in one month but I came VERY close last month.  November will probably be one of my top 3 or 4 months once it is finished, which I’m excited about.

For those who know me well, or have read my earlier blog posts (pretty sure I posted it in an old post) you may know that my goal next year is to average $10,000 in affiliate revenue per month or $120,000 for the year.  Now this number is purely affiliate revenue so it wouldn’t take into account my expenses, but I figure it would net a revenue of $100,000 for the year.

Right now I am not really on pace to consistently get $10,000 a month starting in two months (holy shit this year has gone by fast), but what I am hoping is that my revenue will continue to build.  If I start the first couple months under $10,000 I can work hard and get the last few months a bit over my $10,000 goal to even things out.  I couldn’t even imagine generating $10,000 in revenue a month when I first started with this stuff, but I believe I can do it if I continue to work hard.

A lot of my income is generate from sites that require me to continue posting content and working on, so I can’t let off at all.  I have hired a couple friends for doing a bit of writing to help me along.  I have a plan set to launch small sites on like 5-10 domains over the next few months which I hope will boost revenue.  This week I started to launch three of the sites: UB referral code and NHL predictions are two of them.  I have 2.5 weeks off of school in December, where I will try and put in some long days of work to mix in with the partying with buddies who are back home for the holidays.

Anyways this post was just to kind of give an update on where I’m at, and also to help motivate me.  If someone can remind me to make a post at the start of December with my goals that’d be awesome

So this morning I was doing a bit of work (hungover ) and I got an awesome surprise in the form of an e-mail.  One of my casino affiliate program managers sent me an e-mail asking for my payment details – apparently I had roughly $1800 revenue in September at one of the casinos I promote there.

I only have this casino up on one of my sites, and it is a casino site that doesn’t even get much traffic (the casino site is Casino Depositing).  I never check stats for the affiliate program because I was expecting to have zero sign ups and no revenue.  It was probably the best surprise e-mail I’ve received.

I was already getting excited about getting into the casino affiliate side of things, and this gives me another motivational push.  I’ve heard from a lot from other affiliates about how much more money there is in casino affiliate programs vs poker affiliate programs, and I’m starting to see the difference. Play Roulette Online has also been generating some sign ups and a nice revenue so far in October.

If you haven’t started doing some casino affiliating I would suggest you get started!  And for those who have started recently but haven’t seen results yet – stick with it… it took me a while to get going to.  Have a good weekend everyone!
