I am back from vacation and plan on writing several Hubs about the experience. I will post the links on this blog when I get that done for those who might be interested. We had a great time especially in Cozumel where we swam with the dolphins as you can see from the accompanying picture. The sun was great that day!
Anyway, I thought I would report on the passive income that I received while away with no internet access. I will include the time from starting travel on Sunday, December 19th and count through this morning as I write this report. This is the time that I didn't do anything on the internet in relation to online income making all revenue totally passive.
This only counts AdSense income as I did not note how much I had earned on eHow prior to leaving. I do know that while away I had an Amazon order for a book but it hasn't shipped yet so I don't know how much that will earn. I expect it will be about 75 cents to a dollar.
I did receive decent levels of traffic while away, but traffic did decline between Tuesday and Christmas day. I am not surprised since I suspect many people had last minute preparations for the holidays. I was somewhat disappointed that I did have a few days with minimal revenue, but I did have 2 good days. The total for those 6 full days and 1 partial day was $10.93.
Overall, not that bad considering it is on par with what I might expect to earn for a 7 day period based on my recent monthly earnings. Needless to say, I plan on being able to increase this total over the next year and will write a post on this in the near future outlining my goals and plans. In the meantime, I have several days off work to be able to relax and write a little bit as well. I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays and is getting ready for a wonderful 2011.

I am looking forward to your posts on your vacation! I always like to hear what people like and dislike. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jan.
ReplyDeleteI will probably write about the dolphin swim first since that will be a whole article by itself. I will probably then write reflections on cruise #1 in 2008 and cruise #2 which we just finished and make comparisons. It may take a few days but I should be able to get them done by the time I have to return to work on Wednesday.
Happy to hear you had a good time on your vacation. My earnings (Google & EHow) went down a bit the week before Christmas too - that was to be expected. Looking forward to reading about your vacation. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deanna. Sorry to hear about your earnings but I suspect that a seasonal variation is to be expected. Hopefully I will get writing a little bit later this evening and publish a few pictures as well.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Kidgas. It looks like you and your family had a great time. That was such a good idea, going on a cruise for the holidays (and so much material to write about).
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a healthy and prosperous 2011.
Felicia,
ReplyDeleteThanks. We did have a great time. I also got plenty of ideas for articles at the same time. Maybe I should write off the trip. LOL.
Great blog. I found it by chance. I'll definitely be looking into your posts about earnings. Thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Glad you enjoy it.
