Monthly Report – October 2011

November 7, 2011 - Last Modified: April 1, 2014 by Hesham Zebida 2,115

Monthly Report - October 2011

Last October was the best month ever, I’ve done a record with my online business earnings, things went great, and I diffenately was blessed, I say this because my Lady Mother spent the whole month with me, she had to fly back to Egypt at the end of October, I must say that those were my best days ever in the States. October was an extremely busy month, and I was having a lots of work to do plus managing the blog, but this didn’t stop me from spending great time with family. It’s also a great feeling to fly whenever you want, I actually spent an awesome weekend in Philadelphia,  New Jersey and finally New York.

I made big earnings compared to the last months, and I spent almost all the money here and there, buying stuff and not thinking about tomorrow for the first time 🙂

And, here I am sharing my October monthly report as I’ve promised you last month in my September monthly report, also here is a link to my my first report ever, this means the report you are reading now is my third report this year.

The good thing is I am able to enhance thes income reports as we go, hopefully more useful and inspiring for you.

Just to remind you why I am doing this, it’s because many of my blog readers asked me about my blog earnings, and they wanted to know how much I earn online, so I thought to share it all on the blog. However, It wasn’t an easy decision, I won’t regret it if these reports adds value for you.

The most important things going on right now!

Before I start, I would like to give you a hint about the most important stuff going on FamousBloggers between August and September.

1- Ask the Experts

This is something pretty new here at FB. I was inspired by Nick Stamoulis when he offered to answer our reader’s SEO questions. And, right after that I got in touch with Ann Smarty, she did an awesome Guest Blogging Q&A, check it out!

These are pretty nice and useful ideas for blog posts, I am going to do more of it here on the blog, I also can allow our readers to recommend the guest and the topic, so you can choose (who and what). This could be a great source of information, and also a lot of fun 🙂

It’s simple, we published a post to get questions, we close comments after one week, then our guest answer these questions in a new blog post. If you would like to be featured on FamousBloggers, and if you can answer our reader’s questions in a specific topic, get in touch with me.

I’ve created a special category to list these posts, it’s  called “the Experts“, I am going to list all the coming Q&As in it for your future reference.

2- Best Selling Affiliate Products contest

The other thing that I want to highlight is the extending of the blog contest to November.

So, the entries submission is still open, and will be closed at the end of November 2011. This contest has $2000 in cash prizes from our sponsors, so make sure not to miss it!

Check the progress of our → Blogging Contest

[box type=”note”]Before we get into business, I just want to inform you that these numbers demonstrate my online business income as a whole, so this is not FamousBloggers.net income, this is my whole income and expenses.[/box]

Let’s get into business

Here is a list of my income resources from October 2011:

My Thesis Skins Business

ThesisAwesome.com has been my main stream of income since the last 9 months with more than $20.000 of income so far, you can say that this website can draw a smile on my face every morning; it’s so sweet to wake up and find out that you’ve made a few sales while sleeping.

  • ThesisAwesome.com
    • Sales: $3,528.00 (before affiliate commissions)
    • Paid Commissions: $794.70
    • Profits: 2,733.30

I was planning to move the affiliate program to ShareASale.com because I want to organize the affiliate payouts to be on time without having to worry about it. I know it’s kinda expensive to join such network now, but still paying $650 to get a better service for your business and members is not a bad deal, but I decided to ask my members first, I didn’t want to surprise them with something that they maybe won’t like, and finally I made a decision, I will not make the move now as most of member’s feedback was against the move, the main reason was SAS late payouts, they prefer the in house application because I handle payouts more faster, anyways.. members wins!

If you are up to affiliate marketing and you like to promote Thesis Theme, then we maybe can work together, why not join the awesome affiliate program, let’s start earning money.

As you you can see from the numbers above, my business expenses went higher with $43.24, while I earned an extra $1519.82 more than the last month.

These stats helps me to realize what I am doing, and what to focus on, I don’t see that expenses is high this month or anything because I haven’t really spent anything unusual on the business rather than buying the BlogEngage Business Plus package, I think it has a great value for the price, you should check it out!

Net Total in September : $6,899.94

[box type=”note”]The number you see above reflect my online business profit. Also, these are not the exact numbers, it could be lower or higher with a few dollars (for example: I didn’t pay attention to PayPal fees)[/box]

Alright, you’ve got it all, my income, my expenses and my net total profit. My total income increased by $1519.82 this month, this is pretty awesome, I hope to reach the $10,000 monthly next year.

You can see how much I earn live on my → income report page.

I was having big doubts about October earnings, I thought I won’t make it, but as I’ve told you before, I now feel that I was blessed!

Thanks for reading, wish me good luck, and I hope this month’s report will inspire you.

  2. Tina says:
    Thanks for sharing, you seem honest and genuine. This is all so new to me. A friend suggested I look into blogging because of what I shared about my passion for writing and research and specific topics, What resources would you refer me to for doing my initial research about social networking and blogging since I am older and don't know much about either.
    • Hesham Zebida says:
      Hi Tina, There is a lot of great blogs out there, so I will make this short and give you the best recommendation I can. To learn about social networking and social media, I highly recommend you visit SocialMediaExaminer.com, and by the way they have a fantastic community clubs for blogging, business and social media that will help you connect right away with many awesome and friendly people, and it's free to join. Probably the best community out there. In addition to that I suggest you take a look into our Blogging section, there is a lot to read by our several authors. I hope this helps.

    It is nice to see someone post real numbers. I know some sites say they made some money this month or that month, but they usually don't tell you how much. At least it shows others it's possible, and you seem to be posting legit numbers that aren't fabricated that is great. Keep up the awesome work. Hopefully next month is even more.

    • Gregory Ciotti says:

  22. Michael Aulia says:
    Wow, those are some awesome figures, especially seeing how you focus more on subscribers, loyal visitors alike and not on search engines' too much I really have to move from my comfort zone and open up a new service or something to earn as much as you!
  23. Robert says:
    They're some great figures man, well done! You'll find that once things start to take off, it only get's better quicker. You've put in most of the hard ground work to get where you are now, well done!
  24. Shiva says:
    Wow, Hesham, congrats on getting such a income through your efforts in your online Business. Great to see that your Thesis Skin business is doing great. These kind of income report inspires us bloggers to keep on working hard. Keep up the good work
  25. Jawad says:
    Hi Hesham, Its nice to see your earning is increasing. But I am really astonished you are as much limited after having all the knowledge that you can use to make several times more than this. I used to work as freelancer and had a Google Adwords Certified Company. But last year I started affiliate marketing in September and got involved in several niches. My income for the first 10 months of 2011 is little over $110,000. And this is all from the traffic I got from Google. Get into more things man. You have the potential. Jawad
    • Hesham Zebida says:
      Hi Jawad , I am looking to increase my earnings in the coming year, some times it's hard to achieve more with the business model you've chosen! Thanks for taking time to motivate me, and thanks for sharing your story! I really appreciate it!
  26. bbrian017 says:
    Hello Hesham, I’m very pleased to see you posting your revenues. I think it’s a great way to motive and encourage your readers to continue blogging and to keep their heads up. As we both know making money online from blogging is hard built it is possible if you keep trying hard to succeed. I’m hoping you eventually get to join Affiliate Lights and promote the Blog Engage RSS Services. I’m thinking you will have much success doing this so maybe some time when you’re ready to give it a go you can sign up. Congrats on the great earnings my friend you have worked hard to get here where you are and you deserve it every little bit!
  27. Steve says:
    Hesham, Congrats. ONce again great results. For some reason I always love reading these earning pages an sharing in peoples success. I was particularly fond of your "experts" series this month with Nick and Anne. Great stuff, I hope those will keep going. -Steve
  28. Jim Calaman says:
    Hi, Thanks for sharing your earnings info. It is motivating info and yours seem to be increasing rapidly. How do you manage so many revenue streams at once? I am just trying to focus on adsense and amazon and it is very time consuming. Thanks, Jim
  29. Apple says:
    .it always encourage me to move forward and emulate the big successful bloggers..Great..!!
  30. Saket Jajodia says:
    Great..!! Congo..!! Seems you had lots of fun with your family and it must have become double when your income increased from last month..
  31. Tushar Agarwal says:
