Having a website or blog costs money (hosting, domain name, etc). But you can also make some money. Can is the key word.
Here’s how much I made on my blog in 2011.
$2.08 from Amazon Affiliate sales
$21.00 from DreamHost sales
$34.65 from Standard Theme sales
That comes to a whopping grand total of $57.73.
During that time I wrote 18,000 words on my blog, enough for a short e-book. (In 2010 I wrote twice what I wrote in 2011, enough for a standard book.)
So I made $0.0032 per word I wrote…big baller status!
In 2012 I hope to write 40,000 words while increasing my income. Lets see how I do.
