Sorry for the delay in getting these totals up, I’m dealing with a viral infection which has cause some asthma symptoms. I’ve been ordered to rest as much as possible. Not easy with 4 kids, and busy schedules.

Here are my total ad sales for January.

$9.27

$11.77

$22.90 (from your comments!)

$1.05

$3.75

Total ad revenue= $48.74

Who says blogging is a good income producer? Not me. ;)

I did get paid as well for some work I did in December, so I am rounding up to $50, and doubling it. I have also had some offers to double my contributions, so I will be in touch with those people and update you as I hear back.

It’s not a lot, but it’s something. The reality is blogging is a lot of work for very little income when you start out, and I’m hoping as my income grow I will be able to donate more frequently to causes I care about.

A donation will be made for $100 in the name of The Centsible Life readers to the American Red Cross. Thanks all for your comments, and support this month.

    Your ad totals blow mine out of the water :)

    Yeah, most of the bloggers I talk to indicate that it takes quiet a while to gain decent traction before ad revenue really takes off. Slow and steady wins the race.
