December 2011 Income Report

January 7, 2012 by  
Filed under Learn about Making Money

November Total Profit= $158.48

ACP Business 50% Ownership= $2200.00 / 2 = $1100

  • Direct ad revenue, CPC and affiliate sales from PUA Lingo
Honeyplex Business= $112.75
  • ebook sales
Expenses=  -$1,054.27
  • Linkbuilding budget
  • fiverr gigs
  • odesk and elance projects outsouced
Lessons:
  1. We made bank on PUA Lingo this month, mostly thanks to increased traffic. We’re getting about 7000 visits a day. Posts like this help with organic link bait and referral traffic. It is also the first time we broke $2k / month.
  2. Seduce With Style has taken a hit, with decreased ads on Lingo and also, some affiliates dropping out. I’ve also stopped promoting it regularly as I step into production for SWS 2.0.
  3. Had some ideas pass by about creating an ongoing style technique membership site, and also, the production costs for SWS 2.0 is starting to take its toll, eating into profits this month. Developing a full system / product while working a full time job simply isn’t easy. Weekends need to be sacrificed to make due. At the same time, if you stay home all day and work after the 9-5, you quickly need to release tension by going out. Casual said something interesting at lunch on Friday, “Hm. It’s not that I don’t like work. It’s not bad. It just takes too much time.”

Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back. -Harvey MacKay

 

November 2011 Income Report

November Total Profit= $517.57

ACP Business 50% Ownership= $450.00

  • Direct ad revenue, CPC and affiliate sales from PUA Lingo
Honeyplex Business= $567.57
  • $154.91 ebook sales
  • $272.75 ebook sales
Expenses= $500
  • Linkbuilding
  • Outsourcing video production of sales page
inDinero Account
Lessons:
  1. There this new service called “inDinero”. Pretty cool – auto links to Paypal and your bank accounts, and automatically does accounting for you based on your revenue and expenses. However it isn’t as smart as your accountant – it counts returns in Paypal twice, and on e-lance, there are many projects that need to be re-edited and each time I do it, it counts the total $$$ amount again as costs. In reality, my profit this month in Nov was about $1200 and expenses just over $500.
  2. My expenses have gone up significantly because of my recent investments in linkbuilding and product creation for SWS 2.0. These are one-time costs as we prepare for launch. Normally your online business expenses are minimal, 10% if that.
  3. I still think we are WAY under-utilizing PUA Lingo, given its immense traffic count. However, this is a business that is shared with my business partners and I simply don’t have time to focus on it while I grow SWS and the Honeyplex business.

Lessons:
  1. Sometimes you just need cash to invest in things – this incurs expenses
  2. Things are looking good but I just need to spend money to build the foundation for SWS 2 before money comes in in large flows.
