January has come to an end and in my usual way, I am blogging about my blog stats. Although … you will find these updates will be more like “anti-blog” updates in 2010. Interested? Hope so.
I am tired of sitting at a laptop stressing over blogging stuff all the time. I’d like to pursue other diversions like finishing my Herman Hesse Novel, “Demian” and re-reading my favorite books in college, the U.S.A. series by John dos Passos. But hey, if I can still make money doing it once in a while, or even when I’m AWAY from the comp … I’M GAME! Stay tuned to see what “downsizing” will actually occur and how that may affect income. My goal is to do almost nothing and make the same or more money each month at blogging. Not likely you say? You’re probably right. We’ll see … First, the good old acronym I have measured my blog(s) progress with since 2007:
C: circulation (# of backlinks)
A: analytics (# of visitors)
N: net (# of dollars earned)
I’m breaking down my stats by circulation and analytics.
My Net income “N” for all three blogs in January was:
Sponsored posts: $118.31
Adsense: $ 47.96

Total: $166.27

Reflections on January 2010: As I stated in the intro to this post, I am in scaling back mode. I want to spend much less time on blogging in 2010. Fear not however because I think my “scaled down” is more time than most people ever spend blogging. Still, you will probably get more about my vacations, movies, love affair with my wife, and how good my new gum flavor tastes than posts that seek to make money in 2010.
I always hope money will come but I really want to get away from all the tired, boring things people do with their blogs to make money. My ultimate goal is to just write on one by 2011. That alone would alleviate a lot of energy burnout. So what about you? What do you think about these blog stats? How are yours?

” My goal is to do almost nothing and make the same or more money each month at blogging.
I like the way you think! I hope you’ll keep us posted when you reach your goal and maybe even through a few tips to we followers. As for me, I haven’t tried to earn income through blogging but I have considered trying. Your total net income for the past three years (it is a total for three years, right? 2007-2009) is leading me reconsider, given that yours is a popular, respectable blog and you have spent a lot of blogtime working it. So I might just be saying thank you for sparing me frustration and disappointment?

@sandy: Thanks Sandy. $3,110 was my 2009 blogging income. Not sure what you are asking. The year before was a couple hundred less than that. I appreciate the good vibes. Keep it easy I say.
