Over 2 months has passed since my last update on November 11th, and I’ve been very busy, so I’ll be breaking up my updates into separate posts.   Within the next 2 months, I will have officially quit my day job in order to start building my own company, and to pursue my various online business ideas.  Back in December, I also got heavily into CPC marketing so I have quite a lot to write about on how I’ve made my first $15,000 in CPC marketing.

Since my last posting was about WidgetBucks, I thought I’d continue on that topic by updating on my November, December and January earnings.  WidgetBucks has gone through some big changes in that time - by their description, in order to keep their traffic value up in order to offer high CPC revenues.  In essence what happened was that they cut back on CPC revenue and referral commissions, and by January my CTR had been cut in half.

So, as before I ran WB in a typically low CTR game screen, and saw revenues of $61.62 in November, $88.13 in December and $47.70 in January, despite seeing a 10% increase in traffic per month.   As of today I’ve taken down WB in favor of running some CPA offers through NeverBlueAds.  I’ll update at the end of the month on the differences between CPC and CPA marketing in this ad space.
