I wouldn't mind having a site (or a few sites) like that. I'm not surprised that some of the "make money" blogs are up for sale. It reminds me of the old saying, "those that can, do; those that can't, teach" (no disrespect to teachers :) but I'm trying to make a point). I don't believe a lot of the "make money" blogs' claims about how much they're making (and just buy my ebook all about how you can do it for the low, low price of $19.95). Well, enough of the rant. Thanks for publishing the numbers (and providing some ideas and motivation). ~ Steve, aka "trade show displays", the trade show guru's alter ego and day job ;) PS. I see you have an rss subscription option, but have you thought about or would you add a subscribe by email option? hi John,

The big thing that drives sales is <a href="http://websitebuilding.biz/hostingcoupons/">hosting coupons</a>. The coupons typically come out of the referral bonus / commission, but providing that discount really helps customers get the best price. This means more sales and happy customers - and it seems to work. I'm even thinking about taking the ads down from the sidebar, they just aren't creating conversions and they feel a little obtrusive. I'd imagine that more than half of the visitors here already have a site and more hosting probably isn't something they would buy on an impulse. Many other "products" and "services" for website owners are pretty shady unless you just happen to need a good writer, designer, developer, etc... (Maybe I'll look into a freelance referral operation or something) Yeah, I usually don’t give out personal statistics like this but lately I’ve seen some of these “make money blogs” up for sale and realized they’re bragging a whole lot about making much less than I am!

I only have about 75 to go to catch up. :) Second, I did a double-take when I read that this blog makes $600 a month (are you sure you want to let people know that?) Wow. Is it all from referring people to hosting companies (since you don't do the hosting yourself)? That's pretty amazing, and nice! ~ Steve, aka the impressed trade show guru hi John,
