May was tough, and when I say tough, I mean super busy! I was preparing for both of my daughters last days of school, attending blogger events, writing reviews for clients, advertising my other blog, and plus my full time job. I'm exhausted! But busting my butt has really paid off because my earnings has really been skyrocketing! If you're a blogger, never give up because you can truly make a full time income if you put the time and effort into it. You must love what you do in order to be successful. Although I'm working on getting more sponsored post to supplement my online income, affiliate marketing income will always be my main because it is passive. I put completing online surveys on the back burner except Pinecone Research because I'm way too busy to do them. Part of my goal this year was to complete online surveys and not cash out until the end of the year to use the money for Christmas shopping. Hopefully I could get back to doing them soon since I've started outsourcing some of my work to help me free up some of my work load. Here are my totals for May: 1. Panthera Network- $3,617.16
2. Escalate Network- $473.43 3. ROI Rocket- $523.35 4. MaxBounty- $329.80 5. Squidoo- $18.27 6. Google Adsense- $131.06 7. Focus Group- $25 Amazon Gift Card 8. McCormick Consumer Testing- $15 Amazon Gift Card Grand Total- $5133.07 Now this is the best online earnings to date! But I will say that with Panthera Network since they had gone to a new system recently, $1,158.61 was due to me in April and since they were delayed, they paid me it in May along with my May earnings. I think since I've been blogging on ProductReviewMom.com and I'm a bit more personal on there, it really helped me with my earnings and made me more trustworthy with my readers. I always make sure to answer any of their questions and help them with their needs. By doing this, they reshare my blog to their friends and family and it becomes a cycle. One blog post over there has over 15,000 reshares through social networks. So being personable will really help you succeed with your online income ventures. I have been invited to more local events and been meeting a lot more local bloggers in my area. It's great the friendships I made with other bloggers. I always thought that we wouldn't connect or I was just too scare to meet offline but attending events helps to introduce myself in person and develop connections. Also attending events I could start networking with brands and you never know, I may end up getting into a high paying campaign. If you would like to see the events I attended, make sure visit my events page or Instagram. Well everyone, I need to get back to work, I have a lot of writing and reviews to do. I hope you had a great month of earnings in May, and cheers to June! Happy Earnings! -Louida

Wow!!!! Considering I have only about $35 pending in Adsense I am in amazement!! Congrats! I started my blog as a hobby not a business but so impressed with the potential and success of other bloggers! What I have come across thou is that there doesn't seem to be many avenues for making $ in my particular niche especially as a non mom non family blogger. I do hope to get some perks at some point thou! Lol

Nadeen, you'll need to start joining affiliate programs. Find a company that you can earn money promoting wines. I know ROI Rocket has a affiliate offer for a wine company.

Thank you for being so up front and personal, too many online marketer make it seem all to easy. Its refreshing, to here you say that there is hard work involved.

I hate it when people lie and say you can make millions overnight, that is simply not true or we would all be rich. Making money online takes hard work, trial and error, and a lot of learning. If you keep at it and learn what works for you then you can start making a living online.

Love your site. I am trying to get into blogging and making money passively but I find myself being too passive. Any suggestions?

This is awesome. I am really trying to monetize now myself and I am learning a lot from you. I am looking into joining some of the programs you have here and I am going to share this post with other bloggers I know who are looking to make more money!! Having a work at home blog, there is really not much to advertise, as you know! I am going to concentrate on my homeschooling and parenting blogs a little more now as well. They don't have the ranking and traffic my work at home one does though....

That is why I stopped with just a work from home type blog, there is not much you can do with it and no blogger perks from it. I do make money from it but not as much as my mom blog. I have so much more fun on ProductReviewMom.com because I get to do so much and always have content to share, plus I'm much more personal on there and my readers enjoys that. My traffic on there keeps growing and my money is growing with it.
