   17 RSS subscribers, no ads and no affiliate programs in site, not to mention NO traffic, no pagerank and no visitors and you think anyone is dumb enough to think you made 3k your first month.

   Hi Bill,

   Thanks for your comment. Make sure to read my response later this week. I think you’ll be surprised.

   If I were lying, why wouldn’t I falsify my stats? After all, I could just as easily say I have much more traffic and many more subscribers. There is little doubt I am not going to reach my subscriber goal by April 1st–why lie about and inflate my income and while posting dismal traffic stats? If I were wanting to lie why wouldn’t I lie about both?

   I have to say I’m skeptical as hell, with the stats as shown - anyways, will be eagerly awaiting the post as if it is true (innocent till proven guilty ) that is pretty brilliant and I’m obviously not doing enough with my own blog

   Jason,

   Anyone should be skeptical.

   Oh, and I just received another $597.00 today. That makes the total around $4,500.00 give or take.

   Hopefully when I post about the details tomorrow it will do a couple things:

   1. It will open people’s eyes to new strategies for monetizing their own blogs - and -
   2. It will motivate more people to take action

   We’ll see.

   (Maybe Bill will come back–even though he tried to post anonymously, I have a pretty good idea who he is and asked him to come. Maybe he will.)

   I am here. I thought I had linked back but the dropdown box must have gone blank.

   My choice of words might not have been the best but honestly I would have to say there is not much in the world that would convince me you made 4500 bucks from this blog with the stats you have.

   38 Awebers at a typical conversion rate of what say around 2% (the norm) yields you 1 buyer of whatever it is you are selling.

   Sorry….my choice of words is better tonight but my opinion is the same.

   Thank you Bill for owning you comments. Are you willing to retract your words if I convince you I have earned about $4,500 from this blog in March? That would be only fitting based on your onerous statements.

   I can’t do math! $2,900 + $600 is $3,500, not $4,500. I’ll have the exact figures later today.
