Last day of the year. This year wasn’t good for my travel sites. Adsense earnings took a big hit due to the COVID crisis. The sites are in bad shape now because I neglected them in the last 6 months. With the end of 2020 this crisis is far from over. I don’t know if the upcoming holiday season will be busy again. It won’t be like normal times but possibly air travel and holiday season will be active again. We will have to wait and see.
For now, the adsense income report for December:
€ 841,22
The adsense income report for 2020:
€ 15.070,64
That is still an average of € 1.255,89 a month. I thought it really sucked this year but this is not really bad at all. Still a very nice addition to my normal job income. I do hope I will break € 20.000,00 next year though.
Blogging plans
I will come up with new blogs, more than just income reports. This blog will get a redesign and will have structured posting. I will write down the plan in the first week of 2021 and share it with you.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin has my interest again. It surged big time the last few months and is at a high of € 23.750,00 right now. I wrote about it back in January 2017 when it was just around $ 1.000,00. If I only bought some back than 🙂 I just own a small portion of Bitcoin but I like the idea of it. The last few weeks I have been reading a lot about it and also got a small portion of Ethereum. This new digital money is evolving. What do you think of Bitcoin and digital currency?
Cheers on 2021
I hope you are all healthy and doing well, for now I want to wish you a good ending of 2020 and a great beginning of 2021. Lets make some money in 2021! Cheers!
At the beginning of each month, I come here to check your updates, it motivates me to start serious blogging!
From your experience, is it worth buying ready sites and work on them?
Thanks!
Hi Benmiloud, great to see a comment from you again!
Do you mean fresh created sites? Or websites that are idle for many years and getting no visitors at all.
If its the first: I like to create them myself.
If you can buy a site with a history, go ahead. I bought several sites that were online for a few years but not making any money. The SEO stats can help your other sites as well. The best sites are the sites that you make on your own though.
Sites with existing income are a great buy but they cost money. The suitcase site I bought for € 2.000 made € 100 at the time or purchase. I tried to improve it but didn’t really work (with covid), sales were off. I listed it and sold it for € 4.500 to my surprise. So flipping can also work.
Did you buy any sites or are you planning to do so?
Hi Nomar,
I hope that you are doing well. I tried to buy one but I didn’t succeeded :D, I offered 34times monthly income but the seller changed his mind. In fact, it was me who proposed buying the website from him.
Could you please suggest markets with websites for sale?
You site is very clean and I look forward to seeing its new design :))
Thanks for sharing useful information!
