Happy new year!

It's officially 2008 and it's time for a recap of our first official month as a blog. As you probably know by now, the basic idea behind this blog is to help affiliates to make their first dollar and then to hold their hand until they can walk on their own. So why not post about those people once they've cut their proverbial teeth on money making?

Although there aren't any super success stories yet, there are several people this blog has helped to earn their first buckaroo and therefore, I am making it resolution #1 for this blog to do an occasional post on success stories (stories where The Affiliate Toolbox has helped people to get where they are).

What good would the success of others be if The Affiliate Toolbox itself didn't earn some cash on the way? That's why, in the fashion of John Chow, I will post monthly updates on the previous month's earnings. That's resolution #2 for this year. You'll be able to check up on them in the Recap category. For now, here are the stats for December '07:

• Google AdSense - $4.54
• Aweber Signups - $7.98

... for a grand total of $12.52.

It won't seal my retirement, but it's not bad for a site that is austere in its presentation of advertising. If not inspiring, it is evidence of how you can go from zilch to paying for your own server fees inside of a month.

We'll see how January fairs.
