Payments for September 2006
Neonlights-Advertising $0.64
PolarPTR $1.77
eJury $8.00
PayPerPost $12.00
eBay $48.46
Total $70.87
Yearly Total $960.88
Online earning to a bit of a nose-dive this month, due to a massive drop in eBay sales. PTR earnings were, as usual, negligible.But since I now spend less than 10 minutes a day reading through the few interesting PTR emails I receive, that's to be expected.
The $12.00 from PayPerPost was a nice reward for writing a blog entry. I check there every few days to see if there are any other opportunities that I'm interested in, but I guess I'm pretty picky.
eBay profits were down to under $50 on just over $200 in sales. That's a BIG drop from the $150 in profit on $500 in sales we did last month, and I think that for the most part, it's a direct result of changes made at eBay. They've changed the way their search engine works, in favor of items for auction instead of items in an eBay store. We haven't been running a lot of auctions lately -- we were running one a week (with 3-5 items up for bid), and in September I think we only did one auction for the whole month.
But traffic to our eBay Store is way down, so I think if we want to get our sales and profits back up, we're going to have to do a lot more auctions. Like a lot of other eBay sellers, we've also been looking for alternatives to eBay, but so far we haven't found anything that even comes close.
