My most recent blog post here on WA talks about making $5,000 in one month through online writing and affiliate marketing. Well, I sold the eHow articles that were bringing in the bulk of that through ad revenue shares and affiliate links, and have turned my focus to two websites.

I'm now generating just under $1,500 a month in residual income. 

One website, which I began in December 2008, is on a pets-related topic. It earns $500- $1,000 a month from ads and affiliate commissions. I'm currently redesigning the site template and layout to improve usability and decrease my bounce rate, all in an effort to attract better Google rankings and more traffic.

The other site is in a  home/ family niche and  began it just over a year ago, after finishing the Wealthy Affiliate training. It has had some great months and while the commissions are large from the main products I sell there, I need to boost traffic to see significant earnings consistently. It currently earns about $300- $500 a month. 

I'll update as I improve my sites, add content, and gain traffic from the search engines. My goal is to be earning $5,000 a month by next October.
