  Yes, the number in your headline isn't formatted in a way expected for a USD value. When seeing a figure like "$xxx,xx" it seems, to an American, that the ones digit must be missing ("$xxx,xxx").
  - kreci 17y ago
    Ups, sorry. I have formated it like people do in my country... In future post I will do it right :)
    - davidw 17y ago
      You have 2 hours, I think, to go back and edit it.
    - kreci 17y ago
      Fixed - thanks :)

  Raise your book price to $30, open an affiliate program, give $20 per sale to your affiliates. It worked for Aaron Wall's SEO Book.
  - kreci 17y ago
    I keep the price low to be available to all my blog readers ;)

r.e. your book. I bet that if you spent a little time on the design you would get a load more potential sales. I mean this kindly but the current page looks a little like one of the "EARN MONEY ONLINE!!!!" scam pages. Here is a great example that got posted here a little while back: http://createyourproglang.com/ http://createyourproglang.com/
- kreci 17y ago
  Yes your example is looking nice. But I think that the information that I sell is more important than a design...

    I don't want to sound like an asshole, but what "you think" here doesn't count for diddley-squat. What you've got is a perfect opportunity for A/B testing-- check out Patio11's blog or comments here for examples and details. You can (and should) be tweaking your page, and measuring the results of those tweaks. By keeping the tweaks that bring you better results (and rolling back the ones that don't), your conversion rate (and income) will continue to grow.
    - kreci 17y ago
      I am always tweaking my pages. Anyway I believe that good and interesting information is main key. Better than a beautiful graphics.
      - ErrantX 17y ago
        the problem is not that so much; it is more the fact that the page layout matches the sort of layout you get on one of the "make money online" scam type pages :) It might put people off, I don't know.
      - steveklabnik 17y ago
        But if your page looks bad, nobody will even start reading your information to find out that it's interesting. Don't discount marketing.

Argh. I read that as $662,260 because of the comma. Damn ingrained default US currency pattern recognition. Congrats, you seem to be diversifying your income streams.
- kreci 17y ago
  Thanks - I fixed the comma :)
mml 17y ago
There are many who independently made a lot more than that on a daily basis. Your obvious pride just makes you look rather silly. Keep it up though, working for SomeCorp is even sillier.
- kreci 17y ago
  I know there are many who make more. But it is what I made and I am proud of it =)

  Warren Buffett started his career going door to door selling chewing gum, Coca-Cola, and weekly magazines [1]. I'm sure he looked rather silly. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Buffett http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Buffett

Something I take from this (and it is very valuable) is not to expect to make a living from AdSense (or at least, that it is very hard!). Thanks for keeping us up to date :)
- kreci 17y ago
  You are right. My adsense is very low source of income when compare it to others.

I have to say, I remember reading your first post when you decided to do this stuff full time, and I didn't think doing just Adsense and Istockphoto would be enough to keep you afloat. It really seems though that you have the drive to do this, and it seems to be coming along for you, so I'm really happy to see that. Also, I'd love to see a post with tips about selling photos on istockphoto.
- kreci 17y ago
  Thanks for a great post idea. I will try to write something about it soon. Just stay subscribed... =P

Why is that the pagerank of your pagerank ebook page is 0? The book looked scammy to me because of that. And if it is totally whitehat why not list a few sample sites which used that method?
- kreci 17y ago
  I made a page where I sell my ebook just to sell my ebook. Check my blog PR and other of my sites :)
  - boundlessdreamz 17y ago
    http://www.kreci.net/ http://www.kreci.net/ is PR 3 http://www.minimotherboard.com/ http://www.minimotherboard.com/ is PR 1 http://www.madhostreviewer.com/ http://www.madhostreviewer.com/ is PR 2 http://tweetrandomizer.com/ http://tweetrandomizer.com/ is PR 4 It looks like PR 4 is the odd one out and not the norm
    - kreci 17y ago
      It is not the odd one and I exactly described how to got similar result. I have not done anything similar to my PR 1 and 2 sites. If you are not interested you don't have to buy the ebook... :)
      - boundlessdreamz 17y ago
        I was giving you feedback mate. I'm interested and i'm listing the reasons why I didn't buy it. I checked the PR of both your blog and the ebook page and it was below 4. And you are flipping the PR 1 and PR 2 sites. As said in your ebook page copy, higher PR means more money when flipping. Why wouldn't you invest the few hours to make it into PR 4. I'm sorry to say but your attitude is defensive and a turn off. To my comment and the other comments talking about design of the page, you come across as defensive. Anyway good luck!
    - kaffeinecoma 17y ago
      I'm an SEO newbie. Mind explaining how you get the Pagerank for a given site? I tried http://www.prchecker.info/check_page_rank.php http://www.prchecker.info/check_page_rank.php, but it never seems to have any information about my sites. My sites (all appspot apps) do appear to be indexed by google, and usually show up on the 1st or 2nd page of Google results (even after clearing my Google web history). Thanks! edit: to answer my own question: install the google toolbar.

Your istockphoto link appears to be broken: http://www.istockphoto.com/kreci http://www.istockphoto.com/kreci
- kreci 17y ago
  Link is ok - it looks that istock have server problems.
asimjalis 17y ago
Good work! That's $165.57 per day. Which is $60,473 per year! Nice.
- kreci 17y ago
  It would be great to keep such averages - but it was just a few of my best days like for now...
