As a general rule, I have a feeling for what’s coming in, moneywise. I know what most of my sites tend to bring in monthly and plan around that.

But there’s an exception to that, and it delighted me today with a surprise $1000+ commission check. Obviously a very nice surprise.

You see, one program I belong to doesn’t have a way for me to track my sales. I get checks pretty regularly from the company with records of my sales, but I can’t follow it online. Only the fact that they do pay well on sales keeps me going with them. Normally I do $50-100 per month with them.

So over $1000 was quite a pleasant surprise in today’s mail.

Of course I’m hoping that trend continues. That’s not a bad income at all for a site that doesn’t require tremendous maintenance. A little, sure, but less than many of my sites that earn less.

No, no clues as to niche or affiliate program. I get to keep some secrets!
