Share IH - Crossed 10$ mark first time from Google Ads on Side Project
Hi IHs,
Just wanted to share that Requestly (www.requestly.in) crossed 10$ within a day yesterday, 12 Sep 2018. This is one of the milestones I have been waiting for a long time.
Here is a screenshot from Google Adsense - https://imgur.com/gallery/ZyZARNr
Please let me know if someone needs/has advice in monetizing chrome extensions.
Congrats, $10 in one day using AdSense isn't bad!
I'm crossing my fingers that this will be repeated.
Thanks, @steinovehelset. Previous best was 9 something and that happened in June. Now, my next milestone is 200+/month on back to back months.
Out of interest, how much traffic are you getting in order to generate this much in AdSense revenue?
This is a really nice question and I am wondering why it came out so late.
Here is the Summary of traffic :-
Daily Page Views: ~4K (Weekdays) ~2.5K (Weekends)
Monthly Page Views: 100-110K
CTR (Click Through Rate): 0.20%
Number of Clicks: ~200/month
You can check the detailed traffic report from Google Analytics which I integrated into IndieHackers traffic report here - https://www.indiehackers.com/product/requestly/traffic
Congratulations!!!
Thanks man
Oh man I read that as $10K haha.
That's solid does that mean at least 365*$10 per year? Ha
Haha, @projectile_molecule. I wish 10K$ could happen but that's not definitely gonna happen by Ads. This is why I am going to launch premium features in the tool soon.
About your second question, No that does not mean 3650$ per year. Actually, my average is 6-7$ per day on weekdays and 2-3$ on weekends so on an average it is about 160-180$ per month. Based on this I get ~2K$ per year.
That's real money though man, it's great. I don't have "passive" income like this yet myself so props. Closest I got before was my YouTube content but I lost it(I was dumb and erased all of my videos).
Good luck with the new features. It feels nice having the external drive provided by people using your stuff/giving back feedback/demands(ransom /s)
Thanks @projectile_molecule. Yeah, I am constantly working on it to improve the user experience and providing new features.
What kind of youtube content did you create? Was it educational videos, entertainment related ? Which domain?
Do you mind sharing the rough numbers on how much you get with how many impressions in youtube ?
Sorry I don't really remember it was a long time ago like 5+ years. I was able to break the AdSense $100 payout threshold and actually get a payment from Google that was really cool.
The content was super niche about hobby electronics but the video that was most popular from me was a Google SketchUp demo video.
No problem. That's fine and all the best. I wish you pick up this one day again and rock :)
$2k is better than nothing! nice work!
Thanks man! It took me 4 years to reach here so yeah it feels great.
