I have just achieved a BIG milestone: $1,000/month!

I started Failory with zero or none knowledge on how to monetize a content site. During the last 16 months, I have been working on the project, publishing content, promoting the interviews, building new tools and sending weekly newsletters without receiving in exchange almost any money.

However, I can finally say that I have found a great way to monetize the project. In January I took a two-week holiday and couldn't work for two weeks on the project. Despite this, I was able to generate $750 (mostly came from affiliate links) becoming the month in which I made the biggest amount of money.

Now, having February started 2 days ago, I was already able to make $1,000! This came from three different sources:

• The Everything Package: In late December, I added to Failory an advertising package that consists in sponsoring the entire website and newsletter for one month. I was able to sell 4 of these packages for the next months. The one I sold for February meant $650.

• Advertisement on content pages: I was able to sell a $300 AD slot on every content page of Failory.

• Genm's Affiliate Program: Joining this program was the best decision I took in the last 6 months. Genm is a website in which you can hire apprentices that help you in your digital marketing campaigns 40 hours per month for only $49. I am personally using it and really like the site, so I joined their affiliate program and recommended the tool in Failory. This has meant $100 in December, $600 in January and already $50 in February.

So, $650 + $300 + $50 = $1,000!
