ShoeMoney In Business Week

ShoeMoney BusinessweekI had like 18 emails in my inbox this morning congratulating me on the business week article… only I had no idea what they were talking about. Then after looking at web refers I found this article on the top money making blogs on the internet. They not only mention this blog in the article but also AuctionAds and Nextpimp. Very cool!

I am really really proud to be mentioned in the same breath as the other bloggers on there. Very cool to see my friend Darren Rowse profiled as the one of the 14 bloggers chosen for this also ;)

    I wonder who got more reades – Business Week through the link on Shoemoney.com, or Shoe through the link on BusinessWeek?

  5. Chris

    that’s a great article–it’s still online–I’ve read it several times for motivation. congrats to you for being mentioned.

  6. RacerX

    I know SEO can be a dirty word..but gosh that picture has paid off! I bet it generated more traffic $ then the amount shown. Good for you!

  7. CatherineL

    Pardon my ignorance, but what caused the hacking risk?

  8. Adam Holland

    Congrats Jeremy !!!!

  9. Affiliate Marketing Podcast

    Hopefully one day I’ll be in that list. ;)

    ~Dave

  10. QuarterWiki

    Wait, isn’t Auction Ads his site?

  11. QuarterWiki

    Lol… I think Jeremy can handle himself.

  12. QuarterWiki

    who hack who?

  13. Abry.biz

    Congrats Jeremy !

  14. Abry.biz

    Congratulations Jeremy

  15. Amanda

    Congratulations! I have always loved your blog. I noticed that your link is not the “right” one. It should be http://images.businessweek.com/ss/07/07/0714_bloggers/index.htm.
    The BW slideshow section uses frames. I tryed to get them to fix it but they obviously haven’t. Sometimes I wonder why I even try…

  16. $1000 Dollar Project

    congrats on the good press and thanks for auctionads! i’m starting to reap the rewards too

  17. safesurfer

    You should get a real-life printout of that legendary photo and put it somewhere in your living room. It has made history in the affiliate/webmaster community already.

  18. Gecko Tales

    This is better than waking up to find that you have made bad news.

  19. Nick Sullivan

    That’s awesome. Congratulations (hate the abreviation of congrats).

  20. Chris

    hehe.. always that same picture again :)

  21. printnpost

    WHO HOOO!..Just made my 1st Adzoogle sale! Thanks shoe for the motivation to get me started!…

  22. BloggingDosh

    Nice One! Your really deserve this coverage

  23. Michael Fultz

    Thanks for giving blogging a good rep!

  24. Joeychgo

    LOL – and it will show up for awhile still.

  25. Grivon

    Lol, ready for the personal privacy barrier to be broken shoe?! You’re becoming a celebrity! Agreed that you have a cool wife though, it’s not everyday that women are so trusting! congrats!!

  26. chrisblogging.com

    I cant believe this article is still circulating around the net. I have probably seen it on 15 blogs, and of course, I added it to mine!

  27. Nathan Hannig

    Jeez that picture is showing up everywhere, I wish I could hold it now :)

  28. Study Guide

    You are not #1 there though, kind of disappointing. But then again, you don’t earn the real money by blogging anyway.

  29. eTown Landlord

    Big congrats on the biz week article. I was away on vacation and looking forward to reading it.

  30. aRo`

    i’m sure the figures are incorrect.

    it’s really great for him, you really could see a spike in his feeds subscription :)

  31. Joseph

    You Rocks! check rocks!

  32. realnewoffice.blogspot.com

    Congrats on your exposure. Which is the best method of making money from your blog, if I don’t want too many ads on my site?

  33. Paul.

    They left out a lot of blogs that are better than some that were mentioned.

  34. the 60 second daily money tip

    Congratulations – I found out about your blog from http://www.johnchow.com Lots of great articles to read.

    Cheers!

  35. ciken

    Congratulations!! Shoe..You’re the King!

  36. lori Smith

    Hi . I’m inspired. I am a virgin blogger. My blog just went live. ANd I have a know in my stomach! I feel like I don’t really know my blog yet..and it doesn’t know me , but we definately want to hook up!! I’m coming back to your site alot to learn as much as I can. Thanks for sharing what you know. That’s a wonderful thing.

    lori smith

  37. macewan

    The Daily Show is getting ready to start so I’ll keep it short by saying hats off to you and congratulations.

    cheers

  38. macewan

    well, guess that answered our question.

  39. Joeychgo

    I would suspect it would be more venture capitolists and larger companies looking to improve their online presence seeking him out then individuals. That Magazine isnt read by your average Joe

  40. The Dino

    Nice to be there in this mag. That is just pitty that they dont give you free backlink.

  41. Ouchs

    i bet lots of people who come across this article will be inspired to make money online like you

  42. Ouchs

    wow you need to diversify your revenue on your site! .45/day is way too damn low for 8000 uniques a day!

  43. Ouchs

    try thousands/a day

  44. Ouchs

    i think the girls what a apict with Shoe :)

  45. Ouchs

    that’s really a great accomplishment

  46. WeblogHits.com

    I think there is an error in the article. I don’t think Jeremy makes $12k only from this blog. 20,000 uniques/day is only 600,000/month. I just don’t buy it. Considering Jeremy didn’t know he was going to be in the article, I think the figures are incorrect… as far as revenue just from shoemoney.com. But, maybe I’m wrong… anyone want to validate the article’s claim? ahem… :)

  47. yanni

    I wish my site http://www.myfxreport.com would earn half what you earn!

  48. Stuart Hannig

    Wow, congrats are in order.

  49. Affiliattack.com

    A worthy article no doubt, now if Shoemoney would only be so kind as to divulge the tools he uses to parse and import his 200,000 long keyword lists into google adwords editor…buwawawawah!

  50. Rick

    Dude i remember the old days when you just had google check and some before and after pictures – now BusinessWeek!.. Shoemoney is making the big time now!

    Although i dont think BW is post worthy since they didnt send a t-shirt.. rules are rules

    Congrats

  51. Freebies

    I’m confused. Who got hacked now?

  52. printnpost

    Ok..I had a good laugh today..i was trying to explian making money online and adsense to a friend and brought up your site nextpimp and my friend was like..O yeah, I use that site!…he followed with my sister told me about it!.

    Need I say more! :)

  53. Chris Jones

    I read the article and discovered your site as a result. I am a fellow blogger, and your story is a real inspiration. Nice work!

  54. Small Biz Blog

    That is so awesome! I can’t imagine the feeling of discovering that. It kind of set the mood for the rest of the day, huh?

  55. Tele-Millionaire?

    I’ve been watching your for a while and have loved your blog. Your clear writing and no-nonsense “everyday” approach to blogging and writing has helped me alot. You truly deserve the publicity. Thanks again for all your work.

  56. Pedro Sardinha

    Congrats :)
    AuctionAds was really an amazing idea :)

  57. Mick

    Just saw the Business Week article and decided to take a look at the sites mentioned. Yours is new to me. One comment only:

    Learn the difference between “there” and “their” fcol.

  58. chrisblogging.com

  61. Deelip

    Its pretty hard to believe.
    She should at least put some ads for that loss amounts if not for profit.

  62. Deelip

    Hello, congratulation.
    I thought johnchow earns more than you, but I didnt even see him in the list.

  63. kalen

    this is my first time reading your blog but i’m liking what i’m seeing so far :) pretty cool about that article, you celeb you!

  64. greg

    Because he’s smart, and has a very cool wife.

  65. Jason

  73. tom huveners

  77. Martin

    Congratulations, man! You’re my inspiration.

  78. Mark Hankins

    Big congrats! You and Markus Frind are my heroes right now.

  79. Clara Franks

    Shoemoney,
    Don’t you have a adorable little girl and an amazing wife??? Then why do all of your “work trip” pictures include yourself with hot chicks!! Just something I was pondering…..~Clara

  80. webd360

    Congratulations! That is an awesome accomplishment.

  81. Paul.

    I read it as well. Good times and free promos.

  82. Bloggrrl

    I found this blog due to that article, and I’m glad I did. Good for you!

  83. Leonid Shalimov

    Just read the article. Congratulations. Really good stuff, you deserve it:).

  84. Coop

    Just curious Shoe,
    If you only spend 30 min. writing for your blog…What do you do with the rest of your day?

    Best,
    Coop

  85. androo

    congrats…! next you need to make the cover!

  86. jms

    not sure shoe is, but are you ready to be hacked??? sort it out…

  87. Rogers Place

    yes the business article was nicely written.

  88. TheHostHunter

    Yeah that’s what they said. Their math suggests Shoe is pulling ins 400k/month total. Wowza! :)

  89. Joeychgo

    Absolutely! The squeeky wheel aways gets the grease!!

  90. andrew

    Even with a ctr of .5% you would be making more than 2 dollars a month. Blend your ads better.

  91. Webanalyticsbook

    Uppss…missed the month in the article! Congrats Shoe!

  92. chrisblogging.com

    Congratulations! I just finished the article, and it is well done to say the least!

  93. adamz

    Shoe,

    Granted you work harder than anyone I know to be recoginized,which is most likley the reason you had been selected. The squeeky wheel! Honestly your gross revenue is not a big deal in our industry nor is how your co has grown in the past 2 years. I can site 20 co’s with fewer than 5 employee’s that have grown 3 times your co’s growth in the same period.

    Anyway congrats on the stride..Not bad for a turkey neck..

  94. Travel Notebook

    Great article, congrats man.

  95. Todd

    Yeah there’s the blog world and then theres the mainstream media world, thats a whole different bucket of traffic to monetise ;)

  96. Ed

    Hey Jeremy thanks for sharing that with us, it really has inspired me a great deal.

  97. SonicReducer

    It’s always cool when the mainstream media notices our little world. Nice work.

  98. Jeba

    Congratulations shoemoney.. Great going.. All the best for your future plans :-) .

  99. Street Attack

    congradulations….well done!

  100. Virgin

    Congrats Jeremy, you deserve it. I was shocked to find out how much Perez Hilton makes monthly.

  101. Peter

    I’d like to know how you can possibly make $12000 a month from your visitors. I been entertaining 8000 uniques a day for 5 years – this week I made $0.45!

    Have you ever posted on how you do this?

  102. Ali

    Congrats Man!

  103. Fable

    Congrats on the Business Week article, Shoemoney! :)

    Steve

  104. CatherineL

    Congratulations. It’s great that many bloggers are achieving celebrity status.

  105. Funny t shirts

    Congrats on the new exposure (not like you need it though, lol)

  106. Michael Fultz

    Keep up the good work!!! You’ve earned it! Now, mabye they’ll give you a free subscription! Then again, mabye they’ll give you one of those clock radio thingies.. no that’s Time.. mabye a free ball gag? No, that’s some S&M magazine.. oh, I forgot its name.. I’ve got a copy around here somewhere.. oh, in the bathroom.. I’ll be back.. in like an hour or so…

  107. Hone

    Michelle Malkin claims to be running her blogs at a loss even though she gets 220,000 page views per day.

    It’s because of her powerful servers you see.

    Sounds like a bit of a tax dodge to me.

  108. Brandon

    Congrats SM, you deserve it.

  109. sandossu

    Congrats, Shoemoney. Oh, and i was one of those that sent you emails about AuctionAds :)

  110. Glenn -- Write for Blogs

    Way to go man. Better believe all the equity guys saw that one!

    The story echoes the advice we see over and over from bloggers who’ve made it: Don’t give up. The most common mistake that bloggers who hope to turn pro make is quitting too soon. Don’t we all want to believe that one!

  111. Blogging the Movie

    Great news man. But are you ready to be in a movie? a documentary about bloggers?

  112. cooliojones

    Congrats to you Shoe! I want to make it in a magazine within a year…

  113. drubee

    damn, thats great.. good on ya mate

  114. CPA Affiliates

    WOW man thats awesome. It is always an honor to get a major plug from a newsmedia source! Congrats!

  115. Paul Bradish

    Congrats Shoe!

  116. Brent

    Yeah congrats Jeremy, what a cool surprise! Good to see you posting frequently again. The guest posts are cool, but they definately aren’t like reading a genuine Shoemoney post.

  117. Irv Robinson

    Congrats! I hope my blog will get as big as yours, even though mine focuses on the automotive industry :)

  118. doolally

    The story is about revenue from blogging the $12k/m is just from this blog.

  119. Joeychgo

    I thought you knew! Congrats Man!

  120. ouchs

    Congratulations Shoemoney! Thanks for the inspiration!

  121. Grayson De Ritis

    Nice! Good stuff, Shoe

  122. jim

    Congrats dude, some of those bloggers ar emaking a lot more than i thought…

  123. tantan

    very nice!, congrats !
    You shown the proof.

  124. Jeremy Steele

    Congrats! Please let us know how much traffic that brings in :P

  125. Webanalyticsbook

    $12k is 3% of your companies revenue? Did they get the numbers from Bootmoney?

  126. HH

    that’s a nice lists of people having a nice life

  127. Matt

    That’s huge JS. Congratulations! Very, very cool.

  128. andrew

    I’ve never had a complaint about you Shoe, until now. Auction ads is down and your making blog posts!?

    A principle i have always believed in is that it is much more valuable to retain a customer than it is to gain new customers. I would focus on satisfying the existing auctionAders by making sure that the site stays up.

    It really is a great program, but it can’t go down!

  129. Barry Schwartz

    Congrats!

  130. Ginene

    Congratulations!!! I can’t wait until you hit Forbes list. I know you will. I’ll say you’ll make that list in about 10 years. 7/16/2017. I am sure each year your income will just double. Congrats again!

  131. Deron

    Very nice! Congrats!

  132. website copywriter

    Props for the well-deserved recognition, Shoe!

  133. Bridge for Sale

    wow what a article! good for you jeremy 20,000 uniques a day wow thats allot of traffic I bet you must make hundreds a day from auction ads a day!

  134. Viral Electronics

    Congrats man. I read Shoemoney and Problogger.net both everyday. You give some of the best and deffantly the most honest tips on the net. I belive one of the reasons your so popular is that your totaly honest with people and not shoving constant sales piches down your visitors throats.

  135. nario

    The siteinfo tool is no more available?

  136. CarlM

    Very nice.. and they even spelled your name correctly(?), the ultimate sign of quality :)

  137. Bill Hartzer

    Congrats on being mentioned–the more people like you are mentioned in the mainstream press the better!

  138. Ashwin

    Nice one Shoemoney. Auction ads is great!

  139. Abhijeet

    Wow, congrats Shoemoney, You rock! and just to let you know – I am already enjoying loads of $$ through AuctionAds, thanks to you!
