ShoeMoney In Business Week

140 responses..

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 ;)

    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

    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.

     
    @July 16, 2007 2:02 pm

    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!

    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!

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

    @July 16, 2007 4:10 pm
    doolally Says:

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

    @July 17, 2007 1:15 pm

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

     
     
    @July 17, 2007 4:07 pm

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

    @July 16, 2007 10:02 pm

    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!

    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.

    That’s unbelievable but whatever, if she ever gets audited then the truth will come out. :)

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

    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?

    @July 17, 2007 1:41 pm
    andrew Says:

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

     
    @July 19, 2007 4:26 am
    Ouchs Says:

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

    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..

    Congrats

     
    @July 18, 2007 11:03 pm

    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!

    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… :)
