Hey Pat,
just found your site, love it man. I still cant believe you disclose your monthly earnings like that, that is really cool. Not to many marketers are willing to share that much info Prop’s to you man. It gives me so much hope. Thanks.

Interesting earnings report. I was wondering, how much time did it take you to write the LEED book? And I am also wondering how much time would it take for you to update it..

Hi Pat,

Just came across this website. Been loving reading about how your business has progressed. Since I’m considering some ideas for a similar business model, walkthrough for a test, I’ll probably have some questions for you in the future.

See you in the IBM Academy. (Username: jay_f) P.s. You just got another subscriber!

@Pat,

That’s great.

To complement that you might consider buying traffic for related keywords that your site doesn’t rank for. Maybe long-tail or similar keywords for which users would be interested in your product. There should be some of them hanging around.

But I advice you to start small and test to see if it’ll work for you.

@Neil Newmann, I do have a few affiliates on board that help out a little. They help me sell about 8 – 10 books each month.

I rank #1 in many of the keywords that are used, so I think I may be wasting money if people were to click my ads, instead of the free organic links from SEO. Thoughts?

@Pat,

Can’t you make more using PPC or some other paid traffic sources?

Maybe affiliates could help too.

Wow, if this post does not inspire those of us who are reading to pursue passive income, then I don't know why we are reading! This is so inspirational! Pat, I wonder if you have ever considered marketing other quality e-book products. This way, you are not the one producing the material? Or is it much better to develop your own? Just wondering.

@Jeff, Thanks man! Here are my answers to your questions below:

1. For my main source of income, which brought me $25,000 last month, I spent $0.00. All traffic and customers were either organic or word of mouth.

2. According to Google Analytics (which I set up to track conversion goals), I’m selling to about 1.9% of all visitors to my website. With about 36,000 unique visitors each month, that’s roughly the right number of sales according to e-junkie.

3. I would say that 75% of my eBook is posted on my blog for free. I added a couple exercises and a little bit of more content, but 75% is there. I would say that a big factor is that it’s organized and easy to navigate through when compared to my website.

Good questions…thanks Jeff.

Love your blog. 3 questions: 1. How much do you spend each month to generate your income? 2. What % of your traffic buys your book? 3. What % of your book do you have posted on your blog for free? Keep it up!! Jeff´s last blog post..The Book is Available starting Today - EARLY!

@Suze, great question. Actually, most of my advertisements (private ads) are on an extended contract, so I’m sure I’ll still have income from those at least until July. For adsense, however, the numbers will probably shift in accordance to the exam, but hey – they might go up since people will be looking for last minute help.

To clarify, the last day to sign up for the exam was April 1st, the last day to TAKE the exam is June 30th.

Thanks Suze! Cheers!

Yay! You have a baby! So cute. On a more serious note, Pat, are your advertising revenues all from your intheleed site? Or have you diversified? I'm just wondering, if ebook revenues are expected to decline, it will be interesting to see what sort of difference it will make in your ad revenues. How on earth would you even be able to estimate? That said, you certainly have breathing room, in my opinion. Suze´s last blog post..Circular Signs of Abundance
