How to keep track on all income sources?

7 replies
Hi there. I am a baby in web marketing, I am learning and trying different things everyday. So I have a lot of possible sources of income. Well...I say possible because its not making money ...yet :p

Anyway, I am lost with all my amazon associates account, paypal, afiliates, clickbank, cpalead, and many more.

Ok, I now that if I make some money I will receive on my paypal account, but till I reach that amounts, can i check all in on place...?

Is this a dumb question? lol

    Write. Everything. Down.

    Write down every account you have, every product you're promoting, everything. Before you even add another thing you need to go through and make sure that everything you have is listed down. You could potentially get yourself into legal trouble if you don't keep organized.

    Organization is key to a successful business. Leave nothing unnoted.

    Track all links individually. Check stats on each affiliate program regularly. Keep a note of what networks you are working with and what products you are selling.

      Hi,

      It's kind of pain in the butt (at least in the beginning), but just make an Excell spreadsheet.

    Honestly, this is one of my miseries. Keeping track of my affiliate information, password... I admit I need to employ some organization here.

    Yes you can try to make a excel sheet and if you want to check your list every in the world then you can use google drive sheet because there is no kind of software available in my knowledge.

    I use an excel spreadsheet for every cent that goes in and out for all my work.
    I then break it down and use another separate sheet for each client. One per client and save all work for each client in their own folder. That also includes emails.

    I also use an Excel Spreadsheet for this. At the end of the month, put the figures in each separate column for your individual affiliate accounts.

    Also use MOVING AVERAGES to see if your monthly income is rising or falling. Steal the idea from stock trading which is to plot 6 and 12 month moving averages - if the 6 month line crosses the 12 month then your business is doing well. If the reverse happens then it's time for MASSIVE ACTION.
