The above results might be a little depressing. They are a lot less than $100/hour. To cheer up we can make some projections into the future.
First lets calculate how much traffic you need to generate to earn $100 per 24 hour period.
32,742 visitors generate 580 dollars in 437 days.
We want to know: how many visitors do you need to earn 100 a day? After doing some basic multiplication:
100 [dollars] / 17.7 [revenue per 1000 visitors] * 1000) =5882
To make $100/day you need around 6,000 visitors a day.
This is good news because it sounds possible. 6,000 visitors a day is not that much. Out of all the Internet users out there you just need a measly 6,000 to come to your site every day. Then you can quite your day job. As comparison, some of the most popular blogs have 50,000 visitors a day.
But please keep in mind, this is just based on the first year of this website. And it is almost all based on advertising revenue ( I did not have any affiliate sales and only 3 product sales). You might have other streams of revenue so your required number of daily visitors might be a lot less.
It all depends on how much money you can earn for every 1000 visitors. This website does pretty well with $17.00 per 1000 visitors (or $1.70 per 100 visitors). It does well, but there are sites that do a lot better.
Imagine you have a product that you sell for $10.00 How many visitors out of a 100 do you expect would buy the product? If you could sell it to 1 in every 100 visitors then you would be doing almost 50 times better than this website. You would be making $10 for every 100 visitors, compared to this website which makes $1.70 for every 100 visitors.
Of course the challenge is having a product and website which can make a sale to every 100th visitor. But even a sale to every 1000th visitor is not bad as long as you can get allot of traffic.
