			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>September has come and gone and now we get back into the holiday season. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are right around the corner! I am pretty sure Wal-Mart is already stocking the Christmas items, too!</p>
<p>Anyway, with the month finished, its about that time that I sometimes put together a earnings post for the month and all around update on the status of the site. So, lets get started.</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>SEPTEMBER EARNINGS</strong></span></p>
<p>Private Ads: $10.00<br />
Sponsored Reviews: $9.75<br />
Text Link Ads: $25.52<br />
ReviewMe: $40.00<br />
Adsense: $14.73<br />
<strong>TOTAL: $100.00</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><em>Some notes on the earnings and other items&#8230;</em></strong></span><br />
On top of the $14.73 that I &#8220;earned&#8221; from AdSense for the month, I actually got my latest Adsense payment of over $100. Since I don&#8217;t make enough through AdSense to get a monthly deposit (more than $100), it is nice every couple months when it does come through.</p>
<p>I have sold a few private ads on the site over the past few months and there has also been a lot of interest in purchasing advertising on the site. If you are interested, check out the rates on the <a href="/advertise">Advertise</a> page and then get in <a href="/contact">contact</a> with me to discuss. All the ad formats are available (text link, image ad, and sponsored posts).</p>
<p>I am happy that I hit the $100 mark again for the month, that is good news. I hope that this month we will be able to get over that and get closer to $150. With two new bloggers on board to help write for the site, I think we will be able to pump out some great content that will hopefully attract some more monthly advertisers and sponsors. Page views and visitors have taken about a 40% increase in September from August and just about doubled from July. I know they are not impressive numbers (1200 visits and 1600 page views) but they are continuing to go up daily and look forward to what October brings.</p>
<p>With college classes back in full force for everyone, I will hopefully be able to put out some useful content for student entrepreneurs &#8211; if you have ideas for posts, please <a href="/contact">let me know</a> and we will write about them! Also, if you have questions you&#8217;d like for us to try to answer, <a href="mailto:chris@dorm-room-biz.com" target="_blank">email me</a> and we will either email you back or post about it on the site!</p>
<p>Obviously the most popular post from the month was the contest post. As I already reviewed after the contest finished, there were over 300 combined entries and over 80 comments. Some of the other popular posts for the month included:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.dorm-room-biz.com/2008/09/09/websites-you-need-to-be-using-as-an-entrepreneur/" target="_blank">12 Websites You Need to Be Using As An Entrepreneur</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.dorm-room-biz.com/2008/09/04/are-you-a-toilet-paper-entrepreneur-%E2%80%9Cbig-idea%E2%80%9D-expert%E2%80%99s-new-book/" target="_blank">Are You A Toilet Entrepreneur?</a></li>
</ul>
<p>We also got out 14 posts for the month, which equates to almost one every other day. October is going to be better &#8211; I swear! Keep a look out!</p>
<p>I think that is about all the updates that I have for now. October is a busy month for me (as far as the weekends go) but I should be able to get a lot of posts written while at work&#8230;like I am now.</p>
<p>Anyway, keep your heads up, keep hustlin&#8217;, and keep making the green!</p>

<p>P.S. New Dorm Room Biz design is still in the works &#8211; look for it to be launching this month&#8230;..I hope! It should be great!</p>
