I am pretty excited about how well I did with my first month of sales. Granted I have been using The Niche Blogger system for 2 months now but the first month your sole purpose is to set everything up and learn the basics of the system. The 2nd month is when you start implementing the money earning procedures.
So for the month of December 2008 I have earned $20.17! Now this may not seem like a large amount but I am seeing the big picture and witnessing that The Niche Blogger system can and will work for me!
I have been kind of lagging on some of the steps since the holidays but seeing this earning potential has gotten me excited all over again!

I have also been looking into Amy’s system. I am an experienced blogger that has been blogging for over 4 years. From what I was able to find out is that most people don’t get past making $100 a month with her system. I make about $50 a day but not with adsense or affiliate advertising. People come to me to do honest website or product reviews which I publish on my blog. If you do the math, Amy has over 700 members in her “club”. At $19.95 a month per member that is a chunk of change. I think that is where she is really making her money – teaching others, not blogging.
I have been slowly growing from the tips learned on Any’s site. I started out with just a few dollars a day with my own efforts and now I’m making between $25 to $60 per day on one blog alone.
Since the program she offers is also an affiliate program I make money from that as well. Since I get paid a referral fee for each person I refer I have made back my money in the affiliate program and now it costs me nothing. What is even better? I have a great system with people all doing the same thing to help each other out so people save a bundle and never need to search for hours for help on Google.
I recommend it.
I love The Niche Blogger course. In fact, things that I have learned in month one alone has helped me tremendously with my other projects that have nothing to do with niche blogging. For that reason I went ahead and upgraded to lifetime and have no regrets.
Like so many I got sidetracked over the holidays but now that I am back to following the steps each day that Amy provides I am seeing my income climb again.
Of course Amy makes money with her membership site. Why shouldn’t she? Amy puts a whole lot of hours into making the THE NICHE BLOGGER the fantastic, money making system that it is.
To assume Amy makes all her money off the Niche blogger is ridiculous! Go read Amy’s blog mydebtfreegoal.com, she’s been blogging about making money online LONG before she ever created the Niche Blogger.
Amy has learned how to create money making niche websites through trial and error. I’m just happy she’s willing to share the secrets of her success with the rest of us!
I’m a lifetime member of Amy’s program and have seen my online income quadruple since joining. The Niche Blogger system is only going to work for you if you are willing to put the time and effort into the program. Its like a diet, you can’t just buy the diet book and still eat what you want and expect to lose weight. Amy’s program works if you are willing to work it!
@theKnowledgelady Amy certainly does not make her “real” money from her system subscribers. As messy said, she has been blogging about her journey to earn money through niche blogging back in 2007 on her personal site, MyDebtFreegoal.com way before she ever developed her system. Amy wouldn’t have any subscribers that stay month to month subscribing if they weren’t getting valuable information from her and found some success.
As part of the system, Amy offers subscribers to her private forum and it’s a shame you cannot see the success stories there. Many people have been able to earn well over $100.00 a month doing the Niche Blogger system. It works and I can see in my own success right now, even if it is small. That will change soon enough.
Amy does not make money off of me anymore because i’m a lifetime member. I highly recommend everyone to be lifetime members. Amy has given me the tools to make money online and now starting in 2009 I will start making at least $100 from Google every month probably for the rest of my life. That number continues to grow monthly. Does the system work? Yes!!!
I’ve been a member of the nicheblogger for 6 months.
During this time I have not seen ONE SINGLE PERSON reporting making *anywhere close* to what Amy claims we SHOULD be making.
Not a one. Of all those hundreds of people…
‘Nough said.
To quote someone on the niche blogger forum:
“Since I signed up for the first month on Jan 4th, I have made $1158 from 4 blogs, that is adsense, amazon, CJ, shareasale and a few independent programs..”
Kinda disputes that argument doesn’t it?
Well it seems to be a difference of opinion here, I have been a memeber of niche blogger and am doing just fine, and making money.
My question to you would be, are you expecting, to be making $5000 a month working 2 hours a day?
If you want a full time income, you need to put in full time hours to get your business going..
Once you have a good foundation it does get a bit easier to maintain, but no effort= no money..
As has been pointed out many times in the past, “your mileage may vary”. I would tend to grade Amy’s system more on quality, completeness, and overall value. In those terms, she excels far above many similar courses and leaves nothing out. I’ve been onboard for 6 months now, and I believe that I’ve received far more value for my money than I could have elsewhere.
Have I achieved $xxx.xx per month with this yet? Nope. Why not? Because I haven’t yet done hardly any of the things that Amy is teaching. I do plan to niche blog too, but I mainly signed on with Niche Blogger in order to help me with ideas to better market my already long established websites. So you see, the value for me has been in the most excellent information and techniques which are presented. Niche Blogging to me is icing on the cake.
As to Amy making some money teaching, of course she is! Who wouldn’t? She’s entitled, and we all pay her for a quality product. And she makes money from blogging too.
So let me sum this up by saying that even if you don’t make $xxx.xx or $xxxx.xx for whatever reason, I feel that NB is still an outstanding value. And if an old codger like me can get something out of it than you can too
.
Thought I would drop by for my two cents. I am a lifetime member of the Niche Blogger and am amazed at what I have learned so far. I was completely new to blogging when I began.
I do have a ways to go to reach my income goal, and it is slower than what I thought it would be in the beginning, but I am seeing the light. I expect my income to triple and possibly quadruple this month!
I am excited, I enjoy this, and I am finally reaping small rewards that increase daily!!
Currently, I put part time hours into this. As income increases, I expect to be able to do more.
As with all legit business models that you find online, the key ingredient has always been consistent action. Nothing is magic, and nothing comes without a certain amount of focused work toward your goal.

Think For Yourself – If you are so displeased with Amy’s program why don’t you cancel your membership?
I feel I have to pipe in here and say that although I admire Amy and appreciates what she teaches, I too have my doubts regarding her blogging income claims. I researched all of Amy’s niche blogs (about 50 or 60 of them which matches what she says). Only ONE of them was up to 50 or so posts, most had only 10-15 posts and I think 40-50% were not even blogs but static websites. She only added articles to the blogs starting December. But then, maybe it IS true that she makes $5K from these very small sites. Question is, why teach something that you’re not even doing yourself?
Veronica, I’m curious – How do you know which sites are Amy’s?…..
There is a website which will give you all the websites with the same adsense publisher ID. So if you know at least 1 site, you can know the rest. I don’t feel comfortable giving out the site. I only researched all her sites because I needed to see EXACTLY what she was doing.
Hi There…wow, what an interesting blog!
I joined a couple of months ago, and then told my friend about it. She has been blogging for a couple of years, and has even written a book about blogging. But since she joined…she was only in the program for 1 1/2 months, she started from scratch following exactly Amy’s steps and has made $240.00 Just from 1 blog in 1 1/2 months.
For someone to say they are not having success could be due to many variables. I have been at the IM game for over a year and a half. And there are many subtleties that are never disclosed by the Gurus…or if they are, they are nuggets you may not see as valuable and you skim over them (for me it was keywords). So everyones success is really based on the type of Niche Research, Keyword Research, Relevant Content, and if your blogs serves a purpose for solving a problem.
The Question I ask myself everyday…”What can I do to be successful at blogging/Internet Marketing?” And I make a list of things I need to learn. The unknowns are scary…and Amy lays it all out step by step…
thanks for a great blog…and I am wishing you much success!
Veronica, it could be her sites are not showing the full 60 posts she recommends, because they have been scheduled.
I’m curious why you would “need” to know?
40 blogs/sites is a lot…so she apparently has been working at this for awhile…It’s been an effort for me just doing 4 blogs!
And if they aren’t all blogs, maybe she started with other programs until she found what worked for her. And when she found success, wanted to help other people build their online business.
But thanks for letting us know about this sort of website…it should give us all a heads up about how people can spy on us.
