September 2019 BLOG INCOME REPORT

 

I know everyone has been saying it, but I truly can’t believe it’s October already. I have so many more things that I want to get done before 2020 that it’s a little overwhelming.

This month was slow on the blogging side and I now realize I only posted 2 posts last month, one of which was my income report, which means this month I need to step up my game.

I hope my blogging income reports will encourage you to consider pursuing blogging as a side hustle. Be warned, it’s not a get rich quick scheme by any means. It takes a lot of time, work, dedication, and continued learning.

 

If you’re a blogger who has been blogging for awhile and NOT seeing results I urge you to keep on going.

 

September 2019 BLOGGING STATS

 

Traffic: 28,544 21,760 page views

 

My page views have dropped a bit again. This time I know why. I didn’t make many new posts or many new pins. I’ve been so busy with the kids that I’ve neglected my own stuff 🙁

 

My organic traffic is consistent thanks to Stupid Simple SEO.

Blogging Resources

 

These resources are the ones that helped me hit over 25k sessions so that I could qualify and join Mediavine and finally start making some money blogging (I’ve come a long way from making just $20 a month).

 

Carly Campbell’s Pinteresting Strategies Course

Carly’s course is based on manual pinning. She gets over 200,000 page views a month and offers invaluable (free) tips in her Facebook group.

Her course is the most affordable Pinterest course out there and she is not a “blog about blogging” blogger. She focuses mainly on motherhood and that is what makes her course so unique because her tips work for all niches.

Dare to Conquer (formerly Billionaire Blog Club)

Scriv’s Dare to Conquer membership course is different than any other courses I have seen or taken. For one price you get access to every course, Pinterest guide, SEO, affiliate marketing, video, sales funnel, community, etc.

He is super active via email and through Slack (the chat group). He is constantly adding new courses/roadmaps to ensure his students succeed that it’s hard to keep up.

See the full DTC course offerings here.

 

Stupid Simple SEO

 

what is stupid simple seo

 

I’ve only had Mike’s SSSEO course for a short amount of time and I can wholeheartedly say I recommend it to any blogger looking to succeed. It is one of the most in-depth blogging courses I’ve taken and the biggest plus, YOU GET RESULTS! I now rank on page 1 for several of my posts thanks to what Mike teaches.

Read my full Stupid Simple SEO course review to see some of my results, the pros and cons of the course, and what other’s are saying about it.

 

Sign-up to the FREE 5 day bootcamp to get SEO tips, join Mike’s mailing list and see what it’s about.

 

TAILWIND

 

I use Tailwind to look at my stats and Tailwind tribes was what helped me get over 1,000 page views a day.   You don’t need to have Tailwind to get a ton of traffic, but the time it saves me has been used to create new content and pins so I find it to be well worth the money.

 

Try Tailwind for free (no payment information needed). Get 100 free pins and free access to up to 5 tribes using this link.

 

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

 

I had more affiliate sales than last month.

I haven’t quit blogging yet lol.

 

FINAL THOUGHTS

 

I had such a great time at FinCon and even had an awkward picture taken with Ramit Sethi (yay! lol).

Being the introvert that I can be at times I still met a lot of people and learned a lot of new information that will help me financially, especially on a personal level.

 

Moving forward I’m going to incorporate more personal stories on the blog to change things up.

 

I am in the process of accomplishing some more personal finance goals and can’t wait to share with you all!

 

If you don’t have your own blog yet, read this post to see what you need to do to set up your blog.   If you have been blogging, keep up the great work and know it only gets easier.
