Blogging Income Report: November 2016

Happy December 🙂 I cannot believe November is over. My little baby is almost six weeks old, and I’m about to head back to work in just a few weeks. Time really flies!!

I’m happy to report that November is now my BEST MONTH EVER when it comes to making money blogging. Blogging has really been a labor of love for me. I started blogging in September 2014 and am just now (a full two years later) making really good money. I kind of feel like it could all just end at any moment, but I’m trying to stay positive!! 🙂

If you’re new here, I’ve been sharing monthly income reports since I started blogging. My reports include both blogging income and freelancing income; but as of roughly one ear ago, I decided to quit freelancing and focus more on blogging. Every once in a while a freelance opportunity pops up, and of course for the right price I will take it. This month, none of my income came from freelancing.

I share income reports for two reasons: 1) To keep myself accountable and motivated, and 2) To help other bloggers. It was reading others’ income reports that made me realize blogging could be profitable. For me, it’s been a slow journey, but that’s OK! Blogging is not my full-time job and I have three little kids, a house and a husband. Those are my priorities and always will be.

If you’re interested in starting your own blog, check out my tutorial on How to Start a Profitable Blog. Blogging will not make you money right away, but I truly believe that if you stick with it for a good year, you’ll start to see your hard work pay off (big time!). Right now, I’m spending just 10 hours per month on my blog (and again, I’m making over $1,000). If I can do this, so can you!

Now, onto November’s blogging income report.

November Blogging Income

Total: $2,277.06

Keep in mind, this is money I took in in November, not money I earned. A good chunk of this was from affiliate sales I made back in September. With affiliates, most companies pay out 45-60 days after a sale is made.

Blogging Income Breakdown

• Ads: $419.06
• Affiliate Sales: $1,558
• Sponsored Posts: $300
• Book Sales: $0

As you can see, affiliate sales is where the majority of my income is coming from. I promote various products I love throughout my blog, and slowly but surely I’ve started to see my hard work paying off.

Blog Updates

Speaking of affiliate sales, my new course – How to Make Money as a Web Hosting Affiliate – is now AVAILABLE!! This (my hosting company, Bluehost) has been my biggest chunk of income lately, and my course teaches others my strategies for making sales! If I can help even one person make some extra money each month to help pay debt or relieve a little financial stress, I’m a happy camper. I truly believe we are all in this together!
