May 2017 Blogging Income Report
For quite a few months, I've been terribly behind on posting my income reports, but I'm so happy that this week, I'm posting May's income pretty promptly! Are you ready? Here's my May 2017 Blogging Income Report! The goal I set for 2017 was to increase my gross income every month this year. I didn’t set a specific percentage (although that’s something I may need to think on), but I just wanted to see steady growth for the whole year. So for, for all of 2017, I've hit my goal! The increases haven't been huge or dramatic, but seeing steady growth is so exciting! By doing these reports, I hope to see areas where I’m slacking so I can focus and grow each month. I also plan to evaluate my expenses and make cuts where I can. I've continued to spend money on Facebook advertising, by following the Moolah course. This course is not available now, but you can get on the waiting list for next time) and I've continued to see growth in my income directly from Facebook and ...

April 2017 Blogging Income Report
Hey!! I'm still running a little behind but I'm determined to keep moving forward! Here's my April 2017 Blogging Income Report! My goal for 2017 is to increase my gross income every month this year. I didn’t set a specific percentage (although that’s something I may need to think on), but I just want to see steady growth! From March to April, I saw another increase and I couldn't be happier. In the month of April, we went on vacation and I had surgery (with a longer than expected recovery), so having steady increase in income is truly a welcome surprise. By doing these reports, I hope to see areas where I’m slacking so I can focus and grow each month. I also plan to evaluate my expenses and make cuts where I can. One example for April/May: I temporarily tried out a new email service (that was quite expensive) but ultimately decided it wasn't a good fit for me at this time. It cost me $200, but I've already canceled it and won't incur that expense again unless ...
March 2017 Blogging Income Report
Hey guys! I know I continue to run dreadfully behind, but finally... on this last day of April, I'm finishing up my March 2017 Blogging Income Report. I've had a crazy few weeks... vacation, then surgery and recovery, then my husband's crazy work schedule. I haven't felt like I've had a "normal" week in forever. But anyway... I won't go on about that. I'm doing well now and (very) slowing, things are returning to normal. So let's get on with the report! My goal for 2017 is to increase my gross income every month this year. I didn’t set a specific percentage (although that’s something I may need to think on), but I just want to see steady growth! From February to March, I'm only up $56.24, but at least that's an increase (no matter how small), so I'll take it :) By doing these reports, I hope to see areas where I’m slacking so I can focus and grow each month. I also plan to evaluate my expenses and make cuts where I can. For March, I had a really big expense because I ...
I’m Growing My Facebook Page (almost 10,000 new fans in 8 weeks!)
Ya'll. I'm Growing My Facebook Page!! And I'm so excited about it!!! How??? I signed up for Moolah back in March and I've never looked back! Get on the waiting list for when the course opens by clicking HERE. Is your Facebook business page hopeless? Almost everyone I know in the blogging world has given up on Facebook as source for traffic, income, exposure, etc. I know I've felt that way for months (or maybe more than a year now). I even hired a VA to start managing my account - hoping that regular posting would boost engagement and keep my stagnant page from completely dying. With my last sliver of hope for Facebook, I signed up for a new online course on how to grow Facebook back in March. I'll be honest and say I was a little worried that the course was more hype than it could possibly be effective, but the stats from previous students looked promising and I really liked the personality of the creator. In the end (after watching , I signed up just hours ...
Get More Facebook Fans for FREE!!
Around 3 years ago I stumbled on to this little tip for How to Get More Facebook Fans for FREE!! and when I thought of it again a few days ago, I knew I had to share! I'll be the first to admit that I have not put this tip to use consistently, but when I do, I do see growth in the number of fans I'm gaining each week. I've only been doing it again for 3-4 days and I've gained over 500 new fans in just those few days. Note: this will not work for pages that already have over 100,000 fans. It's only for pages smaller than that. So, if you've already passed that threshold, this tip won't work for you! Alright - so here's the tip: Invite people who like your posts (photos, links, etc.) to like your page! What do I mean?? If someone likes something that you post and they're not already a fan of your page, you can invite them to be one!! It's so easy. Here are some screenshots explaining: I posted this Bunny Cake not long ago and you can see... at this point it ...
10 Great Affiliate Programs for Bloggers
I've worked with a lot of affiliate companies over the years and I thought it would be helpful to post a list of the ones I use and love the most. The first two, Amazon Affiliates and Shareasale (Craftsy, Flirty Aprons, Zulily, etc.) are the primary ones where I earn the most income. However, to be successful at blogging, it's best to have multiple streams of income, so I'd encourage you to sign up with several affiliate programs that you could use in different ways on your blog. Below I list most of the companies I work with and how I use them to earn income. 10 Great Affiliate Programs for Bloggers Amazon Affiliates This is obviously for Amazon.com.
