When I first started blogging I figured there was a way to earn money from it but wasn’t quite sure HOW to do that. I reached out to a few popular bloggers in my early days and they ALL told me to focus on content and building my audience FIRST and then the income would come. I am so happy I listened to them and did not get too laser-focused on making money because if your content is authentic, enriching and of value – the money will come.
With that said I have had the pleasure to discover or be referred to some blogs that generously share their income reports typically on a monthly basis. I find these reports very valuable – NOOOO not because I am nosy and want to see how much money they made, but for the analytics that typically are shared with the income reports. These bloggers share not only how much they made and where they made their money, but they also share analysis of what is working for them, what isn’t, and their plans for future changes. This isn’t a one size fit all type of approach. You really need to know your readers, what they value, what value you bring, how you can provide an authoritative voice and then deliver, deliver and deliver.
I hope these reports from some of my absolute favorite bloggers inspire you not only by the money they make but the methodical way they go about managing their blog to increase their readership and traffic (and who doesn’t want more traffic right)?
I hope these reports inspire you as much as they inspire me.
Disclaimer: I am not compensated for sharing these income reports. These are some of my most favorite bloggers who share their income reports so want to share them with you.
