Here are 10 things you can do to MAKE MORE MONEY blogging. It's easier to follow a checklist like this rather than guess at everything!!

  I haven't written about blogging in a while, so I thought I'd come out of my blogging about blogging hibernation today and write something that's been weighing on me for a while.  I think this is an important topic to talk about.  My CPA background affords me a unique perspective on blogging. Sometimes I don't realize that what I do is different than the rest until someone points it out.  I realized last year than I apparently have a unique system of determining what things I should be doing to generate income on my blog vs things I shouldn't be doing at Keep Reading

7 blog income strategies that work

You may remember in my March 2016 income report (the last one I published) where I shared my theory that it's way easier to scale certain types of blog income even in periods of downward trending page views. Well, I did a LOT of testing over the past 10 months and have found that YES, this is absolutely true! I've been on quite a ride testing many many theories related to income generation, and I've made some interesting discoveries. You can earn more money with less traffic if you know what to do What I found is that by focusing on selling products (for affiliates and my own Keep Reading

In 2014, I started taking my blog seriously.  In late spring 2015, I was starting to see a return on my efforts, and at around the point I was making $400 a month, I started using an Excel spreadsheet to track my progress. I have used it every month since then to make financial decisions related to my blog. It helps me figure out what to work on, determine what isn't working, whether or not I can afford to invest in a blogging course or hire help, and more.  I couldn't have grown my blog to where it is today without this tool! This spreadsheet was instrumental in helping Keep Reading

Hi guys. You all know I don’t like fluff. In fact, I’m kind of allergic to it. That’s why I don’t take it lightly when I recommend a product or service to you. I am so excited because the best course I’ve taken all year long (and I’ve signed up for 12 of them!) is now available to the public. This course is the one I WISH I had written. It's seriously kicking my butt all over the place. It’s called Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing and it’s written by Michelle Schroeder-Gardner of Making Sense of Cents. This course is no joke SO good. Like I think I will be able to double my monthly Keep Reading

How Do I Make Money Blogging? - I get this question from readers all the time about how I make money from my blog. There is one solid tip I share with every single person who wants to learn how to make extra money online. This post explains the key to earning money blogging whether you're just starting out or have been doing this for 5 years.

Lately, I've been receiving lots of emails from new bloggers asking me the loaded question - "How do I make money blogging?" I always get overwhelmed in trying to respond to this question in writing because it's not really something you can explain in a single email. Or even an entire book. Succeeding at blogging takes a lot of little bits and pieces of knowledge that I will hopefully address along the way in my Blogging Tips series, but there's always one thing that holds steady throughout your journey. Blogging has earned me more than I could have imagined in my wildest dreams, but Keep Reading
