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

hahaha this is awesome! This girl explains how she makes extra money on accident every month -while trying to sell one product online people end up buying other stuff! :) Sounds like something I would do. Lol | money making ideas, ways to make extra money monthly, home business idea

One of my favorite things about being a blogger is the ability to recommend my favorite products and services to my readers and get paid for those recommendations. I write blogs posts about my favorite things, say, the best books I've found to encourage my kids to eat veggies. But then something weird happens. Sometimes, I sell other things on ACCIDENT. If you're already a blogger who's part of the Amazon Associates program, you probably know what I mean. What happen is that I will refer people to one item, but they will never actually buy that item - instead, they purchase other Keep Reading

Just not on time. lol I’ve had this income report on my to do list since February 1st! When I got to April and still hadn’t started it, I considered Keep Reading

Lately I've been considering researching just how much money can you make money blogging. Here's the 2015 blog income report for WhatMommyDoes.com. It's inspiring to know some people make extra money for their families by blogging & gives you an idea of what is possible. It includes thoughts on what portion of income comes from affiliate advertising, sponsored posts, and advertising, ideas on what worked, and how she earns money selling her own ebook!

My best make money blogging tips EXPOSED! Today I am excited and nervous at the same time to share my income report on the blog. I’ve shared a couple of monthly income reports to date but for some reason sharing a monthly recap seems less invasive than a yearly recap. I’m sharing this annual income report for the same reason I share my monthly reports – so it can give other bloggers an idea of what’s possible and also how much work I had to put in to get the results I had. Some will think I work a lot while others will probably think it’s a pretty sweet work schedule for the Keep Reading

things to know before starting a blog start blog

Hi there! If you've never been to my blog before, I'm Lena and this is my blog about everything under the sun related to being a mom and managing a household (well, except for decorating, because I'm not good at that) :) I write quite often about starting a blog, and I get lots of questions from women who are just about ready to take the leap and start a blog of their own, but aren't quite sure how it will all work. They usually ask me very specific questions like "How do you get ads on your site?" and "How do you get people to look at your blog posts?" They are concerned about earning Keep Reading

October 2015 blog income report

How is everyone’s 2016 going so far? If you’re anything like me, you’re going strong on some new blogging goals for 2016. I met my ultimate 2015 goal in mid-December when I *finally* published my long-awaited ebook on blog traffic. I waited so long to publish the darn thing that the title was no longer correct – it originally read “How I Increased My Monthly Page Views from 17K to 350K in 9 Months, but because I published it several weeks after passing the 400K threshold, I ended up adding a + to the 350! I don’t like things to be technically incorrect, so that made me feel better. Keep Reading

Whenever someone finds out I blog, they always assume I do it as a hobby. When I mention that I actually pay a babysitter a handful of hours per week so I can work on the blog, they are like, "What? Why?" That's when I get to explain that I actually make money blogging. Sometimes I get the oddest looks. If you're a blogger, you know what I mean. If you're not, then you're probably giving the screen an odd look right now. ;=) 2016 Update I published this post a couple years ago when I wasn't making much money from my blog. Since then my blog has grown beyond my wildest Keep Reading
