June 2019 BLOG INCOME REPORT
We are officially halfway through the year!
I don’t know about you, but that went fast.
{This post may contain affiliate links, which means that I may receive a commission if you make a purchase using these links. Full disclosure policy.}
I didn’t write as many new posts as I would have liked (isn’t that always the case), but I have been working hard on SEO and behind the scenes tasks to create more epic content for my readers.
I hope my blogging income reports will encourage you to consider pursuing blogging as a side hustle. Be warned, it’s not a get rich quick scheme by any means. It takes a lot of time, work, dedication, and continued learning.
If you’re a blogger who has been blogging for awhile and NOT seeing results I urge you to keep on going.

Traffic: 29,052 25,713 pageviews
I accidentally turned off my Google Analytics traffic tracking for a short period of time, but I probably only lost a few hundred page views. *face plant*

These resources are the ones that helped me hit over 25k sessions to join Mediavine and finally start making some money blogging.

Dare to Conquer (formerly Dare to Conquer, formerly Billionaire Blog Club)
Scrivs is the chill, super successful entrepreneur behind Dare to Conquer.
His course is different than any other courses I have seen. For one price you get access to every course, Pinterest guide, SEO, affiliate marketing, video, sales funnel, community, etc.
I have the one-time membership package.
Scrivs has updated and added more information than any course I have seen. Most recently the $100k climb. Unlike other “blogging” courses, he teaches you how to set up your business to make money and continuously gives you the resources to do so, while other courses just take your money and run.
TAILWIND
I use Tailwind to look at my stats and Tailwind tribes was what helped me get over 1,000 page views a day. You don’t need to have Tailwind to get a ton of traffic, but the time it saves me has been used to create new content and pins so I find it to be well worth the money. Currently leaving low performing Pinterest group boards.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
I feel like I’m at a big turning point in my blogging journey and I’ll tell you why.
I didn’t post that much this month and I’m okay with it.
Secondly, when I accidentally turned off my tracking I missed out on some money. In the past I would have freaked out and been sad, but now I realize what’s a few dollars? I have bigger plans in mind for my blog 😉
I’m slowly getting better at managing my time, which is a big help.
FINAL THOUGHTS
I am working on building up my back links by posting on other sites. I’ll share them all in next month’s report.
Outside my “blog” life things have been going well. I’m going on a much needed girl’s trip so time to build up some content before I go.
Make sure to do something for yourself. Blogging and work aren’t everything!
If you don’t have your own blog yet, read this post to see what you need to do to set up your blog. If you have been blogging, keep up the great work and know it only gets easier.
