November 2019 BLOG INCOME REPORT
The end of the year is always a stressful time. Between holiday shopping, parties and end of the year expenses.

Blogging has been a great way to bring in a little extra cash without a ton of work.
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.

Blogging Resources
These resources are the ones that helped me hit over 25k sessions so that I could qualify and join Mediavine and finally start making some money blogging (I’ve come a long way from making just $20 a month).
Carly Campbell’s Pinteresting Strategies Course
Carly’s course is based on manual pinning. She gets over 200,000 page views a month and offers invaluable (free) tips in her Facebook group.
Her course is the most affordable Pinterest course out there and she is not a “blog about blogging” blogger. She focuses mainly on motherhood and that is what makes her course so unique because her tips work for all niches.

Dare to Conquer (formerly Billionaire Blog Club)
Scriv’s Dare to Conquer membership course is different than any other courses I have seen or taken. For one price you get access to every course, Pinterest guide, SEO, affiliate marketing, video, sales funnel, community, etc.
He is super active via email and through Slack (the chat group). He is constantly adding new courses/roadmaps to ensure his students succeed that it’s hard to keep up.
See the full DTC course offerings here.
Stupid Simple SEO:
I’ve only had Mike’s SSSEO course for a short amount of time and I can wholeheartedly say I recommend it to any blogger looking to succeed. It is one of the most in-depth blogging courses I’ve taken and the biggest plus, YOU GET RESULTS! I now rank on page 1 for several of my posts thanks to what Mike teaches.
Read my full Stupid Simple SEO course review to see some of my results, the pros and cons of the course, and what other’s are saying about it.
Sign-up to the FREE 5 day bootcamp to get SEO tips, join Mike’s mailing list and see what it’s about.
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.
Try Tailwind for free (no payment information needed). Get 100 free pins and free access to up to 5 tribes using this link.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
If we’re being honest, I don’t feel like I accomplished much in November.
I didn’t write many new posts, but I did make a few new pins.
I love that even when you don’t put a lot into blogging, you can still make some money. However, when you put a lot in you definitely see a big increase.
FINAL THOUGHTS
My money saving coloring page calendar is almost complete!
Once it’s done I will put it up for sale on my site at a super affordable price.
They already look so fun that I can’t wait for people working their ways out of debt to start using them.
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.
