Don’t people just love blog income reports?

I do!

And today, I want to do an update on how much I’ve made since I started blogging.

I started this blog on November 15, 2021, so it’s officially been four months and six days—and here’s how much I’ve made.

What Is My Blog Income so Far

A big fat zero.

That’s right.

So far this year, my blog income is nada. Zero. Zilch.

Hm…I wonder how much words I can use and still mean the same thing?

Yes, I know this number sucks.

But that’s not all! In these past four months, not only have I earned a $0, I’ve also:

• Been rejected for two affiliate marketing programs, Google Adsense and Skimlinks.
• Accepted by two affiliate marketing programs, Bluehost and Themes Kingdom.

Like any good affiliate, I will now tell you that the two links above are affiliate links. If you click on them and successfully make a purchase, I will earn a commission. Of course, this comes at no extra cost to you.

Haters will think I’m lying, so here’s proof.

Of my rejection emails.

Yeah, Google.

It’s not like I wanted to be part of your affiliate program anyway. 🙄

And Skimlink.

Please notice me senpai. 🙇‍♀️

If you do not understand this pop culture reference, look up Buku no Pico.

LMAO. I’m just kidding. 😂

I don’t know why I put that in there.

Please do not look up Boku No Pico. I’m into anime, but to this day I still don’t understand what this is in reference, too.

I picked it up on Tik Tok.

If anyone’s going to blame, me, please blame Tik Tok.

In any case, I digress.

Like I said, I’ve been rejected twice.

But I don’t have any beef with this because I’ve done zero marketing on my blog.

I expected this kind of result.

These past four months, I’ve only been blogging and blogging; I’ve been creating content on my site.

Here are some of my top performing blog posts:

• How to Open a Credit Card When You Have No Credit
• How I Managed to Save $20,000+ in 2020
• What to Look for When Looking at Index Funds on Fidelity

But between now and the upcoming months, I’m going to be focusing on steps that will help me grow my blog income.

Since I’ve created a routine of posting weekly on my blog, I am now transitioning to actually marketing my blog.

I’ve finally started investing in my blog!

How Much Money I’ve Spent On My Blog

As I said, my blog income so far this year was $0.

And so far this year, this is how much money I’ve spent on my blog.

So…I’m -$1,252.22.

I don’t consider this a negative at all if I’m investing in my blog.

I want to make back the $698.92 that I invested into Create and Go’s Pro Blogger Bundle. Psst, I am not an affiliate of their program yet, so I can’t link to them or anything.

Once I am an affiliate, I will come back and fix this link to contain affiliate link.

Next Steps I Will Take to Increase My Blog Income

The next big steps of this blog is this.

1. Start promoting this blog on Pinterest to bring traffic to my site so I can increase the income on my blog.
2. Complete the Create and Go Pro Blogger course. I plan to do a review once I am complete. There are currently three courses in this bundle and I am at 80% done with the first course.
3. Make money on the blog and make back how much I’ve spent to date!
