hey everybody welcome back to my channel
my name is mia and i'm all about helping
introverts start blogs it is about 30
degrees celsius i don't know how much
that is in fahrenheit but it is hot and
throughout this video i'm going to be
sweating a lot all right so this has
been a long time coming it's time to get
vulnerable i don't know why i'm so
nervous
so in this video i am sharing something
with you that i have never
shared before with anyone else and now
i'm sharing it with the whole world wide
web
i've received so many questions about
this since i started my blogging journey
and since i started to make money
blogging will you do a blog income
report how much money do you make
blogging share with us your monthly
revenue etc etc so your prayers are
about to be heard
and to be honest with you i always
thought no i'm not going to share what i
earn how much i make every month because
it's private i don't want to share that
part of my business but i had to have a
long think about this and i decided to
give it a go i mean i teach this stuff i
teach blogging and how to make money
blogging so it only makes sense that i
do share that part of my business with
you so if this blog income report helps
you in any way inspires you motivates
you i've done my job and just to let you
know i'm not one of those bloggers who's
making a hundred thousand dollars a
month far from it but i am getting
closer to that six figure blogger
monthly mark i've watched and i've read
my fair share of blog income reports
over the years where the bloggers are
making over a hundred thousand dollars a
month even millions a month and yes this
was all inspiring and great but it also
made me feel kind of hopeless because
the number that they were making the
amount that they were making was so far
away from what i was currently making i
mean i was currently making at the time
zero dollars and i don't see a lot of
people sharing this type of stuff you
know bloggers who are in it who are on
the journey on their way to earn a
significant amount of money blogging so
that's what i want this video to be i
want to be completely transparent and
honest with you guys because that is
what i myself value the most from other
youtubers bloggers transparency and
honesty and also i am not sharing this
to brag in any way shape or form i'm
sharing this information with you
because i want you to know that this is
absolutely possible for you as well if
i'm a unicorn so are you my friend i
know i say that all the time but it is
true that's totally my go-to saying
after quiet people can do amazing things
okay
scary but let's do this first of all how
do i make money blogging before we get
into the actual numbers this month i
want to take a minute to just chat
through how i make money blogging and
there are obviously lots of way to make
money blogging but the way that i make
most of my revenue is through display
ads affiliate marketing from ebooks and
printables so my planner bundle and my
ebook dream morning my online courses
the dreamers to do academy which is a
personal development course for
introverts and then dreamer to blogger
which is a blogging course for
introverts for beginner bloggers and
then finally i have my membership so my
membership is a online community of
introverted bloggers coming together to
create amazing things so that is a
reoccurring
monthly revenue that i make from my
membership so i do make most of my money
through passive income meaning i put in
the work up front and then i reap the
benefits of that work later this is how
i am able to make money in my sleep and
wake up to sales in my inbox and seeing
new students and members join my
programs overnight which is amazing now
for my membership i do get a recurring
revenue but i don't look at this as
entirely passive because i do have to
put in the work month by month there's a
new master class that has to be created
that we have a goal setting workshop a
bunch of resources that i create on a
monthly basis so i would say that the
revenue that i make from my membership
is not entirely passive because it does
require me to show up more on a
consistent basis which i love but i do
enjoy this this is my focus for the
moment it is my dream to make this place
the best and the warmest safest place
for introverts who are looking to
up-level their lives and their blog so
yeah that is how i make money blogging
now let's get into the numbers so these
are numbers from april 2021
let's crunch those numbers so from
affiliate marketing for the month of
april in 2021 i earned 1
388
so affiliate marketing if you're not
familiar it is basically just selling
other people's products and services and
then when someone buys by clicking on my
link i do get a payout and i do only
recommend and sell products that i have
used myself and have had results with so
for example i am an affiliate of
bluehost if you sign up for bluehost
using my special link i do get a
commission from that sale but i have
used bluehost myself and that is why i
recommend it to all new bloggers so
that's how that works okay display ads
in april 2021 i made 537
dollars and 46 sets from my ebooks and
my printables so dream morning and my
planner bundle i made 350
dollars and 23 cents from my online
courses so the dreamers to do academy
and dreamer to blogger i made 4
479.98
and finally my membership for the month
of april i made
985 dollars and 72 cents so in total for
the month of april i made 7740.77
as a little disclaimer this is not the
amount that's sitting in my bank account
ready for me to just withdraw i do have
to pay taxes and i do have blogging
expenses every month i'm thinking i
should create a video about all the
blogging expenses that i have but that's
for a later time and i also have to pay
my accountant and obviously as a blogger
your revenue my revenue ebbs and flows
it's not the same every single month
this has been a good month for me i have
months where i make less than this i
have months where i make more than this
it does differ month to month that's
just the name of the blogging game now
since i have shared this with you all i
may as well let this be a place for me
to share even more with you guys so what
i'm currently focusing on and the goals
i have with my blog going forward as you
can see from this monthly revenue i am
very close to hitting that six figure
blogger monthly revenue mark which is 8
33. and 33 33 cents
a month in revenue so i guess if i am
setting financial goals here that's
going to be my monthly revenue goal
fingers crossed more than focusing on
the numbers i don't typically set
revenue goals month by month i want to
make sure that i am providing value for
my audience and for the members of my
community and the students that i have
in my courses so that is where my focus
lies and with that focus the revenue
increases it's kind of like the
byproduct of me putting a lot of work
and a lot of value into my content and
in my paid products i want to be more
open share more stuff with you guys like
these income reports if you find that
valuable let me know be more vulnerable
share my story more and publish these
kinds of videos even though they
literally freak me out a little bit but
that's okay as long as you guys are
getting value out of this it's all good
another focus that i have for the coming
months and for the rest of the year is
to grow my membership of amazing
bloggers and also spread the word about
dreamer to blogger which is my blogging
course so i guess i just need to get a
little better at marketing those things
i'm literally melting away
if you've been following my blog for a
while you might know that i didn't start
out blogging about blogging for
introverts and mindset i started out
blogging about literally everything i
mean even personal finance which in
hindsight not a good idea i don't know
enough about it and it's just not my jam
at this time i wasn't clear on who i was
blogging for which is key if you want to
be successful blogging but i wasn't
clear on these things i didn't know who
my person was who i was speaking to in
my content and who i was creating
content for who i wanted to help the
most now i definitely am i help
introverts start blogs shine online and
chase their dreams so this is something
that has become clear to me in the last
year which feels so good so that's one
of the major things that have happened
in my business if you're curious
i don't even know if this is interesting
okay so if you guys are curious about
how to make money blogging you want to
know the best place to start what i
would tell you right now is learn
implement and go after one monetization
strategy at a time especially when
you're just starting out now i'm just
sharing my own story here i started out
with affiliate marketing which i do
really recommend for new bloggers
because it's a great way for you to get
to know your audience better and for you
to actually create a product that they
actually want because by offering an
affiliate product you're gonna see
what's selling and what's not what
they're buying and what they're not
buying and what they're genuinely
interested in so when the time comes
when you are ready to create your own
digital products you know what they want
and you can give them exactly that that
way you don't have to create a product
that just doesn't sell and with
affiliate marketing you don't have to go
through the hassle of actually creating
the product and creating the sales page
and all that that is done for you so
that is what i recommend all new
bloggers start with so consider your
niche do a little simple google search
search for your niche so if your niche
is self-care search for self-care plus
affiliate programs and see what comes up
so that's a great way to get started and
it is how i learned that my audience was
interested in blogging and personal
growth and all of that so that gave me
the idea for my own course i'm going to
create a whole other video all about how
to make money blogging for beginners so
watch out for that but guys i really
hope that you enjoyed this blog income
report of how i make money blogging on a
monthly basis if you did let me know in
the comments if you want me to do more
of these and i will i'm here to serve
you guys
and listen if i can make money blogging
so can you there's no doubt about that
thanks so much for watching you guys if
you are a fellow introvert looking to
start her dream blog and do amazing
things you might want to subscribe and
join the family i will see you next time
bye guys
