Income reports are an invaluable learning tool for those looking to start a blog and have no idea where to get started.
By looking at the net profit breakdown per month, you should have a better understanding of how successful bloggers like Pat Flynn make money trough display ads, through affiliate marketing & affiliate links, through sell products…
But, I would love you to remember that before thinking about monetizing your blog you should focus on creating great blog content – relevant blog posts will bring you traffic and increase your page views as well as a good user experience.
Indeed, traffic is the key to get income (affiliate income & ad income, among others).
Thank you so much for reading my income proof reports.
A beginner can usually make between $1,000 & $4,000 per month after the first year of starting their blog. Some blogs go on to make in excess of $100,000 per month.
But it really depends on how hard you work. As they say, you get out what you put in and committed full time bloggers can make decent money online.
It will take at least a couple of months for any new blog to start making money online and this takes a lot of time and hard work.
Realistically it will be at least a year before you see a consistent full-time income. There are a lot of varying factors and you need to invest both time and money smartly, as you can see in my blog income reports.
There are a bunch of ways for bloggers to make money blogging including affiliate marketing (thanks to high ticket affiliate programs), Google AdSense, and creating and selling products and social media.
It takes time to get a decent blogging income per month for a beginner.
