Join me on my journey with my blog income report collection.
I publish a blog income report which breaks down key blog statistics, how much I earned and spent throughout the month.
I also tell you exactly what I did in that month and the precise steps I took to generate the income.
These blog traffic and income reports provide full transparency on all aspects of the blog including a range of statistics from unique visitors, email subscribers to YouTube subscribers.
I publish these blog income reports to help me track my own progress while teaching you what to do and more importantly what not to do to run a successful online business.
Don’t forget that I also show you how to start a blog the right way.
The full archive of every income report I have ever published can be found below along with income & expenses broken down month by month.
Just click on the Month name to view the blog traffic and income report for that month!

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.

Hi, Thanks for sharing such an informative BlogKeep doing good work…
No problem.
Thanks for sharing this Thanks a lot! I have tried to create a blog for a while now to no avail. Your article is really help full and easy to understand. post. this very useful to new bloggers.
Glad to hear it, you might find this page a bit more useful – https://searchlogistics.com/blogging/how-to-start-a-blog/
Wow! Amazing how can you do that please share us how I earn more money from blogging
You’ll find a bunch of advice here – https://searchlogistics.com/blogging/
Wow! You making a great deal of money from it. Are these the amount you earned from this blog only? Do you mind explaining a bit how you make so much money from the relatively little amounts of visitor you get? You are making approx 1$ per visitor. That’s incredible! Thanks again for the tutorials!
Because my blog is optimised to attract relevant traffic, rather than just focusing on high levels of traffic. No point having a high number of visitors if they just leave straight away, increasing my bounce rate (an indirect ranking factor).
Please can you give us some strategies on creating an income through blogging.
https://searchlogistics.com/work/
Interesting thing is the graph of income that you have shared Haha! Thanks for sharing this valuable tutorial. I am trying to start blogging but have to have good command on English language. Hopefully sooner will be able to do it.
