November 2015 Blog Income and Traffic Report

December 7 by Christina Tiplea Filed Under: Blog Income Reports, Self-Employment

Want to know how I made over $1,600 from blogging last month as a stay-at-home Mom? I'm sharing exactly how I earn an income from blogging in my November 2015 Blog Income and Traffic Report. Learn how to earn an income from the comfort of your own home while doing what you love!Hi Friends!

I hope December is treating you well so far and that you are enjoying the holiday season!

November was a great month for me, both in my personal life and on the business side of things.

I spent much of November prepping for Savor the Holidays, which is my first-ever course I created and I am so excited about it! I’m really proud of how it turned out and have been loving the positive feedback I’ve been receiving from everyone participating. I’ve realized how much of a passion I have for creating solutions that help others to live a life they love, and I am looking forward to be able to do more of that in the future.

I’m back with another income report, so let’s jump in!

If you’re new here – The reason that I share my blog income reports is because I think it’s a great way to show that it is possible to earn an income online doing something you enjoy and are passionate about. I want to provide inspiration and encouragement to those of you reading who have doubts about your abilities to be able to make an income through blogging. This is also a great forum for me to share my experience in trying to earn an honest income from my blog, and all of the tips and tricks that I learn along the way.

If you are interested in starting a blog, I created a tutorial to help you start a profitable blog of your own in only 4 easy steps.

Want to know how I made over $1,600 from blogging last month as a stay-at-home Mom? I'm sharing exactly how I earn an income from blogging in my November 2015 Blog Income and Traffic Report. Learn how to earn an income from the comfort of your own home while doing what you love!

  • Savor the Holidays mini course – $276.50
  • Google Adsense – $87.06
  • Sponsored Posts – $900
  • GoDaddy – $210 –> How to Start a Blog
  • IZEA – $0
  • Amazon Associates – $29.86
  • Additional Affiliate Programs – $125.26

Total Income: $1,628.68 (+$140.58 compared to last month)

Expenses

The P.O. Box & Tailwind expenses are actually a yearly expense that I paid in entirety for a year, but I feel like breaking it out into monthly increments helps to see a more accurate picture of my total expenses compared to income.

  • Savor the Holidays Affiliate Payouts – $66.75
  • Gumroad Transaction Fees – $22.40
  • P.O Box – $4.67
  • Tailwind – $10

Total Expenses: $103.82

November 2015 Net Profit: $1,524.86

Traffic Report

I received 74,371 page views in the month of November (+16,487 compared to last month)

Income Analysis

It’s feels really good to say that I’ve had my “best blogging month ever” for the second month in a row now.  I’m really happy with my blogging income for the month of November!

The income category that I am by far the most proud of is my Savor the Holidays course. Although I likely earned just a few dollars per hour for my time spent creating the course (I made a rookie mistake and didn’t track it), it was such a blast putting together, and the awesome feedback that I’ve received from those who are participating makes me feel so good knowing that it’s helping others to savor and enjoy this holiday season 🙂

I learned so much through the process of creating my course too, it was a learning experience through and through and I’m so very glad that I did it! The coolest part to me is that I was able to create something entirely from scratch. Seeing what started out as just an idea in my head turn into a fully fleshed out course is such an awesome feeling, and I look forward to going through this process again.

{p.s. it’s not too late to participate in Savor the Holidays, you can snatch up the workbook here}

Overall, I’ve really been enjoying blogging and this wonderful community my readers have created and I really love that I get to continue being a work-from-home Mom. I feel like pinching myself sometimes because it just seems so surreal that I have the opportunity to create an income from blogging and doing something I love so much all while getting to work from the comfort of my own home and being at home with Little Miss. If that’s not the American dream, then I don’t know what is!

If you are a stay-at-home Mom looking to earn an income while still getting to be home with your babies, or currently work in an office but would love to be self-employed, I truly encourage you to start a blog of your own or check out these other at-home business ideas. Not only does blogging present a really fun way to make money online, but it can open up other opportunities for you too, like becoming a freelance writer!

I’ve been so enjoying this blogging journey and can’t wait to see what 2016 has in store for my blog.

    • Christina TipleaChristina Tiplea says

      Thank you Kristin! The hourly rate that I received for creating my course is probably a small, small fraction of minimum wage but it was honestly SO much fun to put together. I’m excited for your Pinterest course coming out next month and can’t wait to see how that does for you – I’m sure it will be a smashing success!

    Way to have another great month! And I’m impressed that you earned so much with sponsored posts. I’m just starting with those myself, and it is nice to bring in income that way to diversify blog things.

    • Christina TipleaChristina Tiplea says

      December 9 at 12:49 pm

      Thank you so much Kristen! While the sponsored post income is nice and I try my best to only choose opportunities that I think add value for my readers, I still would like to veer away from them a bit more in 2016. I’m discovering that my passion lies more in creating courses/books 🙂

    I just discovered your blog today through Pinterest. Great posts! My goal is to make $1000 a month next year through my blog. I love to see how you’ve done it. My problem is getting enough traffic and followers on both my blog and Pinterest first. I feel like I have great photos and content, yet no one has found me yet. Fingers crossed my hard work will pay off someday. I will bookmark this for when I do.

    • Christina TipleaChristina Tiplea says

      December 9 at 12:54 pm

      Hi Sheri – a big welcome to you! Happy to have you here 🙂 That’s a phenomenal goal! Do you use a scheduling tool? I’ve found using Tailwind really made a huge difference in the amount of traffic I receive from Pinterest. If you haven’t tried Tailwind yet, let me know (email is embracesimple@gmail.com). They have a program where I can offer you a month for free!

    Hi Christina–great post–just wondering what you used to make your e-book? Thanks!

    • Christina TipleaChristina Tiplea says

      December 9 at 12:57 pm

      Thank you Diana! I went the super simple route and did a PDF. It was already quite the learning process for me and I didn’t want to add a new layer of confusion for myself by learning a whole new program too 🙂

    Wow– way to go Christina. I just started following you from your first income blog post last year and look at how far you’ve come in a year! Inspiring. Are you still using “Godaddy” as your domain host and have you had any problems with it?

    • Christina TipleaChristina Tiplea says

      January 4 at 7:51 am

      Thank you Portia!! Yes I am, I love Go Daddy! My site has been down three times this past year, but that is pretty typical for most blogs as they grow. Every time it was down, Go Daddy stayed on the phone with me until it was back up again (always within 15-20 minutes). They have top notch customer service that always makes me feel like I’m in good hands!!

    Hi Christina! I’ve recently discovered your blog and have been catching up on everything! I’m curious about how much time you personally spend on your blog a month. You’re very inspiring keep writing!
