When I made the decision to stop posting monthly blogging income reports<\/a> and to switch to a quarterly format, I wasn't sure how I would feel about going radio silent for a few months at a time.<\/p>\n However, the first quarter has had a fair share of ups and downs when it comes to the growth of WebMonkey, and my personal life has also been quite up in the air as of late. Overall, I think taking a step back from tracking monthly progress has been quite positive.<\/p>\n I still want to remain 100% transparent in terms of the income I make from blogging, so I'm still going to get into all of the nitty gritty revenue details in this post, as well as some useful blogging tips I have learned along this journey.<\/p>\n Let's get to it!<\/p>\n I'm going to cut to the chase and get right into the income since I know this is what interests many readers.<\/p>\n WebMonkey generated roughly $578.96 <\/strong>over the past 90 days, with income-per-month descending from January to March:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More specifically, my income-per-month breakdown is as follows:<\/p>\n I'll cover why income has slowly decreased over the past 2 months when discussing my monthly traffic over the past 90 days, but I'm quite happy with the fairly stable level of income since Google updates have hit me hard the past 2 months.<\/p>\n In any case, here is how my blog revenue breaks down over the last 90 days:<\/p>\n I've recently added more ad units to my blog and experimented with new ad sizes and various layouts for mobile\/desktop, and I think I'm slowly getting the hang of AdSense optimization the more I tinker with things, which is cool to see!<\/p>\n I definitely recommend other bloggers split test or mix up their display advertising placements every so often to see the impact on revenue! If you are ever lost on how to even effectively implement AdSense on your blog, you can also hire plenty of skilled developers on Fiverr<\/a> for less than $50.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I expect RPMs (revenue per thousand views) to increase in Q2 as January\/February often see a RPM dip following the massive amount of ad spending during the holidays.<\/p>\n As usual, I don't make any money through course sales, and I think I have a fairly weak affiliate presence on WebMonkey (I find it hard to write single product\/service reviews since I don't personally purchase many of them for blogging\/personal finance purposes).<\/p>\n Most of the affiliate income stems from my dropshipping guide<\/a> and from referring new bloggers to SiteGround<\/a> web hosting.<\/p>\nBlogging Income Report – Holding Steady<\/strong><\/h2>\n
