Income Report for August 2022
Welcome to my August 2022 blog income report!

Note: The numbers in parentheses are from the same month in the previous year. I’m retrieving these numbers from Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Semrush, Convertkit, and my social media platforms.
Pageviews: 37,668 (34,595)
Sessions: 32,433 (28,983)
Users: 28,881 (25,661)
Organic Sessions (Google): 12,718 (8284)
Social Sessions: 9091 (11,146)

Social Media
As noted in previous months I won’t report these numbers until I’m caught up on these reports (I’m doing retrospectively).
Posts published: 0 (2)
Google Search Console stats
Google Search Console total impressions: 515k (286k)
Google Search Console total clicks: 11.5k (6.83k)
Average Click through rate: 2.2% (2.4%)
Average Position: 21.3 (25.4)
SEMRUSH stats
Again, I can’t report these as I’m doing it retrospectively.
August BLOG INCOME REPORT:
Advertising
Mediavine: $743.97 ($784.24)
Pageview RPM: $22.94 ($27.06)
Affiliates
Note: I’m reporting everything in US Dollars.
Amazon US: $98.82 ($55.25)
Amazon CANADA: $3.81 ($5.31)
Amazon UK: $31.84 ($18.12)
Amazon OVERALL: $134.47 ($78.68)
Betterhelp: $0 and 8 conversions ($0 and 5 conversions)
ShareASale: 0 (0)
Awin: $23.81 ($35.11)
Social Pro Now: $205.50 ($37.85)
Affiliates Overall: $363.78 ($151.64)
I think going forward I should be focusing on fewer affiliates but really making sure the links are on every post. These affiliates would be Betterhelp, Social Pro Now, Amazon, and maybe, Awin (Etsy). If I do this four way split, each would only need to earn $250 per month to add up to $1000 in affiliates. For some like Social Pro Now and Betterhelp, this should be too hard. Even Amazon, if I have more posts with more links.
