An interesting side note: When I first started working for About.com I earned a flat monthly fee of $750 per month PLUS $1 per 1000 pageviews. Yes, that site gets a ton of traffic, but still! I’m making $40 per 1000 pageviews now. I just need the traffic.

Monthly expenses:

Email (Convertkit): $99

: $13.60 (use  and discount code KSDISC to save 20%)

Teachable: $39

Canva: $13.54

WordPress Support from iMark Interactive: $27

Conversion AI: $28.68 (I dropped it for part of the month)

Bluehost: $17.99

When I first started the site, I got the domain and hosting from Bluehost. I still have my domain with them so this is paying for the domain renewal. I recommend starting out with Bluehost for your domain and hosting if you’re just getting started! The price is very reasonable and it’s easy to get started.

Total expenses: $238.81 ($337.42)

Net blog income: $1002.76 ($866.46)

Thoughts about this month’s income report:

I’m reasonably happy with this month’s income report aside from the low number of product sales. However, I was not focusing on this area during this month.

Did I Meet my Goals for September

I had no goals other than to keep writing posts according to the Project 24 timelines. I achieved this goal in September.

Goals for October:

  • Continue to write P24 posts.

Back Burner Goals:

These continue to be the same.

  • Affiliate launch for Audible audiobook subscription
  • Work on finishing Stupid Simple SEO
  • Add to my Etsy Shop
  • Run Facebook Ads
  • Create more Products
  • Focus on Instagram profile (improving)
  • Add an affiliate program in Teachable
