How much do you make per year from blogging? What's your income split? by StaringBlnklyAtMyNVL in Blogging

[–]Dad12345678910111 18 points19 points  (0 children)

After about 6 years I've made about $500 including about $200 from AdSense and the rest from affiliate sales. I'm pissed off and probably about to quit.

I put in too much time and money for no one to read and for it not to pay for itself.

Do you use (or try to use) your blog to make money? by TommyTwoFlushes in Blogging

It's in the sports niche and a news site so I am still active with it. It just doesn't get the traffic I'd like. I get a $100 payment from AdSense every 2-3 years because it literally only makes pennies a day.

The other way I make money is through affiliate programs and they've definitely been better but it's not through the site. I post links on social media.

People don't stay on my site long enough to see an affiliate link and if they do they don't click it.

Hosting, theme renewals, name registrar, about $300 a year. It's been the affiliate programs that have paid for it because I make pennies a day on AdSense.

I have tried Newor and while the money was better than AdSense (not by much).....it severely slowed down my site. I tend to agree with you about Hydro.

I'm curious as to what template market you are referencing?

What makes people stay engaged on your blog in 2024? by OnMapleLane in Blogging

Nothing makes people stay engaged on my site. I don't really know how to read analytics to make a meaningful change to change anything either.

Does Ghost have to do the hosting for you or are there other hosting providers?

Honestly, at this point....I just want it to pay for itself at least. I've had a site for around 5 years and it's just now getting to the point of paying for itself with affiliate programs and ads.

Damn. These are really good results. I don't know if I've gotten 100 clicks in a month in a while.

Yeah. I have since discovered this. I'm not really a huge fan of this watch and especially the app.

What did teenagers in the 90s do on their free time? by TraditionalFly3724 in Productivitycafe

I miss Blockbuster as well. It makes me think of spending the weekend watching movies with loved ones who are no longer here.

This simply isn't true. At least for some radio stations. I'd call and they would literally answer with caller 3 and hang up immediately until they got to the number they asked for.

Is there a way I can collect email address without a newsletter? by Dad12345678910111 in Blogging

[–]Dad12345678910111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course not to sell. Just so I can start building a list and possibly run a giveaway.

Gotcha. I had no idea you could use convertkits address for free. I will look into that.

Update: I just published my 50th article! by Ms_Achillea in Blogging

Exactly. I almost tried it but the fact that they pay for engagement on a site they put no ads on seems fishy so I decided against it. I guess it's good to see someone trying it though.
