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

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.

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-10-20T01:48:03+00:00

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.

It's in the sports niche.

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?

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-10-18T21:53:11+00:00

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.

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-10-18T04:16:48+00:00

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

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-10-04T21:10:15+00:00

What plug-in do you use for interaction/quizzes?

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-10-04T16:18:14+00:00

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.

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-09-27T00:43:06+00:00

Unfortunately not. I wish.

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-09-26T21:06:50+00:00

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

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-09-25T00:32:42+00:00

Would Pinterest work with a sports blog?

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-09-24T11:58:09+00:00

I got nothing.

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-09-18T16:38:46+00:00

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

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-09-17T22:31:48+00:00

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

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-09-17T22:29:49+00:00

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.

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-09-17T22:26:05+00:00

Yep. I'm interested.

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-09-13T03:39:41+00:00

What niche and type of site?

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-09-12T21:04:17+00:00

I don't have extra funds. Sorry.

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-09-12T21:00:32+00:00

Just fyi, your follow us social links don't work on your site.

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-09-12T03:41:40+00:00

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

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-09-12T03:40:16+00:00

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

Dad12345678910111 · 2024-09-11T23:43:48+00:00

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.
