June at a Glance
I took off a few months writing income reports, but for good reason. Back in July, I decided not to put as much focus into monetizing my blog. That didn’t mean not doing sponsored posts, ads, etc, it just meant I was using more of my time writing content. Now I am back with the June Blog Income Report!
In June, my husband and I found out we were expecting (See our pregnancy announcement here). Well, morning sickness followed for almost 3 weeks and I had no desire to even write articles on my site. Finally, the nausea went away (find out how), but I still felt fatigued. I decided to spend my time on the most important part of a blog, writing.
While I am still in that mindset, I am bringing monthly income reports back. I am starting where I left off to give a full picture and will eventually catch up to recent. I think it’s important for my readers to see how a new blog can grow in such little time.
June also saw my first guest blogger post on my site. This has allowed me to spend less time on my site while still giving my readers quality content.

June Blog Income Report Stats
June saw a decrease in page views, but it makes sense as I took a bunch of time off to recover from morning sickness. I am still proud I almost hit 10,000 page views! My bounce rate also continued to drop slightly, which I am continuing to work on.
June Blog Income Report
Revenue:
Affiliates: $7.74
Ads: $29.95
Sponsored Posts/Products: $203.92
Total: $241.61
Expenses:
Influencer Program Monthly Charge: -$2.99 (I decided after June this program was not for me, so this will be the only charge for this you will see)
Total: $238.62
I didn’t see too much improvement on the Affiliate program I am in. I look to see an increase in the next few months and create 1-2 more promising articles that help increase my numbers here.
Ads saw a small decrease, but I am very happy to still see almost a $30 revenue for the month. That is approximately $1/day.
June was a great month for sponsored posts and products. About half of this revenue carried over from the end of May, but I was officially paid for in June. I expect this to decrease next month as I am putting less effort into sponsored posts and making sure everything matches with my brand.

Congrats on your pregnancy and also your blog! That is a great month, especially considering you weren’t even on the blog much. Well done!

It's always eye opening to look at these income reports. I just started a blog this month and have been working on driving more traffic to my site. Do you have any tips and tricks for something like that? Also, congratulations on your little one! We are expecting and due in a few weeks.

Congratulations on your new blog! There will be times you will be discouraged and not want to write. Back off in those moments and take a week or two off completely and it will refresh you. Focus on writing content and once you have a good amount of articles, then start promoting them more!

I always like to read other blogger's income reports. It looks like you are doing a great job and $238 for the month of June is impressive, especially while dealing with morning sickness!

Thank you Margaret! Yes, it was very tough. It's like I knew it was coming and already had extra articles written (I am never ahead usually) to help me through it.

Congrats on your pregnancy! And that's a pretty decent amount for June. I do want to try and find more ways to monetize my blog, but I'm working hard on getting more page views, etc.

Thank you Lauren! If you work on page views, you will definitely give yourself more opportunities for monetizing your site. Keep at it!
