Hello and welcome to my March 2019 blog income report! If you’ve ever wondered how to make money as a blogger & get inspired by reading blogging income reports, this post will show you how to turn your blog into a profitable side hustle!
I published my first income report back in February to show you it’s possible to make money online with a small blog.
You’re probably wondering why I wanted to share personal information on my income with the public. Honestly, I was debating whether or not I should share my income with the world because I was afraid that it would come across as bragging. That’s definitely not the case. My sincere dream is to help others who want to earn extra money on top of their full-time jobs. Plus blogging income reports are what motivated me to start blogging in the first place!
Believe it or not, I had so many fears when I first started blogging. These were: fear of putting myself out there, fear of self-promotion, fear of rejection, and the fear of not being good enough.
Despite these fears, I’m determined because deep down I know that blogging has many positive benefits that align with the big goals I have set for myself. These goals are so much more important to me then silly fears I know I will get over.

I share some of the affiliate programs that have made me the most money as well as some of the automation platforms that help my small business grow (without costing me a lot of money).
The only hosting service I recommend using
If you read blogging income reports often and want to start your own, I recommend to start blogging today with the same hosting company I use, Bluehost!
I am so happy to announce that I was able to negotiate a really low monthly subscription for my readers. For a limited time, you can start your blog for only $2.95/month when you sign up with Bluehost That’s over 50% off regular pricing!

With each article that I publish, I can feel my confidence growing. I receive emails and comments from readers saying how a post helped them or how it made their day better. I’m so blown away to the point of actual tears. So thank you so much for stopping by and reading my blog! I’m so grateful for every single one of you.
Normally I write 4-6 posts a month. I’ve been slacking recently due to personal problems
If you like the idea of making an extra couple hundred per month, you can start your very own blog today with the same hosting company I use.

So are you ready to read my march income breakdown and learn how to make money as a blogger?
Let’s dive right in!
March Income Breakdown
- Awin – $120
- Impact Radius – $101.50
- ShareASale – $46.78
- Adsense – $33.85
- ConvertKit – $34
- Flexoffers – $51

Total: $392.29
Bloggers can make money a ton of different ways. This includes sponsored posts, affiliate marketing, and advertising. Here’s a breakdown of how I earned $ this month. Hopefully, this helps!
Advertising
Adsense – Google’s adsense is very easy to apply to. You don’t need any traffic, just a privacy policy stating that you receive commission from ads placed on your blog, and a couple of posts. I made $33.85 this month from Adsense.
Mediavine – Once you reach 25,000 sessions per month you can apply to
Affiliate Marketing
Another way bloggers make money is from Affiliate Marketing
ConvertKit – I’ve been blogging now for four months and trust me when I say I’ve read nearly everything I could read online about blogging. One regret that has been repeated by bloggers is that they didn’t start an email list FROM DAY ONE. If you’re brand new at blogging I suggest downloading the free plugin Sumome to collect emails, BUT and this is a big BUTTTTT, there’s a limit to 200 subscribers and once you reach that limit you have to choose a plan that’s $39 per month. ConvertKit is $29 a month plus they have a useful blog that gives actionable tips that I used to maximize my email marketing strategy.
Impact Radius – I promote Hostgator through Impact Radius and get $50 per referral through my Start A Blog Article and Email course. I’m also an affiliate for Swagbucks that gets me $1.50 per signup. Impact is a little harder to get accepted to into but you can meet their requirements here.

Hi Joanna!
Eléa here. I just wanna ask what best language to use if you are in a non english speaking country.
I can definitely write in English but lives in Austria so English not perfect.
Or would it be best to use write both language in the blog? Do I need to worry about this? Is there any option from the Website to translate it? Will that cost me extra?
Will highly appreciate your respond. Thanks for that great info above.
Hello, Eléa and thank you for your question! One of the most common questions I get from new bloggers is whether they should blog in their own language or try to do it in English, even though they don’t feel that confident.
Personally I think you should write in your native language when you are first starting out. My advice is to start posting whatever you can in order to get over the awkwardness of writing online. At the same time, watch youtube videos on english writing and/or pick up a couple of easy english books to familiarize yourself with proper grammar, sentence structure and spelling. This all depends on your goals for blogging as well.
In the end, it is all really about your goals. For example, if your goal is to promote local business or brands that you can purchase in your country, and the reader/website visitor is also Austrian, then there is not much point doing a content marketing campaign in English. Blog Tyrant has a really good article here on what language you whould write your blog in, I would definitely check it out if you are still confused
Also, if you have any more questions, feel free to msg me: hello@joannarahier.com
Kind Regards,
Joanna
Hello Joanna,
I wanted to ask, was your writing always so good? What did you start writing about when you just started? How did you find what content will get traffic?
How did you find what is interesting to people?
Thank you,
Greetings Alina! Thanks for your comment 🙂 I never considered myself a great writer but I definitely improved my abilities by making writing a daily habit. I don’t think anyone is great when they first start out they just get better by not giving up. I wrote about whatever I was interested in when I first started, and after throwing a bunch of different topics out there on Pinterest I started noticing that people were more interested in a specific style of content. In business, we call it product-market fit. The rest was history as they say 🙂
