125
Hi,

I started my blogging journey with Woblogger blog on 04th August in 2014. In fast four months, I got about 20 visitors per day and within first month I made about $125.

It is my first income and it is an small amount. But, it gives me a huge confidence.

From the beginning, my traffic stats:

Page views - 8273
Users - 1355
Sessions - 2072
Bounce rate - 11.44%
Avg. session duration - 04:14

Here is an screenshot of my traffic stats.

    I did not use adsense beause of low traffic. I used affiliate marketing.

    • Good idea. From what I see, Adsense is not what it used to be.
  • Congratulations.

    That's a really low bounce rate so you must be doing something that your visitors want and keeping them engaged.

    Do you use any video on the site?

    Are your affiliate sales through banners, products links etc. or do you capture leads and then market to them?

      I thinks following reasons helps me to decrease the bounce rate.
      • I always publish long posts.
      • Inter-linking between relevant posts is very important.
      • Clear design of my blog.
      • I add links of well reputed, high pr, relevant blog posts.
      In some posts, I use videos. Using videos id very effective.

      I promote affiliate links with coupon codes, great reviews. I answers for following questions in my post.
      • What is the product or service?
      • Who can use it?
      • What are the benefits of that product or service?
      • How to use it?
      • Customer support?
      • Discount?
      • Pros and cons?
      I also include product promotional videos.

  • Are you using links as events in analytics or is that a true organic bounce rate?

      This is my true organic bounce rate for fast four months. I saw many top bloggers have high bounce rate.

  • Great job! Did you get the $125 in affiliate revenue from one sale or was this from multiple sales? I still have had ZERO success with affiliate revenue even with decent traffic numbers.

      My first sale is about $65 and others are $40 and $20. Good targeted traffic very important for conversion. Build traffic manually.

  • well done you! know you'v got your feet wet and know what works it is time for you to start scaling up and start seeing the big bucks!
  • I'd say get some more traffic then go adsense. It's going to be hard to make money from adsense but you can use it to supplement your income, but based on your current traffic you won't make much.

  • Hi Webn1110,

    Congratulation! I have also just started a blog, but for many month there is no sales and no optin, even Adsense has banned my account. Every month I am just paying for web hosting and auto-responder for nothing.

    May I take a look at your blog?

    What are the methods that you used to build targeted traffic?
  • Wow, that’s a big earning for a first try in blogging. Congratulations. I wonder what kind of blog you have to get such good traffic. I know a lot who tried to earn income from blogging but fail to generate good amount for almost a year. Some even stop trying to earn from blogging while others tried different strategies to generate traffic. I would love to hear your story.

    Congratulations..

    Keep doing this.. In my first month, i got nothing. After that, i made about $200 per month..

    I'm trying to increase it.
  • so u mean affiliate gives better earning than adsense?
    • [1] reply
    • It depends on the affiliate offer you're signed up with. Adsense pays per click or $1-2 per 1000 views.
      With a good affiliate offer, you may get $50 commission per sale. I've even heard of people giving away $500 commission per sale.
  • Congrats, $125 is definitely a great first income, only thing you need to focus on now is scaling it like a mad man!
