November 2016 Blog Income Report

Hello there,

Thank you for visiting us today.  This is November 2016 Blog Income Report 2006

If you are planning to start your own blog, check on this post

where I teach HOW TO START YOUR BLOG IN 5 MINUTES

 

 

It has been a long time since I published my blog income report; mostly because of lack of time to add one more post to the already busy schedule, but also because the earnings weren’t great.

To be honest with you, I felt a bit embarrassed and angry. I wanted to show you improvements, but they were happening as fast as I expected.  Some affiliate programs were changing their commissions and this was affecting my business seriously.

I was not sure what areas I needed to improve or how to increase my earnings again.  Until one day I decided to take a look at Leadpages and engage readers on my content again.

It worked out great.

Just during November, I have gained 2000 new subscribers, with a higher engagement rate ( from 7% to 23%), traffic increment of 32% and sales were higher than ever.

All because of Leadpages.

I can`t be happier and more excited of the future of the blog now.  I will be posting about the best ways to use leadpages on your site soon 😉

the details

TRAFFIC:
how-i-made-2200

As I have mentioned, the traffic has increased by 32% this month only.

To be honest with you, it has been a refreshing new start, with lots of content to share.

In terms of referral traffic, the number one site to promote my content has always been Pinterest. And although that is a great starting point, I am concerned about my organic traffic.  I have been working on optimizing my site during November, and I hope I can focus on this task after New Years.

    I’m really impressed with your Pinterest traffic! Overall, my other referrals line up pretty evenly with yours, but your Pinterest referrals are crazy higher. I’m also impressed with your pattern sales numbers. I’ve visited several times, but have only seen your free patterns. I bet if you made a more obvious “shop” button at the top of your page, more people would find them!
