Spinning plates, breaking and remaking websites, pondering shades of pink and chucking logos around like a madman. That was hope I spent November.
The algorithm change that hit my main site at the end of September wasn’t a blip - we lost half our traffic and income.
You’ve been hit by… you’ve been struck by… a Google update. Thanks, tech bros!
August was a pretty good month. My websites made the most money ever, apart from at Christmas. But I reinvested a bunch of cash, so the bottom line isn't that good. And it's becoming more and more clear that I can't afford the house I bought...

A slightly different way of doing things from now on, as my income gets to uncomfortably high levels...
Welcome to my niche site income report for November. Black Friday and Cyber Monday were gooooood neeeeews.
Needless stress, feelings of powerlessness, but still things heading in the right direction. Welcome to my niche site income report for October.

July was a great month with some significant black spots. This is where I break down my income and analyse what's going right and wrong.
A huge spike in income and good profits despite reinvesting huge chunks of money in my website empire. June was ace!
