A bit more positive, for the first time in a long time! Quite a few websites chipped in to ease my financial worries!
April is the cruelest month. Except for my garden, which loved it.
A so-so month. Fairly poor in terms of website income, but not catastrophic.
My portfolio of websites goes from strength to strength, making me richer than Elon Musk. Or not.
My websites didn’t have a great month overall, but there were some bright spots and my new online course is progressing nicely.
Not the bonanza I was hoping for - far from it, in fact. But there were some bright spots among the general malaise.
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...
Despite many assets underperforming, one shining star and one big sale made July a great month for my website making business.
Income was good in June, but the big news was me selling one of my niche sites.
Some of my sites were hit by a bug in a Wordpress plugin, reducing my income at a time when I have some serious bills coming up. Goddamit, Yoast!
Looking back on April, I did almost nothing in terms of building websites. I can't think of any articles I wrote, ordered, or edited. But the websites kept chugging along and made me a healthy income.
Did I recover from my first manual Google penalty? Did my other websites chip in enough to live on? Did I spend an idiotic amount on new content? Find out here, dear reader.
My first major setback! While moving house and having a ghastly case of Manflu. A real mixed bag of a month, where the bag is mostly filled with robotic enemies from Black Mirror.
While people are making and losing fortunes in Tulips/Bitcoin, I'm quietly earning a full-time income from a bunch of websites.
In the last week 3 people have written to me asking for advice about their Amazon affiliate sites. Their stories were all the same - they've been working hard, building their sites, getting links, but hit a ceiling they couldn't seem to smash.
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.
