Food Blog Income Report

This is a food blog income report for month 21 for March 2021. I’m sharing this with you to inspire those of you who want to start your own online platform.

Blogging is such an amazing platform because you have an opportunity to share a hobby as well as learn more about that hobby all while making money from it.

There are so many ways to make money from blogging. In the video below, I explain the different sources of traffic for blogging, how to funnel the traffic, and the various ways you can make an income from it.

In terms of this food blog, I do feel as though the traffic is plateauing. I’m pretty sure I know why – the monster needs content. And it is starving.

Planned Work and New Strategies

#1. Continue Consistent Content Creation

When you start getting bored writing, that’s when you know you’ve made it.

#2. Pinning Weekly

I’ve failed at doing this. I have not been consistent becaues of life.

New Blogging Strategies Outside of Planned Work

I am not implementing any new blog strategies for this specific blog.
