Blogging Income Report for August | Making Mommy Money Online


Blogging Income Report for A Cotton Kandi Life. Blogging Incomes. How to make Money Online. Mom Blogger Incomes WAHM Income Report. How to make money Blogging. Blogging Money Reports.For the month of August, I was deep into Wedding Season over at Green-Eyed Girl Productions. In the 4 weeks of August we did 6 weddings. {phew! Survivied} That essentially means that I truly, officially did absolutely nothing on either blog… I just let the cruise… and this is how I did…

If you’re just joining in on this monthly income report series, my goal for 2016 is to expand this blog into a financial contributor so that I can stay home more and learn with my Hooligans.

I write 2 blogs, this mom blog {You’re here! Thanks!} and another blog for my career as a Wedding & Event Coordinator, which you can find HERE. This report is a combination of the two blogs. Truth be told, it IS wedding season right now, so I am busy with my in person clients {really busy} so blogging is taking a back seat for the next few months. I’m actually heading out the door for a rehearsal right now! #ALLSummerFridays


Please join me by subscribing below as this Newbie Blogger fumbles her way through each Ah-Ha moment and forehead slap…perhaps I’ll save you a month or two on your own blog! 

To get the full rundown on my 2016 Game Plan visit my original Mommy Money on the Internet Post HERE.

The punch line for the year is to:

Build the Internet into a bigger financial contributor

Year Goal: $4,750
{2015 = $1,923.80}

August enters…

On Cruise Control

 

After my migration in July and being knee deep in weddings, I just let the blogs go on their own. I did manage to squeak out a few online sales and despite zero promotional efforts…

 Here are this month’s results:

Sales Goals

As stated in my original post I believe in order to accomplish a larger blog income I must continually work at increasing my Internet presence and “impact” which is calculated by the Klout App. Klout measures your internet REACH and how many people you’re influencing.

My current Klout Stats:

Klout Score 77 or higher- Currently at 56

                August Report: I now have 1292 followers!

In Closing

August= $752.34

To date I’ve made
