March Blog Income Report + April Goals

March income report

March was a pretty rough month. With everything going on with the COVID 19 virus, there was a pretty deep decline in my income unfortunately. However I have still been trying to keep up with my blog and trying to grow my income. Today I figured I would share with you guys my income for March as well as my goals for the month of April. So check it out!

 

March Blog Income Report + April Goals

 

The purpose of writing income reports

I decided to write income reports to help chronicle my journey of making money as a blogger as well as giving me goals to reach consistently. I am hoping that these income reports that I write will give anyone interested in blogging into what the real world of blogging is like and how to learn from my examples whether from mistakes I make… or things I successfully accomplish.

 

Wins for March

Secured 1 brand deal.

I used a blog network and completed a sponsorship.

I pitched 3 PR brands that either emailed me or I found that they were looking for bloggers/influencers to work with. Secured 2 brand collabs.

I ended up receiving some free products from the gluten free brand bNutty and a natural chocolate brand, Choc Zero which was pretty cool. They sent me a box filled with fancy peanut butter and a bag filled with chocolate.

Fails

Applied to Octoly and they said I didn’t meet their criteria when I did.

I find that some blog networks can be very vague about someone meeting their blog criteria. They didn’t say anything about a limit of how many likes were needed or anything, but for some reason they didn’t accept me into their program.

Didn’t make any affiliate sales.

I didn’t really try promoting my affiliate linked posts too much. I plan on changing that this month.

My overall blog income declined greatly because of the Coronavirus.

So usually I have way more sponsorship sales on Fiverr around this time of year, but the decline has been strong with everything going on in the world. I did have people reach out to me about working with me, but I think they’re probably waiting out until things settle with the virus going around.
