Website Income report for June 2022. Not a terrible month but my website income has definitely dropped down a lot since the peak. But still, I can't complain about making $1900 from websites. 3 years ago I didn't make anything.

We had an okay month this month in terms of total revenue, but in terms of website revenue
0:07
we were hit pretty hard. Still, though, in the grand scheme of things, it's really good income, so I can't complain too much
0:16
I was hoping that by the end of this year, I would be making close to $5,000 per month
0:21
but it's looking more like I'll be lucky to be over $3,000 per month, which is still good income
0:27
So let's take a look at all the numbers and see where I'm at. So this is my first website
0:34
And you'll see this month it's had an 11% decrease in traffic
0:39
And it's actually been going down for a few months now. So last month it had like another 20%
0:44
And so now it's only making 27,000 views per month. And just a couple months ago it was making like 40,000
0:52
So it's gone down close to 50%. And here's the Google Search Console for the last 16 months
0:57
So you can just see how it's been performing and the growth right here in April and it's been doing pretty good for a while and then right here the May update
1:07
It came down quite a bit and it looks like it started to come up a little bit again and then this kind of leveling out
1:15
So hopefully no more updates anytime soon and it will just stay at this level and
1:22
Maybe the next update it'll go back up, but hopefully it doesn't go down anymore
1:27
from here. This is site number two. This site has been doing pretty good for a while, so it wasn't really hit negatively by the Maycor update, thankfully. So this month it was up 3.7%. From 2385 to 2475. So not bad. Here's the search console for the last 16 months. So you just see nice, slow and steady growth. And right here is, and it's a seasonal niche. It's an outdoor hobby, so right here in the cold season, it had its little dip
1:57
and then coming back, it just keeps going and going. So nice climb here
2:06
I haven't added any content to the site for a long time. And I feel like it's reaching its peak
2:12
I'm not 100% sure, but I'm thinking it might be the optimal time to sell this website
2:18
so I might need to look into that. This is site number four. This is my mega case study site, so this will be a separate video
2:24
This is my site I bought from Carl. months ago and you see it was hit really hard again down another 61% but I didn't realize
2:34
this when I was looking at it earlier it looks like at the end of June it actually came back
2:40
up so I was getting about 32 sessions per day and then right at June it popped up to 150
2:48
sessions so I don't know maybe it'll return to the 4,000 per month still not where it used to be
2:55
when I first bought the website, but that would be a lot better if it continues at this range
3:02
So we'll just have to see how next month turns out. This is the Google Search Console for the last 16 months
3:09
So you'll see, it had a rise up here. Right here is the Maycore update
3:14
I don't know what caused this, why the impressions went way up, but the clicks didn't. But that just lasted a couple days, and then it returned normal
3:21
And then now recently, it came back up. which is looking pretty good
3:27
It almost looks like it's returning to the previous before the Maycore update
3:32
So maybe we'll get lucky with this one. So this is site number seven. This is my website, my brand website, tortoisecashflow.com
3:40
I haven't really added any articles to it, but people go to it because I have a resource page
3:45
where you can just see all the things that I use for blogging
3:49
Yeah, it has all my affiliate links and stuff, and you can just check out my recommended tools
3:53
It now also has a page at the top to click on my keyword service
3:59
So I offer a service on Fiverr where you can get low competition keywords
4:04
And if you go to my website now, there's actually a page, my keyword service, where you can just read up on it
4:11
I put some reviews that I got. I got one from Fix where he reviewed four different services and mine was one of them
4:19
I also got a review from Sean Mars or his whole video just dedicated to me
4:23
my service he went over each keyword that I gave him and why he did or didn't like
4:28
it or was gonna write for it and these are some reviews that I got on Fiverr I just copy and pasted them onto this page and then here a send me your feedback so if you create a video reviewing my service or want to send me a text feedback in text form then i
4:46
will add it to this page and here's just a link where you can click to buy the service and it takes
4:51
you to fiverr where you can get five keywords for 15 dollars 14 keywords for 40 or 25 keywords for
4:59
And you can just see you have three orders in the queue so I need to get to those after I make this video and
5:05
11 reviews all positive so everybody seems to like my service So I'll leave a link down in the description box below if you want to buy some keywords or you can just go to tortoise cashflow.com
5:17
And check it out yourself. So this is my tortoisecashflow.com website over the last 16 months
5:24
So you'll see it's just Slowly grown a little bit I'm not sure what articles
5:29
really are ranking. I guess I could check it out. It looks like Tortoise Cashflow is ranking
5:34
so I guess people are just Googling my name. Then the review on popcorn. I think it's mostly
5:40
just people typing in Tortoise Cash Flow in Google and clicking on my website. This is site number
5:46
eight. This site was definitely positively affected by the May core update. So you'll see it had a 65
5:52
increase in traffic. However, like I said in the last update, it's just one article that just
5:59
went crazy. Not really sure why. But I don't expect these traffic numbers to stay. Eventually it'll
6:06
go back to whatever it was making before the update. But for now, I'm enjoying this. So this is the
6:12
search console over the last 16 months. So you see right here in the May update, it just had a
6:17
huge spike. So it went from making like 62 clicks a day, all the way up to 208 per day
6:24
But like I said, unfortunately, it's just one article that really saw that
6:29
this huge growth so eventually that article will get knocked down and it'll go back to normal this one
6:36
is my gaming channel so i haven't really added any articles to it is what the website looks like grindrage
6:43
com just some tips and tricks and stuff i only had had four articles i mostly just made this website
6:49
for when i do make detailed videos on youtube and i can post them on here and hopefully rank on
6:55
Google and just make my SEO better for both YouTube and Google
7:01
This is the search console for the last 16 months, so not really a whole lot happening here
7:06
Probably most of the clicks are just coming from people from YouTube, just checking out the website because they're curious
7:14
I need to create more articles that are more detailed, but whenever I do that, obviously I have to make a video to go with that because the main focus on this is the YouTube channel
7:25
And mostly I'm just doing let's plays right now, which you can't really make an article for a let's play, which that's why I haven't added any content to the website
7:34
All right. And this is my Otis case study site, so this will be a separate video as well
7:40
This is site number 11. This is the site I bought a couple months ago for 12,000, which is doing really good
7:48
It was making over a thousand bucks a month for a while. When I bought it, it was only supposed to be making $400 bucks, so I was just enjoying a few months where it was making crazy money
7:55
but now it's been knocked down quite a bit. Still making decent money
8:00
It's still worth way more than what I paid for it, so that's awesome. But this month is down 35%
8:05
So from 28,000 to 18,000. And this is the site that I'm heavily going to focus on now
8:11
I've already moved all my writers except for two, and I'm going to get some more keywords and move one of those writers to this website
8:19
hopefully this month sometime. And I'll only have one other writer, which is working on the Otis site
8:25
And once that site gets all the articles wrote, I have like 200 keywords or so
8:30
Once all those are wrote, I'll get him on this website as well. And we'll have all, I think, five writers focused on this website, doing probably 40 to 50 posts per month and really get this site going
8:42
This is the search console over the last 16 months. So you see it just had really good growth all the way until the May core update
8:49
And then it got knocked down quite a bit from 800 clicks down to 500
8:53
Still, a really good site, still doing good, and hopefully it'll stay at this level for a little while, and then slowly work its way back up
9:01
And this is the site I bought recently for like 1200, I think
9:06
Really good deal on this site. This one was also hit negatively so down 29 from 14 sessions to 10 Here the Google Surrence Console It doesn really go back that far I guess because I just got the site and it didn have search console before that I guess
9:23
I'm not really sure why. It's hard to really see any trends from this. I also made some money on Fiverr this month
9:29
This is the yearly income from Fiverr. So you see February made 68, then 148 in April, May 132
9:38
And in June, this month, I made a $1,000. 124. But like I said, I'll leave a link in the description where you can buy the service
9:44
get low-car petition keywords, you can get five keywords for $15, 14 keywords for 40
9:50
or 25 keywords for $70. And 11 reviews, all five stars, so people are happy with the service
9:57
All right, so next I'll go over all my income for all my websites. So on Amazon this month
10:01
we made $282.15, which is pretty bad because if you come down here and do this year
10:08
you can see that it's the worst month of the year. So last month I made 500
10:12
I usually make over 500 except for February. And now June, I made 282
10:18
So pretty bad. But you see, I only made, I only got preparing the clicks
10:23
about 900 clicks less than last month. So I think it might just be because we're kind of going into a recession
10:30
that people are just not willing to spend as much money. As the world gets better, hopefully people spend more money and this will go back up
10:37
because going down only a thousand clicks, you wouldn't think my revenue would go down by almost half
10:43
So with AdSense this month, I made $249.25. In Ezoic, you can see we got hit pretty big
10:51
So in May, we made 1,412 from Ezoic. June, 914. So down quite a bit
10:58
Come down here. June, our total earnings was $1,10.47. I guess mediation helped us quite a bit this month
11:05
So we're actually only down about 400, which is still quite a bit of money, but not as bad as it could be, thanks to mediation, I guess
11:15
So not only did our traffic go down, but also our EPMV. My theory on that is a lot of the articles that we lost rankings for that we're losing traffic on are commercial intent keywords, which would naturally have a higher EPMV
11:31
So I'm thinking what happened is that Maycore update. probably put a lot of e-commerce sites above blog websites. And so that's why we lost a lot of
11:43
traffic. And that's why I'm losing the EPMV because my commercial keywords are not getting as
11:48
many views. Now I'll just go over all my websites and how much each one made, how much I spent on
11:54
them, and what my total earnings for this month was. All right, so site one, our total gross income
11:59
was $561.39. So you see in January it was up to $1,300
12:06
and it's just been going down all year, down to $561. So hopefully it'll go back up over time
12:16
Hopefully the EPMVs will go back up and this site will go back to making around $1,000 per month
12:23
But we'll see. I'm taking a break from this website and just letting it sit
12:28
collecting the money, money into a different website so we'll see what happens we spent a total of 266
12:35
and 75 cents so you see the article expenses definitely went down and so our net
12:40
income for this month was 294 and 64 cents site number two this one made
12:46
eighty eight dollars and seventy eight cents didn't spend anything and let this
12:50
site's been slowly growing all year and it's made a total of 436 and 32
12:56
And this is the site that I'm thinking about selling, so I might look into that and post it on FLIPA
13:02
This is site number 7, tortoisecashflow.com. It made 90 cents. This is site number four, my mega case study site
13:10
This is my gaming site. This is my high ticket item site that I bought from Carl
13:15
So you'll see the organic sessions definitely went down quite a bit. At its peak, when I owned it, it was making $4.49.99
13:22
Yeah, now you can see that it's down to $115. But as you saw in the ytics, it looked like it had a spike in traffic towards the end
13:32
So I'm hoping that this number goes back to 200 per month, which wouldn't be too bad
13:37
I mean, it would still be pretty bad, but I could live with that. Site number eight, this is the site that I bought a while ago for like $2,400, I believe
13:46
This is the one that had a huge spike and traffic on one article It made I spent on articles So our total net income was This is my Otis case study site separate video This is site number 11
14:04
the site that I bought for $12,000. See, the sessions went down quite a bit. But still, the income is
14:10
still pretty good. So like I said, this site was making like $400 when I bought it. And now it's making
14:15
731 and 41 cents so not as much as it used to make but still really good income for a 12,000
14:23
site I spent 615 and 51 articles like I said I'm going to focus heavily on this website so the net
14:30
income was 115 and 90 cents now this is my last site site number 12 this is the site about a little
14:37
while ago for 1400 the site was only making like maybe 40 or 50 bucks with ad cents when I
14:43
bought it and I put it on the Ezoic and now it's making 228 and 14 cents so this one's doing
14:49
really good for a $1,400 site if you're not using Ezoic you should definitely sign up I'll
14:54
leave a link in the description box below but yeah when I bought this site the guy
14:58
had it on AdSense it was making like 50 bucks that's why I got it for about $1,400 when
15:03
it had and took it put it on Ezoic and it's still making what it was making on
15:08
AdSense maybe a little bit less but now it's also making 150 on Ezoic plus
15:13
48 with premium. So it's definitely worth it to sign up for Ezoic and get your site on there
15:20
There's no requirements now. Anybody can join no matter what your traffic level is
15:25
So there's really no reason not to sign up and give it a try. So again, link in the description
15:29
box below. Sign up with my link. It is an affiliate link and I'll learn a commission at no cost to you
15:34
So it really helps out the channel and I appreciate if you do that. I also made a little bit of money this month with my YouTube channel. So I've made a total of
15:43
3,336 and 9 cents. That's mostly from affiliate programs and stuff. I can't really go too much into detail
15:52
but there was one affiliate program thing that just paid pretty decent this month
15:58
It's not going to pay that every month. I just got lucky this month. Yeah, I can't go in too much detail about that
16:03
but that's how much money I made from this YouTube channel this month
16:08
And I also made $132 in June from my fiber in the total for my website
16:13
websites was $1,935.97. So down quite a bit from the previous month
16:21
My expenses also went up. So in terms of websites, my total profit is actually negative $235.85 this month
16:30
So hopefully we can get this back to $2,000 per month like it used to be
16:35
It's almost there. Still better than I was making in January February. Now if we get our handy-dandy calculator out, we can figure out exactly how much money
16:43
made this month so take the one nine three five point ninety seven plus the fiber money is
16:52
one three two plus the youtube money is three two seven seven sixty six cents so we made a
17:03
total of five thousand three hundred and sixty three cents this month not too bad
17:08
now if we go ahead and subtract the expenses spend fifty eight forty eight forty
17:13
on YouTube minus 2171 and 82 cents on websites
17:25
Our total profit for this month was $3,115.38. So like I said, overall, not a bad month for this month in terms of total revenue, but in terms of sites, it does suck
17:38
It looks like we went down about $800 from last month. and about $1,100 from our all-time high this month, this year
17:49
But still, I've been blogging for three years, and to be making $5,000 this month
17:55
and be making $1,900 per month and websites, I think that's still pretty good
18:02
So I can't complain too much. I'm happy with that revenue. Hopefully we can keep getting it up and get to $3,000 per month by the end of the year
18:09
If you're thinking about signing up with Ezoic, I'm going to go ahead and leave a video that I created recently
18:13
about how to set up your site with EZOIC. It's a super beginner-friendly video
18:19
I make it super simple, step-by-step guide. If you already have EZOIC, then I'll leave a video right here
18:25
