This website I bought from Carl Broadbent is sending me on a roller coaster ride. It completely died, then came back, died, came back, died, and came back! I hope it's here to stay but I guess time will tell.

So this is going to be my income report for July of 2022
0:03
Overall, I don't think it was too bad of a month. So just looking at the ytics here for site number one, you can see the site has been going down for a little while
0:11
There was an update around May or so. My site's been going down. But it seems to have stabilized
0:15
And this month, it's down point 31. So basically nothing kind of just staying the same
0:20
Looking over at the Google search console for the last 16 months, you can see right around here, around March, it's had a decline
0:28
But it's pretty stable. around here and it might actually look like it's starting to go up a little bit towards the end
0:33
So that would be nice. Sorry if my voice sounds a little weird. I took a test a couple days ago and it says that I had COVID
0:40
I only had a slight headache and now my voice just sounds weird. But other than that, I'm fine
0:45
So just looking at the spreadsheet for site number one, the income, you can see ever since January, been going down
0:51
So it used to make $1,300 per month. Now this month, unfortunately, it's only made $486
0:56
All right, so site number two, this site actually sold. I'm still in the process of selling it and transferring everything
1:01
I haven't got the money for it yet, so I'm not going to put all that detail in this video
1:05
But I have finally sold this site, which is nice, and it has actually been growing
1:09
Pretty cool, 48% increase in traffic, which some of that is probably just from the listing on FLIPA
1:16
It's bringing people to the site. Looking over the last 16 months, this site has had a steady growth
1:21
You can just see it continues to grow month over month. And I haven't done any work to this site in about a year
1:26
So I guess it's just articles from the past. and also I believe it's going into season so the site's looking pretty good so as you can see in January
1:34
it was making around $41 and 23 cents and it's grown quite a bit and last month it made $91 and $50
1:42
So this is my main website tortoisecashflow.com. It's had a 12% increase in traffic. So just five extra from 40 to 45
1:50
Over the last 12 months you can see somewhat of growth. I'm not really adding content to the site
1:55
So it's just people coming from watching me on YouTube and check
1:59
checking it out and this site made a dollar 98 this month this is my gaming site it had a 23% increase in traffic and this site I'm not really adding content to and over the last 16 months you can see this one's not really showing any traffic so I'm not sure what that is I guess this is just organic traffic but yeah you can see it's getting some impressions but that's pretty much it and you can see this site has earned nothing and I just put it on azoic but again it's not really getting any traffic so it's
2:29
It's not really making any money. This is the site that I bought from Carl
2:33
This site's being a little weird. So you can see it had a 13% decrease in traffic
2:38
And you can see this going up and down like crazy. Check it out on the search console
2:43
You can see it even better here. So this was the Maycore update. I lost pretty much all the traffic
2:48
And then right here, I was getting some traffic back again. But then I lost it all again
2:52
But then I gained it all again. But then I lost it all again. And now it seems like I've gained it again
2:58
So I'm not really sure what's causing that. It just goes up and down, up and down, up and down, kind of like a roller coaster
3:04
Again, this is a site that I bought from Carl a while ago. For quite a decent chunk of money it was earning around five or six hundred bucks per month around then I was hoping that it would get to a thousand let see how much it made this month a hundred and eighteen dollars so
3:18
definitely a lot less than it used to make still over time i will make my money back from the
3:24
site it's just going to take a while next up is a site that i bought from somebody a while ago for
3:31
i think two grand or something like that one of my viewers actually and it had a huge growth this
3:37
month. So it had growth last month and again this month, 72%. So from 6,450, all the way up to
3:44
11,000. The downside though, this growth is awesome, but most of that, pretty much all of that
3:51
is from one article. So as soon as somebody comes along and outranks me or this topic just isn't
3:58
as interesting anymore, then I'm going to be losing a lot of traffic. So I'm enjoying it while
4:04
it's here but I don't expect it to last and you can see the search console as well so this is when
4:10
I got a nice little boost in the May and then went back down to normal and then boom it shot way back
4:17
up you can already see it's already starting to correct the normal traffic I should be getting is
4:21
around 100 per day that's what it should be and right now I'm getting around 544 so huge growth
4:29
I wish I could sell this site but I would never try to sell it because
4:34
As soon as someone saw the keyword that I was ranking for, they would just copy it and take the ranking
4:40
So when I bought the site, it was making around 50 bucks per month. And then you could see in January, it made 116, then it came back down to 50
4:48
And now in July, it's making 193. So it's pretty much 4xed what it was making when I bought it
4:56
But eventually this traffic number, 11 grand, will come back down to 2 grand, and it'll go back to making 50 bucks a month, I'm sure
5:04
But hopefully this will last a little while because this is nice. This is the site that I bought a few months ago for around 12 grand
5:11
And it had a slight decrease from 18 grand down to 17
5:16
And you can see it was hit from the Maycore update a little bit
5:20
but it's been pretty steady ever since. Hopefully this will start going back up. I have been adding more content to it
5:26
As you could see, overview, you can see the coverage. The coverage has continued to go up for a little while
5:31
I started around June. so by the end of year it should be six months
5:35
so this content should be ranking better in six months so hopefully by the end of the year
5:40
we see this traffic do another hockey stick growth but we'll see
5:44
so when I bought the site it was making around 400 per month immediately I started making
5:49
a thousand bucks per month which was awesome but now it's slowly starting to correct
5:53
and now it's only making around 600 and it'll probably stabilize and make around
5:58
four to 500 per month which is fine that's what it should have been making
6:02
from the beginning. You see it's already earned me 4,700. And you can see I'm definitely
6:08
investing a lot on articles for this website. I've spent 1,184 last month, and this number should go
6:15
up. More of my writers are coming to this site and moving from the other sites and adding more
6:21
content to this site And last but not least we got this site that I bought a little while ago and it down 21 unfortunately but it also had a little spike earlier and now it just kind of correcting You can see it had all kinds of crazy movements around here and now it coming back down and stabilizing around here around 234 clicks per month And you can see it made So not too bad And I bought this site for And it already made
6:51
So I'm only down about 900 bucks from the site. And if it continues to make around 150 per month, it should make his money back in around seven months
7:00
So by the end of the year, probably be at the break even point. So now I'll just share my income for all my websites, kind of just showing the proof that I actually made this money
7:09
So here you can see my Amazon accounts. Last month, it had a little dip in income
7:15
And this month, it came up a little bit more, not where it used to be
7:19
I'm glad it hasn't decreased more. total of 337 and 3 cents and we also had a $3 bounty so total was
7:26
340 and 3 cents you can see my ad sense has continued to go up that's because I added
7:31
mediation with Ezoic and if you're not using Ezoic you should definitely sign up I'll leave a link in
7:36
the description box below if you have Ezoic and AdSense you can enable mediation which I'll be
7:42
making a video about in the future but pretty much it just makes the companies compete more
7:48
and as you can see, it increases your income. So ever since mediation has been kicked in
7:55
my AdSense money has grown, so it looks like it nearly doubled
8:00
So we made a total of $414.80 from AdSense. Now, Ezoic, you can see the mediation line down here
8:09
continues to grow, but my total income has been decreasing for a while
8:13
and that is because of the EPMV. So you can see around April when I was making the most money
8:18
2100. My EPMV was 20, but ever since then, it's been dropping all the way down to 11. So hopefully
8:26
we can get that back up. I think it's just how it is right now. I think everybody's ad rates I've gone
8:31
down. So last month, we made a total of $646.25, which unfortunately is slightly under the
8:39
650 that you need for the higher tier premium. So I was actually knocked down with my premium. So
8:46
kind of sucks, but it's just part of it. couple of videos I was saying that my Amazon one link wasn't working but I actually
8:54
figured out that they just moved the report for this so I actually figured it out
8:59
and I've actually had been making money for the last few months this month I made
9:02
31 from Germany 18 from United Kingdom $9 from Canada $1.58 from Italy and 87
9:10
France so my total earnings on Amazon was 401 and 22 cents if you want to
9:16
figure out how you find that information From now on you just go to reports, consolidate summary, and it'll take you to that page
9:24
So I went ahead and updated my spreadsheet for the Amazon One Link. So you can see around April is when I said that I wasn't really making any money from
9:32
Amazon One Link but I went back and filled in the numbers and I actually had made that month And in May I made 88 June I had a slight decrease with 36 and in July I had and 20 cents from Amazon One Link So if you not using Amazon
9:49
One Link you should definitely set it up. It only takes a few minutes and you could be missing out
9:54
on a few extra dollars. I also made a few sales with Fiverr so here's all my orders. If you're not
9:59
aware I sell keywords. If you come to my website tortoisecashflow.com you can click on here
10:05
You can check out my keyword service. Get a few reviews, video reviews, text reviews
10:10
Then you click on here to check out the service. You can get five keywords for $15, 14 keywords for $40, or $25 keywords for $70
10:20
And if you are interested in keywords, I also have a Patreon that you can sign up for
10:24
and you can get those keywords even cheaper. So at the $50 subscription plan, you're getting $25 keywords per month, which is $2 per keyword
10:32
Or you can sign up for the $100 per month, and it comes out to $1. $24 per keyword. So in total last month, across Fiverr and people reaching out to me through email
10:41
I made a total of $249.92 from selling keywords. And last month, I was able to monetize my YouTube
10:49
channel. It monetized July 25th, so it was only there for about five days, but it made $6.15
10:57
At the end of this month, I'm going to make a separate video titled How Much Money I Got Paid After 30 Days of
11:04
being monetized and actually had a giveaway. I made a video and I'm going to be giving away my first
11:09
month's income. So stay tuned for that video. So now just adding everything up, we've got the 1780 and
11:16
47 cents that we made from our websites plus the 249 and 92 cents from keywords plus the 451.37 cents
11:29
that we got from YouTube channels affiliate links that are in the description of the YouTube
11:34
etc so in total we made two thousand four hundred and eighty one dollars and seventy six cents now if we
11:40
subtract our expenses which would be two thirteen fifty cents minus and that's for
11:46
editor and stuff like that for our YouTube channel minus the website expenses which
11:52
would be two one one two point sixteen our total profit for this month was a hundred
11:59
and fifty six dollars and ten cents so not where it used to be
12:04
when we were profiting over 1,000 per month, but our income's going down
12:08
because the EPMV is going down, which is just how the month is. As the year goes on now, though
12:14
the EPMV should be going up, so this income should increase, hopefully back to the 2,000 to 3,000 per month
12:21
that we had before. And I've just been spending more money, investing more
12:25
trying to grow the business, and get this to 5,000 plus per month
12:30
would be really cool. So that's where I'm out right now, $156 isn't bad, but I would love to get this up and be making more money
12:39
So let me know in the comments down below how your websites are doing. And like I said, if you're not using Ezoic, you should definitely get it on your site
12:46
I will leave a video right here on how to set it up. It's super easy. So check out that video if you haven't seen it yet
