It's now almost month two since I've started this mega case study site, month 23
0:05
Like I said in the last update, pretty much given this website a break for a minute
0:11
working on some of my other websites. So you'll see that published articles this month is zero
0:17
Haven't done anything. And so the total published articles is the same as last month, 133
0:22
So obviously we spent nothing on the website last month. The total we've spent since we've had the website is 4,600
0:29
$192.7. And since I've owned the site, the site has generated a total of $521.92. And so our net loss at the moment is negative $4,170.15. If we take the amount of money that the site has earned over the last six months, get the average of that. Multiply that number by 35. You'll get the site value, which is at $2,004. So if I wanted to sell the site right now, I could probably sell
1:00
sell it for around 2, maybe even 3,000 if I found the right buyer
1:03
So really I'm only down about 1 to 2 grand and if the site's making around 50 to 70 bucks a month
1:09
the site should break even around 3ish years Some bad news also this month which you see later is that the site was hit by the recent helpful update which didn seem to really help anybody other than AI content
1:23
But let's dig into these numbers. Check out how the site's doing. Here's the ytics for my mega case study site
1:29
You can see in September, it went down 49%. From 5,929 to 3,000
1:38
This is the same site that you guys remember. Two years ago, it was having huge indexing problems
1:44
I had to do a lot of things to finally get the site to start indexing and start ranking
1:48
And it started to pick up. I'll show you right here on the search console. It really started to pick up after I made some changes
1:55
But unfortunately, that luck just ran out. And the previous update, the helpful update that Google came out with, lost so much of the progress that I made
2:06
I haven't been this low since May. Back down to where I was about four months ago
2:10
I can't complain too much because it took this site like almost a year to even get any traffic at all
2:16
Thankfully, I didn't lose everything and I'm still up here around 50 clicks per day
2:21
So it's not a total loss. It sucks a little bit a little bit of a drawback but we see what happens If the site recovers and continues to do well then in the future I will probably keep working on it and adding more content Like I said for now I just going to let the site sit and see what happens
2:37
Next, I'm going to get through the numbers and show you how much the site made. But before I do that, I just want to advertise my low competition keyword service
2:46
You can come to tortoisecashflow.com. Check this out here. You can see different reviews that people left me after they tried my service
2:53
And you can watch a short little video. click here to see my service and here it is here you can get five keywords for $25, $25 keywords for $100 or
3:03
50 keywords for $150. So as you go up the package, you're getting more keywords at a slightly
3:09
reduced rate. You can also subscribe. Three months will give you a 10% discount. Six months will
3:14
give you a 20% discount. So if you want the best price for your keywords, you want to buy the
3:19
premium package and subscribe for six months. Now let's get into the numbers. So last month, with
3:25
Amazon affiliate, this site made $2.91. Ad cents, it made $13.42. And with Ezoic, it came down slightly to 4157
3:37
The EPMV increased slightly, not much, about a dollar. Premium ads went down
3:42
Mediation went down Ezoic ads went down And visitors went down Now let just check out the spreadsheet here So you can see September compared to August
3:52
just how much the traffic went down organics. Then total sessions here
3:56
and then you can see all the income here, and our total gross income for the month of September
4:01
was $51.78. Like I said, there was no expenses in the month of September
4:07
so the net income was $51.78. And you can see so far for this year
4:12
the site is still down 1,743.48 cents. Over time, we'll slowly get to the break-even point
4:19
If the income does not increase, like I said, it'll take around three years to break even on the site
4:26
If you have a website and you're not using Ezoic yet, I highly recommend it
4:29
That's how I make all my money on my websites. They're an amazing platform. They have great customer service whenever I need help optimizing my ad placements
4:37
I just hit them a message and they do their thing. Sometimes it increases my revenue
4:43
I'll leave a link in the description box below where you can sign up for Azoic. It'll be an affiliate link, so I really appreciate it if you use that link
4:49
It really supports my channel. I also leave a link down below where you can buy keywords from me
4:53
You can watch this video next if you haven't seen yet. It's my full income report for this month and how much all my website's made
