All my income is from sponsored posts and guest posts. I need to learn how to affiliate programmes and so on, but that will come in time as I just never have the time to read more into it. Last month I gave tips on how to get work coming into your blog and the main thing was to do what you love and just carry on blogging - the work will come to you! This month I've decided to talk about why it is good to keep in contact with a PR. This month I had quite a bit of work from the same PR and it's because I have a good relationship with this PR. So, how do you keep a good relationship with a PR and why is it good to keep in contact?
- It's always good to keep in contact with everyone you work with because you never know, one day they will come back to you with more work.
- Always and I mean always keep to deadline dates, they will more than likely come back to you if you do!
- Don't be scared to e-mail everyone you have worked with every now and then {every few months} and ask if they have any work going on at the moment. You won't get if you don't ask.
- Be polite. Be kind. Ask how their day is. Just be nice.
Now, back to my income report for July. Like I said above, all my work through July has been guest post and sponsored posts. Here is my report:
INCOME: £1048.08
OUTCOME: £67
TOTAL INCOME: £981.00
I am really happy with this month's income. I couldn't be happier, as never would I have thought I'd receive that much through my blog in one month. Esepcially that July was a hard month for me because I was heavily pregnant and gave birth to my beautiful baby boy on the 16th. I am not expecting this much for August but I would still love to reach £500 or over.
You are very fortunate to be able to earn a good income from your blog, well done you!
ReplyDeleteWow you have a good income from blogging. I love reading income reports it shows how well bloggers can really do from there work.
ReplyDeleteWow well done, that is a great income, I can only dream of that x
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to see how you achieve the amount this month. Just a break down, as it might give people (like me I suppose) an idea on what work for you and what doesn't. xx

Well done, that's a good achievement. I agree a breakdown would be useful for others, congrats on July's income :) xo
ReplyDeleteI hope I get to make the same as you one day because it would mean I can stop working three full time jobs as well as clients on the side to blog full time. Would you mind me asking how you made that amount. You can DM me if preferred I am just curious. Don't worry your not showing off I think it is brilliant that you are so open about what you earn.
ReplyDeleteI always admire people who publish income reports as I'm always too chicken! Looks like July was a good month :D
ReplyDeleteYou've done really well from sponsored posts and blogs this month, well done x
ReplyDeleteWow that is great, well done for this month! I'm always so pleased when my blog earnings go up :)
ReplyDeleteThat's brilliant, well done for such a great month and keep up the great work! :)

That's a pretty good income, great job! I'd definitely be happy with numbers like that!
ReplyDeleteA very busy month for you then but a very good one. Well done. Totally agree with keeping in contact with people. So important x
ReplyDeleteWell done! It's great that we can earn a living from doing something we love, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteReally well done, I think the biggest issue for most people is knowing what to say your standard rate is x
ReplyDeleteWell done - you have done really well!
ReplyDeleteIts great that you are doing so well with your blog. Obviously you have the right formula thats working. Keep it up and well done.
ReplyDeleteWell done. You have worked hard to get your blog to this position, so you should enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI love reading income reports, really inspires me to keep going with my blog so that one day I can earn some extra money. So far I've only done review things for companies, not had any sponsored posts yet :/
ReplyDeleteI love reading blogger income reports, it's so useful and insightful and I think it's really good of you to share this information in order to help others out. I only ever make the odd £50-75 here and there from sponsored posts. Do you charge other bloggers for guest posting, or do you mean if a company wanted to write on your blog that you'd charge them? Also, what are the best ways that you can recommend to find sponsored post opps? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Kacie. Really glad that posts like this are useful. That's why I wanted to share them.
DeleteI charge other bloggers if I don't know the blogger. I don't charge them if I know them and followed their blog {and they follow me} for a while.
All my guest posts haven't been bloggers - so they are mostly PR's and companies.
Bloggers required, Facebook groups and just work hard on your blog - get it out there. they are my tips on finding sponsored post opps x
That's an amazing income, and you've obviously been working hard so it's very well deserved - well done!
ReplyDeleteWow it's amazing that you can earn so much from a blog, keep it up!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love reading income reports! Great to see you earning so much, long may it continue
ReplyDeleteWow!! that was a great month!! i have earned that in a month before, but only once. The only thing I don't like about blogging is not now how much I am going to earn one week till the next. I mean one week I can earn £400 and they next nothing at all
