How Much Do Bloggers Earn Per Page view
This week I did some math, trying to figure out how much my blog is making per page view.

It's pretty simple when you think about it. Figure out the average amount of money your blog is earning per month. Then, look at the average number of page views you are getting each ...
How Much Are Other Bloggers Earning?
Have you ever wondered how much other bloggers are earning? Well, today is your lucky day!

The responses that I got were really helpful! It's always nice to hear how other people are doing it, and how much time an effort they are putting in. I even left space for ...
How to make money without doing a sponsored post (some specific ideas)
There are a lot of ways to make money on your blog, even if you aren't doing sponsored posts. Some of the biggest bloggers don't do many sponsored posts, because they are making so much through affiliate links. 1- Sign up through companies like Share-a-sale. You may have seen on Saturday how I showed you to make $10 just through referring someone! That's a huge (& quick) money maker! Gymboree is a great company, among many, on ...

A company I’ve never heard of wants me to write a sponsored post for them
Sometime in your blogging journey you will probably start to get emails from companies asking you to post about them on your blog. Some ask that you do this for free, while others offer a good compensation. The problem arises when you are messaged by a company that you are not familiar with. What's a blogger to do? *disclaimer* this post contains affiliate links. I never want to sell my readers out by posting about any old site for a ...
Tax tips for bloggers – Deductibles
I wanted to share some tax tips for bloggers. This is a very important subject, to say the least. Here are a few of my own tax tips. First- DEDUCTIBLES: These are things that you are spending money on to better your blog. You pay taxes after deductibles, so it is important to keep track of these. I use my separate PayPal account for all purchases, so it is easy for me to see where my blogging money goes. (I also have it linked to a ...
How to (More Than) Double Your Blog’s Income In a Year
Last week, we talked about how to (more than) double your blog's reach in a year.

Of course I also shared some tips and ways that you can make it happen on your blog as well, and we will continue to share more tips for growth throughout the year to help you ...
How to write a sponsored post that doesn’t exactly “fit” your niche
Last week, I wrote about how to make money on your blog without ads. You saw that I do a lot of sponsored posts. Many times, I will get a sponsored post from Social Spark or Sverve that I debate taking. They don't exactly "fit" my niche, but I know that it would be foolish of me to pass up the extra income (raising a family of six, on one full-time income, is no easy task). So, I normally try to figure out a way that I can work-it into my ...
