How to Grow Your Email List
Blog Page Views and Income
Here’s how Whimsicle did in March:
I’m still blown away that the site received over 80,000 page views last month! It’s not luck, nor some inherent trait I possess.
If you want to check out how I grew my page views, check out my past income reports.
As for income:
Sponsored posts: $1410
Ad Networks: $246.15
Product sales: $25 (!!)
Other: $137.10 (Ok, it was an airline refund because an airline – which I will not name because I’m classy- royally messed up my flight coming back from the Build Your Blog Conference in Salt Lake City)
A bulk of my blog income comes from sponsored posts at the moment.

I love that source of income! But I’m also looking for ways to make my income more passive.
In last month’s income report, a few of my blogging friends contacted me and told me that I should be making more money from my ads based on page views.
I had Blog Her for my main sidebar ad and then filled in the rest with ad sense.
Since I crossed the 80,000 page view threshhold, I finally qualified for The Blogger Network. I switched all of my adsense ads over to them (or rather they switched it over. They are wonderful by the way!). And wow..
As a little sneak preview into this month, I made more with the Blogger Network in 8 days than I did with my Adsense ads the entire month!!!
Let’s look at my expenses for March:
Walmart 44.79 (sponsored post shopping)
Webinar Jam $397 (Selling my product, can’t wait to share!)
Adobe $10.62 (Photoshop/ Lightroom)
BoardBooster $10
Fiverr $12.60 (I outsourced a graphic design)
The UPS Store $53.55 (Mail box rental for 3 months)
Active Campaign $17 (my email service)
Bed Bath & Beyond $90.35 (sponsored post shopping)
Hobby Lobby $65.94 (sponsored post shopping)
Facebook Ads $68.59 (Webinar promotion)
Total Expenses: $772.44
March Profit: $982.07
I’m very happy with the direction I’m headed! Now, want to know how email factors into this?
