Not Making Money Blogging
I'm just not cracking this blogging gig. I can see how I'll make money eventually but I NEED money NOW. I don't have the money to continue paying my Wealthy Affiliate membership fees. I can't afford to invest in Jaaxy. I need these tools. I need this Training. I'm stuck. I need to prove to my husband I can make money blogging so that he will support me... Oh no, I may have to go get a job and then all these hours I've put into my blogs may be wasted. All my Domains are hosted at Wealthy Affiliate. Where would I move them to? What would that cost? What if I lose my blogs? I've worked too hard to lose my blogs now. I have too much invested.
I HAVE to find a way...
These were the thoughts running through my head 8 months ago when I knew my Annual Membership Payment was nearly due and I knew I HAD to find a way to pay for it myself.
Desperation was setting in.
By this time I'd been blogging my heart out for nearly 2 years. I had followed the training so I'd done all of these:
- Created a Website (or 3)
- Built Rich Content
- Chosen Low Hanging Fruit Keywords
- Shared Posts on Social Media
- Signed up for Affiliate Programs and Added Affiliate Links into Posts
- Written Reviews for Wealthy Affiliate and Jaaxy
- Signed up for Google Adsense and added Google Adsense and Gourmet Ads to one site to test Advertising Income
But something wasn't clicking into place.
I just wasn't getting enough traffic.
- None of my posts were shooting it out of the park, going viral and drawing visitors to my site.
- None of my keywords were bringing in masses of organic traffic.
- None of my Social Media Channels were really ROCKING.
I wasn't making NOTHING. I had one or two affiliate sales here and there and I was earning money on Fiverr.
I had sporadic income... but
I wasn't making ENOUGH yet.
Not nearly enough.
In October 2017, I earned a Total of $136,94.
And that was my personal best, the month before that I only earned $29,10 and the month before that, even less - $11,22.
I knew I couldn't beg my husband to pay for my Annual Membership on the Black Friday Special for a second year running.
And then... just in the nick of time - Two weeks before Black Friday....
Everything changed.
Thank you for this really great tutorial! The step-by-step instructions makes it really useful and I have saved it for future use. With the exchange rate from Pound/Dollar to Rand, earning on the internet is even more lucrative, isn't it? ;-)
Wishing you all of the very best Lauren!

Happy to hear you enjoyed my step-by-step training.
Wishing you all the best.
Can you guys use Paypal, or what do you use? At least in Paypal you can leave your money in there, until YOU decide to convert it over.
But then on the other hand, when one needs the money, you need it, regardless of the exchange rate at the time, eh?
Oh well... at least when the Rand is weak and everybody are moaning, you are smiling! ;-)
May you enjoy a lovely day Lauren! Wishing you all of the very best!
