Blogger Making $7-10k/month

[Jon Anthony]

What's up, guys.

I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi.

I skimmed through these forums for a week or so before making an account.

I saw the value you were adding and just had to join.

So, let me tell you a few things about myself:

• Been blogging for 3 years
• Taken up various gigs on the side to make end's meet
• Currently own an Ahrefs ranked 6,300,000 website
• Get about 4,000 views/day
• Average daily income is around $75-500

The main goal I have for this new year is to develop some consistency with my income. I've had $2k months, and I've had $15k months. I just want some damn consistency.

My funnel is basically as follows:

• SEO Content (Free Leads)
• Lead Magnet (Get Them on the Email List)
• Blast w/ Content (Build Authority, Trust)
• Offer Sales/Products (Convert Leads to Sales)

It's going alright so far, with a lot of my money actually coming in from affiliate advertising. I managed to get to #1 in Google for a few key terms.

Wondering if I should stop selling products and just focus 100% on creating an affiliate website... Not quite sure yet.

Any insights or thoughts would be very welcome!

Hi Jon,

welcome to the forum. Just send you a pm.

Honestly, my first thought.

I think don't think you should NOT build a 2nd affiliate website.

You've got something that's already proven to work and sells.

Focus and reach more people through other channels and improve your current products and sell it to more people.

Martin

Nice Job Jon! I have a question: Do you automate your SEO strategy or you do it manually? stuff like outreach or guest posting

Welcome Jon!

I agree with Martin that you shouldn't build a second affiliate site for the same reasons.

Are you selling any high-ticket products or services? You may want to look into webinars (which you can make automated) as I have read they are very effective and I am looking into experimenting with them myself (I'm also in blogging space).
