Income Report July 2019 (7 Niche Sites)

Let’s jump straight to July’s numbers…

The usual monthly DISCLAIMER:  This income report does NOT include revenue or expenses from fatstacksblog.com.  I only include revenue and expenses from my other sites.  It’s not helpful for you for me to tell you how much I make telling you how much I make.  

All figures are in USD.

• Niche_Site_1″>Niche Site 1 Revenue: $37,428
• Niche Site 2 Revenue: $5,867
• Niche Site 3 Revenue: $2,443
• Niche Site 4 Revenue: $735
• Niche Site 5 Revenue: $38
• Niche Site 6 Revenue: $44
• Niche Site 7 Revenue: $14

While my content orders were once again sizeable, I’m allocating the lion’s share of that content to my top 4 niche sites.  The bottom 3 don’t get much content at all – kind of kicking them along for now.

Total Revenue all 7 sites: $46,569 (June 2019 revenue was: $51,706)

This is my #1 ad network and you can learn more about the high-performing video ad unit I use here.   I also resumed Media.net – exit pop up ad and one link ad.

Expenses for all niche sites

I lump together all expenses for all 7 niche sites because it’s difficult, impractical and unhelpful to spend the time allocating each expense to each site.

Content investment in July 2019

I got a little carried away with content orders in July.  Hiring a new columnist plus placing a huge CDP order ended up costing probably more than I’ve ever invested in content.  Here’s the breakdown:

• Content Development Pros:  $8,301
• Writer Access:  $10,822
• Textbroker: $1,600 (I use Textbroker when I need something specific in a day or two).

Total content investment for July 2019:  ,723

Net income after content investment: ,727 USD

I explain here why I extract content cost from expenses.
