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 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

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

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:
