October Income Report: $29,027

HELLO AGAIN,

Can we talk about how WILD October was?

$29,027 wild, to be exact.

Halloween wasn't just about candy for us - it was about catching those sweet, sweet seasonal traffic waves. (And boy, did we catch them!)

But here's what I'm really excited about... Q4 is running. You know what that means - it's literally the most profitable time of the year for online businesses. We're not just ready; we're already sprinting!

Every Saturday, you'll find me and my team smashing shuttlecocks across a badminton court.

Why? Because I've learned that a healthy body = sharp mind = better business decisions. (Plus, have you tried brainstorming Pinterest strategies while trying to score a point? Magic happens! 🏸)

Speaking of magic... Want to peek behind the curtain of how we turned spooky season into our most profitable month yet? And how we're positioning ourselves for the Q4 goldmine ahead?

Keep reading, because I'm about to spill ALL the details...

P.S. If you're wondering whether physical activity really impacts your bottom line - my October numbers might just convince you! 😉

80% of my monthly revenue flows straight from Pinterest Marketing.

And trust me, this wasn't always the case.

In fact, 2022 hit me like a truck when I lost 70% of traffic from my two main sites. But sometimes, what feels like a disaster becomes your biggest breakthrough...

I pivoted HARD to Pinterest, and now I'm running 6 thriving blogs across different niches (from Women's Fashion to adorable Pets content). Talk about not keeping all your eggs in one basket! 😉

Here's the thing about Pinterest that most people miss:

Unlike traditional blogging, Pinterest is like having your content on display in a massive, ever-growing digital mall.

I've been in the Pinterest game since 2019, but it wasn't until that brutal traffic drop in 2022 that I truly unleashed its full potential.

In September we had 362,148 Pageviews collectively (6 Niche Sites)

Would you believe that what started as a "backup plan" now drives my entire business model?

From cute puppies to the latest fashion trends, every single pin is a potential gateway to revenue.

Here’s is breakdown of my revenue for niche sites:

Our Main Site Made 5k$ last month…

Display ads are still my bread and butter 💰 Want to know where my visitors come from?

I'm sitting on a goldmine of affiliate opportunities in my niches, but I've been dragging my feet on applications. 🙈 Classic procrastination! Making a mental note (again) to get my act together on this one...

Here’s is breakdown of my traffic sources:

• Pinterest: 65%

• Google: 16%

• Email: 7%

• Others: 12%

But wait, there's more...

Let me pull back the curtain on my ENTIRE business revenue (not just the niche sites)...

Here's the full picture of September's income:

• Niche Sites: $19,215 (breakdown above ⬆️)

• Pinterest Services: $3,350 (currently helping 4 amazing clients!)

• #PinPower Course: $3,164 (14 students and counting since launch 🎉)

• Content Services: $1,500 (copywriting + blog posts)

• Newsletter Sponsor: $250 (for 5 issues)

• Others: $1548

Total Business Revenue: $29,027

This diversification didn't happen overnight. Remember that traffic crash I mentioned? It taught me the hard way not to rely on just one income stream. Now I've got my hands in multiple pots - from passive niche site income to active client services to my latest baby, the #PinPower course.

P.S. Still pinching myself that my "backup plan" turned into this full-blown Pinterest empire! Who would've thought?

Let's talk money going OUT….

$8,723 flew out of my account this month - and the biggest chunk? My amazing in-house team.

And honestly? I consider every penny well spent. My team isn't just an expense - they're the engine powering this whole operation.

Could I do it cheaper? Maybe. Would I want to? Heck no! 🙌

WAIT a minute... let me get real with you for a second

October wasn't just about the numbers (though $29K is pretty sweet! 🍯). It was about proving something I've believed all along:

When life knocks you down (like that 70% traffic drop in 2022), you've got two choices:

• Stay down and complain

• Get up and build an empire

I chose the empire. 👑

Today, watching my team crush it on the badminton court reminds me of our business journey - it's all about:

• Quick reflexes

• Strategic positioning

• And most importantly... showing up consistently

What's Next? While everyone else is wrapping up 2024, we're already positioning our pins for a explosive Q4. Because that's what we normally do!

Remember: Your "backup plan" might just become your legacy. Mine did.

Keep pinning, keep growing, and never let a setback define your comeback.

See you next Thursday with more behind-the-scenes insights!
