Blog Earnings – My First Blog Traffic Report for The Rising Damsel

This post may contain affiliate links.

Traffic Report My first month Blogging! What works what doesn't. The Rising DamselMy most favorite find in blogging research is reading about other blogger’s income, traffic reports and monthly updates. Traffic reports share successes, failures, new affiliates and one day I hope to get to report on my own blog’s income.

Starting this blog was exciting and labor intensive. It’s a much different feeling than I had towards my last blogging experience. If you feel like you are spinning your wheels on your blog… just stop! I can’t stress enough how important it can be to cut and run from an old blog and start a fresh one. Don’t fret over the past. Move onto your new found platform for a renewed feeling in freedom of expression.

The cost of liberating myself was minimal compared to what I gained. I really wish that I made the decision sooner. Oh well, late is better than never!

BLOG COSTS
Bluehost.  $50.00 for year
Genesis Framework made by Studiopress.  $60.00
Tailwind.  $109 for the year

Grand total approximately: $220.00 in start up costs.
