I analyzed 78 blogger income reports to see where/how they generated over $900k in August

[lewiswebdev]

Earlier this week I finished my analysis of 78 blogger income reports from August to see how their revenue is generated. What amazed me was these 78 bloggers generated close to $900k in revenue for the month using OVER 170 different revenue sources.

I took those 170 sources and broke them down into seven categories:

• Affiliates: $301,475.66
• Products and Services: $134,413.73
• Sponsorships: $130,674.65
• Advertising Network: $46,192.87
• Freelance: $36,831.42
• Consulting: $11,898.32
• Unclassified: $235,263.54

Unclassified: Revenue that doesn’t fit into the previous six categories or the income reporter didn’t get an details on the specific revenue.

Without overwhelming you with too much data, I wanted to share the Top 5 Affiliate Programs and Top 5 Advertising Networks these bloggers used in August:

Top 5 Advertising Network

1. AdThrive — $14,316.07
2. Google Adsense — $6,592.51
3. Mediavine — $1,158.41
4. YouTube — $780.70
5. PadSquad — $728.00

Top 5 Affiliate Programs

1. Bluehost — $114,455.00
2. Amazon Associates — $45,078.16
3. Zero to Launch Course — $17,277.80
4. Convertkit — $12,918.33
5. Clickfunnels — $10,921.00

If you have any questions, feel free to reply to this thread. Looking forward to hear from you and making these reports even better.

NOTE: I have a blog post that breaks this down a little further but can't post the link yet.

pretty cool.... just an idea... you should analyze their traffic... see how they're getting it.

 

[lewiswebdev]

True true.

For September we are going to take a closer look and hopefully add in some traffic analyzation.

Great study, thanks for sharing.

I wondered about the last three affiliate programs, are the numbers from many different bloggers or only a couple of them.

Can you post the link for the blog post now.
