How I made $5,407.14 blogging even while traffic is tanking [September 2023]
Earnings & revenue streams from our Colorado travel blog
Helloooo,
I hope you’re having a nice fall season and start to your October! For our travel site, we’ve been struggling with the latest impact of the Google Helpful Content Update for our site's traffic and earnings.
Our traffic took a significant hit after the update, affecting our blog posts' rankings. If you want to listen in to Brandon Gaille’s take on what happened in the latest Google update, here’s the podcast episode on Apple Podcasts.
However, while our traffic and ad revenue is down, our YouTube channel has been growing rapidly, with a substantial increase in subscribers in September.
If you’re new here, I own the travel blog, Hashtag Colorado Life and I have big goals for selling the site for hundreds of thousands of dollars in the next year!
You can check out my recent reports to catch up on the blog’s progress:
I hope you find these updates useful and helpful for growing (and selling!) your own blog in the future.
Now, let’s dive into this month’s blogging income report.
