In these income reports, I report my blogging income and expenses as well as insights into how I started making money blogging and how you can copy my strategy and make it work.
We cover everything that led up to my best blogging month in August 2019 $2,508 working from home which is my highest so far! and my latest blogging income report which I made $919.68 in July 2019 which is my WORST blogging month in 2019.
I really want you to understand the struggle, the pain of not making any money with your blog because it’s a bad feeling and I have been there, I am still there because I am constantly pushing myself and my blog to the next level.
Every month is a new challenge and new beginnings!
How did I Start Making Money Blogging?
The timeline below shows all the revenues from Nairatips since I decided to stop blogging for fun and start a successful blog.
My Successful Blogging Story:
- During the month of July 2015, I started Nairatips while I was in college.
- I blogged for fun from 2015-2017 without really concentrating on making money with my blog.
- On December 2017, I decided to go fully into my blog and turn it into a business.
- I bought 1 year Bluehost hosting, moved to GeneratePress theme, wrote more content and decided to focus on making money with my blog.
- The year 2018 was my first year of successful blogging and that was the turning point in my life.
- 2019 has been a great year so far because I’ve already made more than half of what I made in 2018 which means 2019 would be my best year yet!
Why I Publish Income Reports
To be frank with you, It’s a little weird publishing my income reports for all of my friends, family, and loved ones to see, but that’s the tradeoff that I accept for the transparency that I want to give my audience.
I never publish my income reports to brag – only to show my followers and readers just what is possible with a small blog, some hard work, and a lot of determination!
I own a successful blog at Nairatips.com. I have struggled, failed and succeeded with this blog since July 2015 when I created it. All my blogging journey has led me to this moment.
I am teaching blogging strategies that worked in my niche, and I hope you can use these same strategies on your blog and niche.
There are a lot of ‘experts’ out there making money online by teaching others how to make money online but I am different because I AM REAL. I know the struggles you have gone through using AdSense, you wrote some affiliate posts but nothing seems to be working, I have been there and it took me 3 years to get out from that fixed state of working on my blog but not making money from it.
While many of these experts are VERY successful (and good at what they do), it makes their strategies seem impossible to achieve and you feel overwhelmed because you start thinking, how will I go from below $100 a month to $100,000. It can be a very challenging process.
I hope that my honesty and transparency that I provide on Nairatips helps you on your journey to start a successful blog.

Few Notes for May
- I invested my time in email outreach to get more Sponsored posts deal and one strategy that worked for me was the recurring Sponsored post income.
- I also invested money into Convertkit (The best email marketing software in my opinion).
- I started building my email list and in less than 15 days, I have about 414 subs thanks to some new techniques I discovered on how to build your email list (FAST) and using content upgrade techniques to segment your website’s audience and create forms specific for high traffic pages on your blog.
- I know JUNE would be a better month than MAY!

Blog Updates in June 2019
I would be creating my first online course, building my course audience and launching in June or July.
I lauched my online business helping bloggers start a successful blog online business.
Other than updating some old content and writing more affiliate content, my main focus right now is creating my digital product.
Google SEO is something I’ve worked exclusively on, and we get an average of 150,000 page views every month most of which comes from organic search engines.

How I Make Money Blogging
Sponsored Posts:
Last month, we made $1,070 with Sponsored Posts. This was where the bulk of my income was made last month.
Remember, I started with $0 from Sponsored Posts and now I’m making over $1,000 with sponsored posts alone, I have some strategies that can enable you to move to the next level with Sponsored Posts.
Affiliate Marketing Income:
I am not really too bad on Affiliate Marketing at the moment that’s why my affiliate income has been low for some time now because that’s not the main priority for now.
The main priority is helping people start their own successful blogs and help those that are blogging for fun to switch up their mindsets and start successful blogging today!

Honestly this is the best blogging inspiration I have gotten this month. I own a website and am having difficult time getting traffic and making money out of it
Yes, I have checked out your website and the first thing you can do is invest in a lightweight responsive theme that would make your website look professional, easy to navigate and SEO friendly.
Hey Paularo. The link under your name is incorrect. It’s http://www.nariatips.com instead of nairatips 😉
Thank you, I’ve corrected it.
