First Income and Traffic report One-Year Summary (2024)

Welcome to Budget with Belle’s First Income and Traffic report One-Year summary. If you’re new to Budget with Belle, you maybe wondering why I would want to publish my income report online.

I know, it’s a bit taboo to disclose what you made/lost. I wrestled with this idea of publishing my income and expenses online for awhile now. But, after much thought, why the heck not?! Here we are a year later….

Now, let’s start from the top. Fall 15,’ I suffered from a work-related incident that left me unable to perform my full-time duties. While out of work, I actively pursued other forms of employment. I interviewed a bunch and was finally hired in November 15.’ Excited and looking forward to the new position in the new year, I was content. I stopped actively looking for a new job. January16′ came around, and I was to start my new position at the end of the month. Yay! Right? Wrong! Less than one week before my start date. I got a call from my future (EX) boss to be, that the higher ups decided to go in a different direction.

Just like that, my future income was taking away from me. On the night before she called, the craziest thing happened. I had a dream, (some would call it a premonition) that the position was taken away from me. So, when shecalled I wasn’t too fazed (I strongly believe in my dreams). The Hubby and I talked about the loss for maybe 2.5 seconds, and we carried on. It was at that moment when she called that I decided to never give someone that much control/power over my financiallife. I began doing some research (kinda of) on how to make that happen.

If you are interested in starting ablog of your own, I createda tutorial that will help you start a blog ofyour own for cheap, starting atonly $3.95 per month (this lowprice is only through my link) for blog hosting. In addition to the low pricing, you will receivea free websitedomain (a $15 value) through my Bluehost linkif you purchase, at least, 12 months of blog hosting.

At thispoint, I had been home a few months and very much enjoyed it. I did not want to go back to a traditional employer and have my life toyed with. We started discussing ways to make income from home. I Googled that, and plenty of articlespopped up. One took me to Pinterest, and it was Michelle’s from Making Sense of Cents income reports, I was marveled by the sheer amount she was making while traveling full-time. I was inspired. That’s when I googled “How to Start a Blog,” and started a blog February10th, 2016! I knew nothing about hosting, WordPress, or themes. Driven by excitement, and the support of my Husband. Budget with Belle was born.

I started a blog-now what? That was it. I purchased my domainthrough Bluehost and did nothing else until mid-April. My inspirationwas fizzled away by HTML, CSS confusion and this blogger saying this, while another says that. Can you say informationoverload? I was overstimulated, and weighed down by “how to’s.” There was so much to do, and I found myself doing nothing. Paralyzed by fear and the sheer volume of my new blog to-do-list, I semi-quit. It wasn’t until I found Abby’s Building a Frameworke-book that gave me a breath of fresh air. I was recharged and able to learn the ropes of my new found love again (somewhat, ha).

Feeling behind on things, I began to work. I signed up and set-up advertisem*nts withShareasale, Google Adsense, FlexOffers, and Offerjuice.I wanted to monetize my blog from day one. Income was a serious goal of mine (remember earlier?). I worked on setting up Studiopress, Google Analytics for tracking purposes. I was gaining confidence because I was learning all these new things. I fell in love with WordPress themes because of their customizable features. It’s truly amazing what you can learn to make a site do!

The next thing I did was set up my mailing list. I started using MailChimp because it was FREE. I did not understand how to use it, and I do not think I was effective in using it. It was super complicated for a newbie blogger like myself. I should’ve been usingConvertKit because of its easy, user-friendly system. I highly recommend them for serious bloggers. They have a powerful automation system that allows you swift and easy access to your email list. Especially knowing what I know now, I highly recommend anyone starting a blog to start an email list the same day.

You won’t regret it!

While setting up these important aspects, I began writing blog posts. I was verybusy, but, I was not productive. I did not use my time efficiently. I was reading a ton of blogs with different advice, and I was beginning to feel overwhelmed all over again. Social Media tips and hacks left me feeling sour.

Until I found Brittany’s Strategies Worth Sharing, a guide she wrote on how she increased traffic to her blog using Facebook. Brittany was able to increase her Facebook fans from 2,000 to 100,000 in just 5 months! I was thrilled! I felt equipped to tackle Facebook. But, did not start a page until November 16,’ – more on that later.

Budget with Belle was launched unofficially May 1st, 2016 (the first post went up April 22nd). I didn’t throw up the 10 + blog posts I’ve written up at once. Looking back it now, I should’ve. I drip them out inconsistently. I wrote and posted inconsistently. I was inconsistent, and it showed. My blog barely got page views, my email list barely grew. I was saddened by that realization (mostly my fault) and semi-quit again. Before quitting (again) I added a resource page filled tools and links to help others on their personal financed and online journey. You can download it below.

Here’s the scoop, on my unofficial launch date, I also set up an Instagram page. While I had all the right ideas, roadmaps, and training. I was silently suffering from depression, anxiety, and PTSD – yep ( the work-related incident was serious). Anyone who knows anything about those BIG 3 will tell you they’re no joke. It affected every aspect of my life. There were many times, I did not leave my house for days on end, was unable to perform the normal day-to-day functions, or just felt sick to my stomach. My depression was at it’s highest in 2016. To add insult to injury, my personal relationships were in turmoil. We lost our older brother, and cousin on the same night in September to a fatal accident. Our 97-year old Grandmother to Hurricane Matthew in October. All while pregnant with our first child.
