My First Blog Income – How Much I Made and What I Learned
Starting a blog is exciting, but the real motivation kicks in when you earn your first dollar online. In this post, I’ll share exactly how much I made, how I earned it, and the important lessons I’ve learned.
💰 How I Earned My First Income
I used Google AdSense, and here’s how it started:
- Tool Used: Site Kit by Google
- Monetization Type: Display Ads
- Views: e.g., 300 impressions in first week
- Earnings: AUD $1.37 💵 (Example)
Even though it was small, it was powerful. It showed me: This works. I can scale this.
📊 What Contributed to the Income?
- 2 published posts
- SEO setup (Yoast, internal links, meta descriptions)
- One featured image with alt text
- A share on Facebook/Instagram (if applicable)
🧠 What I Learned
- Starting is more important than perfection.
- Consistency brings traffic.
- One visit can be the beginning of your audience.
🚀 My Next Goal
I want to reach AUD $10 next. To do that, I plan to:
- Publish 1 article per week
- Share my content on 2 platforms
- Learn more about affiliate marketing (next step!)
💌 Final Words
If you’re just starting, remember: Your first $1 is the most magical because it proves you can do it. Let’s grow together — slowly, surely, and sustainably.
With hope,
