If you just starting or thinking about starting a blog, affiliate marketing and the multiple online streams of income. Start now and keep working smart (learn from income school and others) it will pay off. This is our year 🚀
Jim and Ricky are 100% the most genuine men on youtube, not selling get rich quick schemes while sitting in lambos shooting money guns out the window, just a genuine business model.
Very interesting to see those averages. I agree with your reasoning why bigger sites have less to gain. But, gaining less is still growth! Beginners should not forget that writing 500 articles is one thing. Keeping them up to date is another. It will take time to make sure that content quality does not wear off. Most topics are not evergreen so as a site owner you're never done.
Better have 5 blogs for 100 each if you're already up to the work of maintaining 500 posts. Better than that is selling some blogs along the way and start new one's with capital to help u hire good writers so u can really scale up.
@@petere5313 No, there are no fixed rules for that. It depends on your niche, quality of the content, history of the domain, etc. But in general you need a good amount of content to have substantial income. Once you have covered everything you think is relevant, it is important to keep everything up to date.
Best thing about you guys is you guys dont hide anything you value your youtube viewers just like your members when it comes to sharing knowledge! Thank you guys!! 👏👍
Im at 425 and epmv is at 20.47 but that's good for January considering its the first quarter after xmas and I'm out of season. it will climb again over the next couple of months. December and November for that matter were great and I was seeing on average 55.00 and as high as 71 at one point
Interesting. I've been seriously considering launching a blog to go with my attempts at being a RU-vidr. I'm more of a writer than a speaker anyway, but I really have no idea if blogs are even read in 2022. It's hard to do RU-vid well and it's really hard to do blogging well, They both take a lot of time to get going with little to no payoff in the first year(s). Lots to think about here. Thank you for the information.
I think it's really interesting how you put it but yes, people still read blogs in 2022. I spend a lot of time reading them for instance, more than I watch RU-vid. Wishing you the very best.
@@Missjeddy Thank you for that! And I appreciate the input as well. Good to hear it and good to know! I think I will take the leap soon and give it a real go. Have a wonderful day!
One of my current websites with about 175 total articles (75 before I joined Income School) gets 15k PVs and a EPMP of $15. It's in the pets niche, which I don't think I properly considered how competitive it'd be. Definitely going to write something more finance related for my second site, whenever I get around to doing one (my day job is in law/finance so I have the credentials to support the swap).
If you think that pet niche is competitive, you will be unpleasantly surprised once you see the competition in the law / finance since there is the most money - hence most competition
@@tomforeign4899 true bro... I am in the Finance Niche and yes, it is competitive , by far. You need to be very strategic to move a niddle. Which niches would you recommend that are less competitive but have less cash to be made?
Interesting video - thanks! Really interesting what happens post-100 I’m particular. The ranges are crazy as well - there’s such a gap between the numbers. Would be interesting to break down the primary influencing factors that determine where you land on the scale with the same number of views.
Hi! In last year's video, we were given a big disclaimer - "all the posts are considered 8 months or more old." So, in this video, let's say we have 50 blog posts, does the disclaimer from the last year still applies? Like the posts should be at least 8 months or more older. The reason why I am asking this is because there are a lot of people who somehow achieved their milestone of 50 blogposts, or 100 blogposts recently, and watching this video without that important disclaimer/knowledge would really make them feel underrated.
Interesting observations. Better to increase the content quality than to worry about what has changed. The better the content quality, the better the earnings. The number of posts doesn't matter as long as you are providing value for your visitors.
Thank you for making these videos! I have learned so much from them and have seen results from incorporating the techniques you talk about. Next month I will be able to go back to school (Income School) and learn even more about how to make my blog a success- WOOHOO!!!
Great info ! - Would love to see more content on how to take an existing (underperforming) blog w. 1-2k views/ month and blow it up to 50-100k views / month - (what to look for in google search console / analytics / ect.)?
Woow! That's great, just wondering how much you can achieve in one year ... Unlike me, whos lazy, only published 12 articles in a year . Please, let me know, which tool you use for keyword research, and do you outsource your articles?
Maybe it is time to use the PESO model to teach a real distinction between owned media- your blog post and earned media - your SERP ranking. SEO boils down to persuading Google to create an SER and list it high enough to drive traffic to your site. Your approach to snippets is a perfect example of how to get Google to do that. The fact that Google rewrites about two-thirds of the meta descriptions to suit itself underscores that they are crowdsourcing their content from us. On the other hand, our content should deliver value that addresses our audience's real needs by increasing pleasure or reducing pain. If Google ever figures out how to create a competent AI, it will have no choice but to duplicate our audience's needs and select our content as the answer.
Thanks for sharing this. It's very encouraging👍. But with just 3 articles I still have a loooong way to go😩. I hope I don't loose the momentum. Good luck to everyone!💪
@@CallmeKaram actually I lost the momentum for a couple of months 😫but when I saw that I was showing on the first page of Google for a few keywords I got my motivation back. I must be doing something right. Right!Now I have 10 articles. I know it's still very little, but.....as long as I'm moving forward 👌
1 make about a hundred dollars for every thousand views. My issue is getting more visits and traffic, I've got over a hundred articles made. Hoping to see it grow and see traffic grow too! (I'm under the underperform range for how many articles I have.)
I totally subbed your channel, it's pure gold. I started my blog too, 10 articles so far, and Adsense approved. As you can see I have my own YT channel too, my CPM goes from 4 to 8USD, how much is for a channel of this niche? I am thinking real estate videos maybe.
All this is HIGHLY dependent on search analysis like you said. I've currently published 73 blog posts but still around 600 monthly visits. Most of them even get 0 impressions. I'll just assumed I've not published anything and start counting from 1 again with search analysis.
Hey guys, thanks to the wonderful income school course, I'm running the relationship/dating website with my brother and reached to a significant amount of numbers so far. BTW which software you guys are using to edit your youtube videos?
Hi Ricky, could you make a video on how to grow a blog that's already ranking for some low to medium competition keywords. Also, if that blog has around 60 posts (Commerical + informational). Looking forward
Great video as always from IS…but the reality is -it’s very hard to quantify how much you can make ?? there’s so many factors that determine this…backlinks, keyword, domain authority etc…in addition, everyone comes at Affiliate marketing from a different staring point ..perhaps you can do an updated video !!
Hey Ricky, such a cool remake vid & great motivator. (Although Jim's was a bit more dramatic 🤣) I had lost any traction last year with lock downs & home schooling😭 from sun up to sun down .. all in all Unfortunately my brain just broke and so did my energy for writing. Felt like I missed the boat 😞 BUT......you've just rekindled that fire in my belly...yes I can &will do 100 articles starting today... actually it's 90 .... I've got old versions drafted.💪👌 Pushing through my fear.... Got everything to gain!!!!! 🤠😎
Ricky great video! I'm thinking, should I just focus on pumping out content like crazy? I average 2200 words per post and I have 80 posts so far 3 months in. I'm thinking about hitting 500 blog posts by June 30 2022 and 1000 by the end of 2022. All of them are low in competitiveness and have search volume and are things ppl are searching for. If given 8 months to rank, can I expect 3k-10k+ per month from just ad revenue? It's in a highly competitive niche.
The niche you're in, does it have several categories that you can branch out?? I'm upto something similar. Trying to crank out 1500 blog posts to earn enough from ads alone
Hey Ricky, my site is starting to flesh out with more articles (20 now and many more coming in hot). I'm getting my first trickles of traffic, and it's definitely exciting! My question is, should I start monetizing already via ads? Or should I wait until I have more traffic? Down the line I'd like to try other monetization strategies like an online course, but right now I'm still in the content creation stage until I hit 50 posts. Should I be monetizing already, or focusing on growing the traffic first?
Hi Hamid. I'm not sure about 30 articles, but 100 might be an issue when it comes to indexing. Check this other Income School video out (I found it helpful). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xnva2g2uVpI.html
I’d love to achieve these results. My rule of thumb is $5 per article after 12 months. Better lower your expectations. Blogging is hard enough. No need to chase unicorns.
I love the Star Wars Lego example, I was cracking up! I am a Star Wars Lego fan too! Thank you for the Blog earning update! I wish I was getting 20,000 PV for my +100 posts. I guess I need to work harder on my search analysis or maybe I need to understand it better.
Hey there Ricky, i have got a blog (8months old) currently monetized with Ezoic ads. I've integrated ezoic two weeks ago and my EPMV is only 9$. Why is it so low, unlike you guys teach here(15 to 20$). All my traffic is from US and blog post is product focused.
you should optimize for ads mine is 27 dollars epmv I got really long posts with lots of images and interlinks and putting lots of ads everywhere also format the posts so they have to scroll the page longer and you earn more money.
@@hayd7371 True, but I've heard lots of testimonials(even from a few friends of mine) that the course works and will get you where you need to be as long as you put in the hard work and watch all the material... So as long as the course work, that's all that matters....
Ezoic EPmV is low when you just implement it. Give it a few more months and you will see your EPMV go up a bit. Also, EPMV across all sites is highest in the holiday season (October to December) and drops off in January. One of my sites had a $45 EPMV in December but dropped to $18 in January (I'm using mediavine ads). That should give you an idea.
One simple thing I don't get it: How exactly are formed these numbers about the earnings? Do you need Ad banners/affiliate marketing/ or some other similar method on your blog, or you are talking about pure viewing? Thank you.
Thanks for the great video! I’m a new affiliate marketer- this video makes it sound like if you just keep on creating GOOD high level content in a solid niche, views will come in on their own. Is this correct?
(ctd.) So my fellow viewers, let us make the most of information distilled from a pool of data otherwise unavailable to any of us. This helps us decide where to pitch based on our niche, resource availability, and level and variety of skill-set related to blogging. Why ask for more? or degrade its value by missing the point.
Hi, Ricky Big fan of yours. I have watched your videos you talk about blog writing. Please share some though on Commercial / transactional content and Service area's websites
Hello Ricky. Can you please share your opinion on this comment . ""AI tools basically gathers content across the web to generate "new" content. That "new" content will again become input of ai tool to become another "new" content for someone else. Basically, whats happening is ai tools are polluting the landscape and worth & value of content will decrease. I think overtime, the ai tools might become a huge risk to use as Google and other engines will find a way to find thats its ai content but most importantly they might find out that article is not delivering true value and there are many similar articles on web. May be this happen soon as this cant continue for long. The biggest enemy of an ai tool is not google but itself & other ai tools. Nevertheless, right now its golden era of ai tools.""
Please Ricky, I have been meaning to ask... In writing a blog post, is there anything wrong with writing/typing content on Ms word then copy it and paste on WordPress?
Great video, but I need advice: I'm having trouble with the numbers because I'm writing for an European country in my native language. How can I find out if my blog is doing well? All the reference numbers and revenue I can find in videos like this are US related and now I'm doubting it I can ever have enough income from it, since my country is pretty small - so less competition but obviously the group searching for my topic is way smaller than all English speaking countries combined..
Can project 24 help you figure out even what language should you blog in? (I’m Irish / Italian) And if my best option would be the latter, can project 24 still be helpful even for non English blogs? Probably a silly question but I’m new to all this :)
U.S is the world's consumer mate. The large advertising sites only count the views you get in usa to qualify. Some British bloggers even write in American English. Writing in Italian will not get you large earnings.
Guys all this videos are great but you need to have passion about the topic you are writing. Not everyone earns the above & most probably this video is made to bring more people to blogging & ultimately sell their project 24 course. Which is perfectly fine but just letting out there. Cheers.
I wrote 11 decently sized articles 1.5 years ago to see if there's any future to this. 😟 I get about 5-10 page views per month. I am going to need 1000 articles to get 10000 pv/month. No way 😫
What am I doing wrong? Have an 5 year old nice looking site, 400 total articles with 350 rather good articles and 50 not so much. Good design, good user experience (my biased opinion) and I only have 5000-7000 pageviews/month and earn about 150-300$ each month. Any 1 open to having a quick look and telling me what the hell I'm doing wrong. It's a bit disheartening seeing these expected numbers from Ricky and the amount of work I've put into my site and seeing only a fraction of the result of what is considered underperforming. :/
@@sol0008 Can you help me too ? I have 30 blog posts, activated Adsense. I have goal to write 100 blog posts until July, i am writing about 2-3 posts daily. I would appreciate if you could review my site. I would like to know, am i going in the right direction with content, keywords, ranking on google, will my effort pay off to me ?
Is a Site focused on Winter Apparel Alone (affiliate site ) a good idea to invest in? Will being searched only during winter harm the ranking of the site?
Your video is very informative, Thanks for sharing your results with us. Can you please create a video about content outsourcing and cover topics like which websites are good for outsourcing content, how much to pay and what is the best way to outsource content?
I have more than 100 posts, than I only get 6k pageviews a month right now lol. So I am beyond underpperforming. I get a ton of impressions, just not a lot of click throughs. Averaging about 300 page views a day at the moment.
I'm in a niche where I see Income School Students ranking. Every single search query I try, there is Income School Student ranking. What should I do in this scenario?? I am kinda confused if it's worth trying to write better content. This niche has been my whole life and I enjoy writing for it - but it's a pain finding topics with search analysis. Any advice?
Just go ahead with it. My website is in a niche with lots of income school students. My 4 biggest competitor sites are all run by income school students. But that did not stop me from venturing into the niche. More than 1 site can rank for a search query
About 2 months ago my EPMP was about $12 now it is $4.01 and dropping. I have 37 articles and am making $43.99 in ad revenue and about $20 in affiliate marketing. 2 months ago I was bringing in over $110. Hopefully, the EPMP's will start going up again.
Hello Mark, I am just getting into the website/blogging arena. I wanted to see if you have additional information about your experience so far? Did you see your EPMP increase in the last 4 weeks or continue to drop? Also have you continued to create articles or did you stop at the 37 mark? I am only sitting at 9 articles so far. While your numbers may seem low to you, they seem like a good amount to my 0 views so far. I just wanted to check in and see how things are going :)
While we are on this question, I want to ask is that what is the optimal number of posts that I should write on my blog. For your reference, I will talk about SEO and digital marketing.
@@lamborghinicentenario2497 Yes you are correct. Sure this is a highly competitive niche, considering hundreds and thousands of people talking about the same topic. But I will have a different approach, just like Income school has. Their fresh approach to the same topic is what made them stand out from the crowd.
I understood the scraching the bottom of barrels you're talking about but what if I have relatively bigger niche that comprises 3 to 4 sub niches, each has potential to covers 60 to 70 article topics. Then should I create 2-3 seperate sites with around 100 articles or put everything under in one site. I dont understand why EPMV drops if I am not cannablizing my articles? Sorry if I am misunderstanding... THANKS ❣️
@@funnybaby1119 but those sub-niches are closely related... Then why I shouldn't use the authority and trust I build with my first sub-niche to quickly grow in another, instead of starting completely new site from scratch
Suppose you've got a niche where you can sell a course, which tends to bring in much more money than ads. So your monetization depends on how many individual people come to your site more than on how many pageviews you rack up, right? Supposing that 30,000 people come to your site each month, does it really make a difference whether they view 30,000 pages or ten times that? Either way, you've still only got 30,000 potential customers for your course. So you keep writing more and more content, and you get more and more pageviews, but your number of unique visitors only goes up a little. Your pageviews are coming from your visitors reading more content per person, not from more visitors. Well, that's nice and all, but each visitor will still buy only one course (at best). So your pageviews rise a lot, your earnings only a little, and when the numerator (earnings) goes up a little and the denominator (pageviews) goes up a lot, the ratio (earnings per thousand pageviews) goes down.
@@yehoshuakahan9336 thanks a lot, but I said the niche I am in is very broad. But instead of writing articles about everything in that niche, first I am only building one category. You can take example of sports. After finishing 1 sport, when I jump to other sports, number of visitors will definitely increase because they are different people... Is there any downside to this approach??
This is very useful and timely information - note that only 'Income School' or similar organisation can provide this kind of info, but most will not do it or do it this well. So my fellow viewers, let's make the best use of what has been distilled from a significant pool of data, otherwise unavailable to any of us. This helps us decide where to pitch depending on our niche, resource-availability and level of skill in relation to blogging. Why ask for more? or degrade it's value by missing the point.
