EPMV will improve in ezoic. Next months earnings will be at least 2-3x better

I sure hope so, it's slowly down my site to the point where I might have to upgrade the hosting.

Yea that's the downside of Ezoic slow as hell. Once you get to 50k pageviews per month try to join mediavine.
Right now it's adapting to your site so EPMV will be low, it'll be way better by the end of the month.

Big Update
A decent amount has changed since the last update. I'll run through the usual stats and then move onto my expectations and plans.
Stats
I've fully moved to Ezoic, and away from analytics. So all stats will come from there now.
As you can see. BIG increases across the board. As @spectrejoe said, ezoic is getting a lot better. Had a rapid jump in my Semrush projected visitors as well, which I believe is starting to show in real life if you look at the number of visitors.
Revenue
Revenue from the site is averaging around $60 a month now.
Posts
Currently have around 132 published posts. Every single post, when indexed, usually ranks in the top 10. The latest post indexed in the top 4. My latest post, published a week ago, has 400 visits. This is very unusual as the organic traffic should not be that high.
Vistors
My visitor count is fairly stable. I don't rely on one page, most of the pages carry their weight when it comes to my visitors. 99% of my visitors come from organic search traffic.
Hosting
I finally upgraded from shared to VPS hosting on Hostinger. This costs a lot more but has already improved the speed of the site. The hosting also allows for unlimited websites, which drastically reduces the startup costs for another blog.
Targets
I want to begin boosting this site either further, as these current gains have been built on stagnation for the past few months. I am setting out my targets below, which I want to be achieved by the 1st of October 2021.
Revenue
I want to consistently earn $100 a month from this site. I expect this to all come from ad revenue.
Visitors
I currently have around 400 visitors a day. I want to double this to 800 visitors a day by October. I aim to do this from primarily organic search traffic, as there are many keywords that I haven't hit yet. I will also research Pinterest.
Posts
I want to get to 200 posts by October 1st. This is an increase of 68 posts, or around a post every other day. I think this is easily achievable.
Conclusion
I have set the stage and my current goals. Let's see if I get there. Will try to update every other day, as a post goes out.

Today's revenue is continuing to update by the way. At current trends, I think we may see our first breach into $3 per day. I will update tomorrow if we make it...

I expected a breach into $3, I didn't expect this though. Definitely a new revenue record for a day.
