Update time
Corona virus has seriously impacted my niche and earnings.
I am see a huge downfall.
The ad revenue is dropped from 2$/day to 0.5$/day
The affiliate earnings took a huge hit as well.
I have done nothing with the site since last update.
Except just one article posted.
The organic keywords has reached about 5.5k in ahrefs which is quite a growth.
Whats the plan for the site in future?
I do not plan to to sell the site in panic for a minor profit. I truly believe in 6 months from now when everything will be back to normal.
Revenue will be back to normal as well.
Personalyl i think it gonna get worse from now atleast for next 3-5 months.
good news
I planing to start a new site from scratch this week. I may/may not make a new journey thread. I aim to a build much larger site to reach 5k$/month in 12-18months.

I target KGR keywords so I do anything below 250 MS. Even zero volume too!
How much do you pay for your guest posts and where do you get them from?

Update time
I was convinced i was gonna hit 500$ without amzon rates slash. Ahh well!
Good news is i baught a new domain will be starting a new project soon. Its more competiitve space.
Total income from ads+amzon so far = 360$
Not bad.
Next month will see the full effect of commission rate slash.
Some links i make myself but majority has been outsourced.
Go for it.
Dont let tools misguide you.
I had 80 sv keyword bring in more than 10k views month.

update
my site got hit hard from the update.
i was averaging a nice 25$/day this month before update
i ll wait two -three weeks before doing anything to the site to see where it stands.
should be less than 5k$.
probably around 4k$.
i will do the calculations in a . month.
comparison table.
but high conversion could just be peak season. for the niche. i do not know. have to wait a few months to see if the conversion rate stays constant.

its been a complete one year since i baught the domain.
Here are pure stats
i made total about 1400$ so far from the site.
i have failed to hit 500-1k$/month mark.
last month i saw sharp dip in revenue as i only made 360$ from the site.
I have been hit from the algo update and amazin rate slash has also affected the site.
However I learned alot from the experience. i am confident next project will be a success.
Whats the plan for the site?
i wont sell it off. It still profitable for me asi have only invested around 3.5k$ on site (could be 4k$).
I will keep it with me by side as i build my other two bigger projects.
Thank you for following the journey.

Yes indeed
Yes
seeong huge drop in income for aff site after update and amaz cut
Mid month update
this month has been pretty rough i just some very good rankings. part of the reason could be spam links that my competitor is building to my site.
I removed ads because they were slowing my site down and wanted to test some things.
Got rejected from mediavine as well.
Total so far in 14 days is around 90$
i might end this month with 150$
seems like it.
on a good note. I just buaght a new aged domain which i cant wait to get my hands on.
