20th it's kind of a typical day I'm going to start with the three revenue streams the number one I'm going to go over is affiliate that's primarily through my blog Adam enfc I do a little bit on YouTube but it's primarily through my blog so first I'm going to show you partner stack so partner stack is an affiliate dashboard you can see that for next month which is now this month October pending earnings are about 31,000 but September 20th was a normal kind of deposit that I got 1,000 90 it wasn't as big as the one on September 6th $18,200 or August 7th 23 or 16 or 23 25 25 so it's kind of a random number right 1,90 and a little bit later on we're going to cover exactly like what's the article that made this money what's the exact article that's doing these things and I'll show you that but we're going to add that in September 20th one affiliate Network $1,090 so you'll notice total I've made 1.3 million just with partner stack and next month which is now this month they're going to be paying me $31,000 uh commissions that are pending and approved then we move to impact radius on September 20th we're looking at $428 40 if we look at that's a teachable payment right there if we look at blue host too blue host is one in uh impact that I'm kind of growing and really focused on so if we do blue host and we just do it's currently the 25th so it's September when I'm the timing of this video so we got 3,600 a month in uh blue host so we're I'll you exactly which article single article that one is driving as well all right so that was about $428 but to recap we're going with just this one day this is a teachable sale I'll show you the exact article there $428 on September 20th all right I want to take a quick moment and tell you about our sponsor today and that

productivity will thank you next up is one that's kind of similar to affiliate but not exactly affiliate it's CPC cost per click deals so I work with a brand that works with these bigger Brands like CRM tools HubSpot and all of them to get these custom CPC deals and we split the amount so if you see here this was September 20th I made about $74 through that nine clicks to Tik Tok so Tik Tok is paying per click Tik Tok for business I have articles on that I will show you and then pipe Drive CRM was $11 for a click there for $74 so this is where we are so far I'm not great at math but next moving on is course sales so I primarily sell coaching and education programs through YouTube It's coaching you know I we have five coaches that actually help students in the community if I look at September 20th we made two sales for $1,000 9994 add that to the total now we also have another monthly Community where I do live q&as that's about 15,000 a month I'm not even going to include that here I'm trying to show you a realistic day you notice I didn't show the 18,000 23,000 crazy days on Partner stack uh I'm showing a realistic day but there's other small revenue streams that are kind of monthly that come in I'm just going to kind of give you for context so for example we also have income University where I do live q&as and things like that and interact with people that's just a monthly subscription that's about 15,000 a month so divide that by 30 it's like 500 a day randomly I'm not even including that all right so we covered some affiliate course sales now let's get into ad Revenue so I'm in the medi Vine ad Network for my blog you can see here it's General numbers um if I look to that exact date September 20th was down a little bit from the previous days that's $87.99 from 10,700 sessions on my blog so you can see the RPM right here is $821 so I made $821 for every 1,000 visitors on the blog in addition to the mediavine ad revenue for my blog we also of course have YouTube ad revenue on Friday September 20th that was $96.3 Friday is usually one of the slower days of the month because we usually publish videos on Mondays so you can see Mondays are a little bit higher usually but that one was 9630 added to the total so that is the total for this video I'm not trying to over exaggerate but there's some other stuff too not everything's especially affiliate it's not going to come in on the one day of the month 20th but I wanted to show you a realistic view for example I'm in like kajabi as well they're going to pay 2,400 on the 25th of the month I'm also in buzzsprout I have a video uh where I'm in 287 affiliate programs right so they pay kind of randomly through PayPal and other things but that is a realistic number for a single day just kind of looking at different dashboards now if my math is correct which it very well might not be that is $ 3,769 that day which if you times it by 30 it's about $113,000 a month we're typically over over $100,000 a month from different affiliate programs we do we run promotions with our courses and things like that so when you bucket it all together that's what it looks like but as you saw it's not all that crazy it's number of different revenue streams coming in and it's yes it's passive income it is income not attached to my time it is time I spent for sure building content so let's actually get into the content strategy that's working for me today so there's really three main types of content that I create and I'm going to cover each one and I'm going to show you examples so there is pillar blog post like important ones that you really want to focus on there's what I call glossery blog post kind of like the ones that aren't that important but can get you a lot of traffic and then for me it's helpful YouTube videos every single YouTube video should be as helpful as possible those are the only three types of content I publish I publish six YouTube videos a month and then 20 blog posts a month and those are written by our content manager not by me I will do some editing and focus on the really important posts so it's really 26 pieces of content a month kind of on autopilot creating these income streams so first I showed you partner step back that's primarily making Revenue through affiliate programs for best online course platforms so you can see that this is a really competitive one this is one that I wrote back in I think 2019 and it's still ranking today so it's sponsored sponsored ads then there's zap Reddit and my site here so the seven best online course platforms where if you go into it this is driving Revenue through mainly thinkific the one kajabi I showed you teachable as an impact it's a really simple transactional affiliate article and if you go to leave you can see there's another link here I added with a convert box popup you also notice I showed you a blue host for the month that is primarily through the keyword how to start a blog now that's a really competitive one it was difficult High difficulty score when I first wrote it but you'll see that there's the AI overview there is Wix there are some ads the blog starter WordPress top 10 websites Reddit and then me so I actually rank between two and three for how to start a blog and this one is primarily driven through Blu host so I show individually an intro this one's a really simple article but once you get into it you can see one of the steps here is to sign up for web hosting they have a sale price right here so this affiliate link is driving that I also showed you some Tik Tok Revenue making $7 per click that is going through a number of different articles uh on Tik Tok how to make money on Tik Tok how to go live on Tik Tok things that I wrote there all of it pulled together is probably 10 articles that is driving those clicks you can see here uh how to make money on Tik Tok in 2024 simple articles here's some of the links right here that are uh the sponsored Tik Tok links and if you go to exit again a different popup Tik Tok for business so after that you'll remember I showed you mediavine ad revenue for my blog and that is primarily driven with these glossery blog posts things that are in my Niche but kind of easier keywords that are that get a lot of traffic they're not going to drive a ton of sales but they're going to make good ad Revenue so you can see I have a bunch of different on YouTube channels like YouTube ideas Instagram ideas so like Instagram captions YouTube channel ideas AI YouTube channel ideas yoga YouTu Channel and it's it's an interesting format because in your Niche if you're a blogger what you have to find is easy informational content to get a lot of traffic and usually to do that you find a seed phrase so for example mine is like Instagram captions is one because then you can just add in anything winter fall summer Ocean Sky Mountain Mom Dad brother sister you can add a ton of those uh same thing is true of YouTube channels so the best science YouTube channels the best yoga YouTube channels now it is in my Niche specifically because I do teach content I teach blogging and YouTube and social media so it makes sense but it's not going to be you know I don't spend any time on them I don't spend as much time on them as I do on my article about how to start a blog for example where I write that one but there's a lot of different articles that have been written lately and this is just primarily driving ad Revenue to the site after that I showed you YouTube ad revenue of $96 that day this is generally for the last 28 day period got about 7.4k subscribers $3,600 385 ,000 views we usually hover between 3 and 500,000 we actually stop doing short form videos because they weren't really leading to high quality people watching or sales or anything like that but you can see overall what I really like about YouTube is that you get views long after you create the video so that's another thing with blogging too you rank on Google and hopefully you sit there for a long period of time it's not like social media where you create a Tic Tac video it gets a bunch of views and it goes away sometimes you're creating digital assets that'll keep making money over time so this is like my YouTube views over the last 48 hours in the last 60 minutes and you can see here like let's look at one here like this one if I were starting a blog in 2024 this is what I'd do I published this one on November 6th 2023 it still got 768 views just in the last 48 hours about 10 months ago and this one has if I look at the analytics of just this one video now it has about 700 271,000 views so this video alone has probably made over six figures just teaching blogging getting people into the communities and things like that now if we take a look at the actual traffic to my blog you can see in HRS uh the numbers have gone up spe specifically since March once we started the more of the aid driven uh helpful content strategy I was going after easier keywords as you can see I deleted a lot of old articles on the site publishing new ones I had all kinds of articles about two different things like business software credit cards Finance crypto blogging affiliate marketting it was just two all over the place and it I did it because it worked and it made a lot of money for a long time my blogs made a million dollars 3 years in a row but it wasn't that helpful so I deleted a bunch of stuff I focused only now on you know blogging affiliate marketing YouTube basically what I talk about on YouTube itself so content driven stuff good went after easier keywords and you can see the traffic Exel rebounded what's interesting about HS it's not very accurate it overestimates and underestimates a lot so it says my organic traffic right now as the time of this recording is 247,000 it's actually if we look at my Google analytics uh 357,000 so if we look at the last 30 days comparing to the beginning 30 days of the year traffic is actually up 76% so pretty crazy it got all the way down to 43756 so it peaked at the December of 2022 it was at like 400k and then over the course of a year or so it started getting more competitive everything in business and software you see some of these big sites that used to exist all these middle tier dr70 to 80 blogs that were competing in business and software and finance went away for Forbes Reddit and those wonderful forums um so it's a pivot it was a move you know to Pivot and now you can see we're at the start of the Year we're at 43,000 now 357 so it really is about weathering the storms being aware of the algorithm aware of what you're doing and just keep pushing forward staying consistent in order to make money with content so if we look at it it's actually pretty simple nothing went viral I don't have a huge following I'm not going to get recognized at the airport I'm just a regular guy but what I think we're good at is like realizing that monetization has to come first instead of creating a hobby blog or a hobby YouTube channel you have to really think about it with a business mindset like how am I going to drive affiliate sales for Brands before I have my own product what type of product should I create and how can I rank for keywords and easy niches and how can I start and really dominate in one area so I wanted to give you a realistic glimpse of what a typical day looks like hopefully gives you some inspiration and shows you don't have to go viral you don't have to be some crazy YouTuber you can just dominate in one small subn hopefully teaching and helping as many people as you can and making passive income over the course of time so if you're interested in working with me more you know getting
