Blogging is a hobby that I love to talk about, but don’t want to bore my real life friends with. So where else can I share my obsession than on my blog! If you’re a fellow blogger, I hope this income reports are helpful and realistic. I’m a VERY part-time blogger, but I’m thrilled with the results so far! Feel free to ask me any questions in the comments section!

April was very similar to March. I was blessed with quite a few sponsored post that certain boost the bottom line around here!  IZEA and Clever Girls are still my two favorite ways to find connections to sponsored posts! Clever Girls has quality opportunities, but stiff competition. IZEA you have to sift through a lot of random post opportunities that probably don’t fit your blog, but I’ve also been approached by their representatives directly for many campaigns and those have been terrific posts!

My traffic was roughly the same at 59K pageviews a month. So no big changes, just plodding along!
