Welcome back to another Blog Income Report. Today we will take a look at Full-Time Job From Home’s income in February 2018.
If you’ve missed any of my past reports, here’s a link to all of my income reports.
February was another good month, but my income did drop quite a bit, more on this later. With that being said, I’m still happy with the income so I thought I’d share another income report and try to inspire you to Start Your Own Blog.
Below you’ll see the exact sites I’m promoting, a link to a review if I have one, how much I made, and a brief description.
Before we get started a few things to note. I started this site in 2013, so income like this didn’t happen overnight, it took a few years to start seeing a good income really, and it’s continued to grow from there. Also, you’ll see what I consider “extra income sites” on this list. Most of the income on this report is from referring others, I did not make over $100 scanning receipts or taking surveys just by myself.
Now that we have that out of the way, enjoy the income report and if you have any questions at all feel free to leave comments at the bottom of this page!

Compared To Last Month
First, let’s start with some new sites that weren’t on last month’s income report, here’re the links to the reviews of the new sites Qmee, Ebates, Fetch Rewards, Drop App, Get Up Side, Panel App.
Now let’s take a look at how the income compared to last month. Last month I made $13,841.39, so as you can see a big damn difference, which I was expecting.
Last month an app called Dosh blew up. They gave $15 per referral that downloaded the app, which made the app go viral. Luckily I had the top review, so I had a ton of traffic and made a ton of money off of referrals. In February they went back to their normal $5 per referral, so the hype stopped and not as many people were searching for the app.
I knew this would be the case, so I wasn’t surprised by the huge drop in income. I made over $4,000 with Dosh last month and only made $900 this month. Take into account the extra traffic that the post brought in due to it going viral and it all adds up.
I would love to say that I expected to make $13,000 again in February but knew that wasn’t obtainable.
Predictions For Next Month
After a slow February, I didn’t work much on my site, and that’s why I’m just now getting around to publishing an income report (now three months late.) So I actually already know the numbers for the next few months and they continue to go down a bit.
But if I look at my income over the last few years, January is always a high month then a decline over the next few months, and then everything starts to pick back up in July throughout the end of the year.
I wish I could say I maintained my high income, but that’s not the case over the next few months. I’m still making a substantial income with my blog but am ready for it to pick back up again!
How To Start A Blog
I hope you enjoyed this income report and if you have any interest in making money with a blog I urge you to start one right away. I started this blog in December 2013 and income like this doesn’t happen quickly even if you know everything there is to know about blogging, it still takes time.
If you’re interested in starting a blog, I highly recommend checking out Wealthy Affiliate. It’s where I learned how to create a website, how to create content, and how to make money. They focus on affiliate marketing which is, in my opinion, the best way to monetize your blog. They let you try for completely free, so there’s no financial commitment or risk up front. Give it a shot for free and see if it’s right for you. To learn more visit my Wealthy Affiliate Review.

Otis,
Thanks for reading and glad to hear you’re already a member of WA!
The key at the beginning is creating great content and getting traffic. To make any money you need traffic so that should be your primary focus.
Targeting low competition keywords relating to your niche is key for ranking well in Google SERPs.
Once you have traffic you can start promoting great products that you believe in. If you can show people the value of a product most are happy to use your affiliate link so you earn a commission.
Hope this helps,
Brok
