The Bewitchin’ Kitchen Income Report – December 2016
December was a busy month, but I still found time to take the last two weeks off to prep for our Disneyland trip (and start the Conquer course). Here’s The Bewitchin’ Kitchen Income Report for December.
Curious on how to start a food blog (or a general blog)? <– Check out the guide! Don’t forget to check out my blogging resources too!
New expenses:Â
CONQUER the Layers of Search Engine Optimization – I’m a fan of Crystal and Kelly’s courses (I have all of them listed at the bottom of this post). Since I started them, I went from 300 Google search traffic a day to over 1000. I’m still implementing everything, so I have high hopes. Conquer was released in December, and I didn’t hesitate to buy it. It’s more expensive, but it’s a self-lead online course and I’m LOVING it so far.
As for my income, I’m waiting on close to $6500 in unpaid invoices so hopefully, they show up before the year ends!
