November was the big month where I finally revealed the new-look Going Awesome Places to the world and while I wish I can say it was a piece of cake, there was a lot of work involved that made it an arduous task but also incredibly rewarding once I got it out into the world. Follow along in the journey because who knows, a site refresh might be something you’re thinking about as well!

Hello Travel Blog Breakthrough readers! Hope you’re having a good summer so far and that there is lots of travel and blogging happening. While May was pretty quiet on the income front, I saw a nice bump in June thanks to invoices being paid. One thing you’ll learn while working with brands is that invoices rarely get paid as quickly as you’d like. So how did June go? Let’s find out!
*madly typing away* – This is me trying my best to catch up. What I’ve learned from blogging is that no matter how much you seem to get done, there’s always more to do. I love that there’s always lots of content to create but at the same time you kind of wish things weren’t a frenzy all the time. I’m way behind on Travel Blog Breakthrough but I know there’s a lot of interest for these income reports so here we go with May.
Chatting with other travel bloggers is always a treat. Each one of us have carved our own path to success and what has got them where they are to day is so different. While that’s the case, that’s not to say that we can’t learn from each other and that’s why these podcasts are so powerful. In this one with Stephen Palmer of Irish Around Oz, he shares his wealth of knowledge of Facebook ads and e-mail marketing. This one’s jam packed with information so...
Just like that we’re in 2016. Everything resets and it’s a chance for reflection and looking forward to all the things you want to accomplish. Set the bar high. Shoot for the stars. With one more income and traffic report remaining, this closes the books on 2015. I’m curious just as you are how I did.
Happy Holidays everyone! This is going to be the last income and traffic report of 2015 so let’s make this a good one. This one is also going to be jam packed with information as I’ll finally have an opportunity to do look back at the last 12 months and see how it’s tallied up and things that I’ve learned this year.
Hey guys! Can you believe that it’s been one year since I started these income and traffic reports? With this being the one year anniversary, I thought I’d try to change things up. I don’t know about you but these have been getting a little repetitive so why don’t we blow it all up! For those of you that are just joining Travel Blog Breakthrough, first of all, WELCOME! And secondly, let’s do an intro of what these reports are all about.
Affiliate marketing is scary. I get that. I had trouble figuring it out and continue to learn how to do a better job today. With that, I thought it’d make sense to bring in an expert in the field to chat about this whole business of making money through links. It’s jam packed with info so hope you enjoy! : Play in new window | Download | EmbedSubscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android | RSS
September was a kick ass month for Going Awesome Places all things considered. I cracked $1000 for only the second time this year. It’s not time to pop the champagne yet because there’s still a lot more work to be done! This month, I’m going to try something a little different. Instead of all the detail I’ve done in the past, I’m going to keep things higher level to get you the information you care about up front. Let me know what you think!
The month of August was another good month. While I haven’t been able to crack the $1000 mark, I’ve been happy with the consistency considering I’ve been basically blogging on a part-time basis. I think a lot of this has just come down to setting the right things in place and letting it run. With it being the summer, I was more than happy with this.
First of all, I have to apologize for getting the July income report out SO late. It’s been a whirlwind summer of travel and between this and Going Awesome Places, it’s definitely been tough to keep up. The good news is that the podcasts are going again and I’m catching up on these reports as well. So winding the clock a little, I had a chance to dig into how July’s performance was. While it wasn’t as good as I had hoped it to be, money still trickled in...
My oh my how the months go by. I was supposed to work on this weeks ago but something called Competitours happened at the beginning of July and the finishing up of my 13 episode series. It’s kind of how life is for a blogger in the summer. Most of the travel opportunities come in the summer and when that happens you end up having to play a lot of catch up after trips. May was just one of those lulls that you hit as a blogger when you hit the road and don’t get to build on...
I know a lot of you have been eagerly awaiting for the May income report to come out so thank you for being patient! After an amazing April, I wish I could’ve followed it up with another stellar finish but as it goes with blogging, there are always a lot of up and downs. Consistency is what we’re all trying to strive for but the nature of the business is that it’s constantly a lot of hustle to keep opportunities coming in. That’s why I keep on saying that...
Hey everyone! Welcome to the March 2015 income and traffic report for Going Awesome Places and Travel Blog Breakthrough. Well another month’s gone by and it’s another month that I’ve continued to crack the $1000 threshold. Through this report, I hope to give you insight on how exactly I make money with the hopes that it’ll spark some ideas. I also talk about my traffic numbers to give a sense of what kind of traffic is needed to make the money that I do. My...
I’ll tee up this income report as my most successful month yet! A lot of things are starting to click so hopefully you guys’ll pick up on a few things to help with your own blog.

I really want to show you guys that it IS possible to make money blogging. The key is really to shift your mindset and start...
