Your Modern Family Income  
(You can see my most popular posts in my About Page by clicking right here.)

So many of you have asked me (on our Facebook Group that you should join!) about how to monetize your blog and how much I make.  I haven’t told anyone my income, except a few close friends and family members, until last month.  I shared my August income from Your Modern Family.

This post contains affiliate links to the companies that I work with.  I hope that this post helps you… I have a nervous stomach sharing it today, but when I open up to you, you can grow your blog & be successful!

IF you have come to this page, let me explain:

I have two blogs.

1- Your Modern Family 

2- Blogging on the Side (this one)

I am sharing the income that I make on Your Modern Family (we make a little bit of money on this blog, but we are mostly focused on helping you to learn to blog successfully, with balance.) 
I blog about everything from raising kids to DIY ideas.  I share recipes and tips on saving money…  I have ebooks about Potty Train in a Weekend and You Can Be a Stay at Home Mom on One Income.

Your Modern Family has slowly grown.   I have now been blogging for 20 months.  I have around 500,000-600,000 page views via Google Analytics every month…

Also- I am a HUGE money-saver.  I pretend like this money does not exist and I still shop only on clearance, I still live on my husband’s income, I still only send one child to school to save on preschool tuition.

I also pay expenses.  I pay $99 a month for WordPress Hosting (you can get it cheaper!) and I pay weekly for someone to link up my posts to Linky Parties.   I also pay for things like business cards, etc…

If you are asking yourself how much time, etc… I put into my blog, you can find all of that info right here: How to get over 1,000,000 visitors to your blog.
