Welcome to Blogging with Amanda!
I am very happy to get this second blog started! This is a huge accomplishment. My first blog is https://www.momwifeandeverydaylife.com. This is still my primary focus, however, https://www.bloggingwithamanda.com is where I can talk about my blogging journey and share all the ups and downs.

Published Posts
I only published 4 posts this first month. I plan to do about 6 per month.
When I launched I only had a few posts prewritten. With the launch of my first blog, I had 30 pieces of content ready.
My plan for this blog is to post an income report for each of my blogs. The other content will be related to how to start and run a blog. Content will include my timeline and milestones along my way as well as what you can do for your own success.
I am happy with 4 published posts for the month of July. My mommy blog had 6 published articles in July so ten across my portfolio is an accomplishment for sure.
Views
When it comes to users and pageviews I did not concern myself this month. Basically, nobody knows about Blogging with Amanda. I have not started promoting it anywhere. With my first blog, I jumped right into Pinterest. I’ll touch more on that later.
I am thankful for any and all pageviews and users. I am not sure how they stumbled upon my tiny new blog.
I would also like to note that I think I included myself in the views and need to remove myself. I seriously doubt 11 users viewed 121 pages. After all, there were only 4 posts to view.
Income & Expenses
Blogging with Amanda is not monetized at this point. What this means is I do not have any ads, affiliate links, or products to sell or recommend. I had no way of making money this first month.
This was the plan. I didn’t want to put the work in to make money yet. Publishing content was the first priority along with the initial set up of the website.
In the near future, the website will have affiliate links to start making money.
My expenses associate with starting this blog include $25.98 for the domain for two years and $30 for two years of security.
When I purchased hosting for my first blog I bought a plan that can host multiple domains so that is already covered.
If you have a desire to track your own blogging numbers click the form to become a subscriber and you will get a free PDF with templates you can use yourself. I have provided a couple of options as well as an example filled out for you.
Pinterest can be a huge source of traffic to your blog. With my first blog Mom Wife and Everyday Life, I had a Pinterest account prepared and ready to go when I launched my blog.
Juggling multiple blogs is going to be hard. I’ve known this and therefore decided to wait on starting Pinterest until I have more posts published.
I am prioritizing content creation over content promotion at this point.
While working on content I would like to open a Canva account and start creating a stockpile of pins corresponding to my articles so when I am ready to start publishing pins I will not be overwhelmed with work.
Stockpiling everything and batching work is how I stay calm cool collected and most importantly ahead.
Goals
My goals with this blog include posting all income and traffic reports for all of my blogs. This is my home for everything blogging. I will provide information on what I learn along the way.
For this blog, in particular, my current goals are to finish with setup and work on posting content.
My near future goals are to start creating pins on Canva.
I would also like to set up a Pinterest account and start optimizing my boards.
I am not in rush to make anything happen with this blog because my first blog is going to continue to be my priority for now.
Strategy/Changes
I have barely started so I don’t have anything that I would change yet. I simply plan to continue publishing content.

Feelings
I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with starting a second blog, but also am very proud of myself!
I don’t have any feeling regarding traffic or numbers because I am just getting started.
Conclusion
I am excited about starting this blog. My first blog Mom Wife and Everyday Life is all about helping moms. I love giving advice to those who seek to hear it.
Blogging with Amanda is my outlet to give advice related to everything I have learned on my blogging journey.
I simply love helping people.
I am very excited to talk business rather than just talk mommy life.
I hope you enjoyed this income report and continue to follow my journey.
