February 2024 blogging income
Nothing much happening for this site, still waiting for Google to notice me.But I am proud to announce I published a second blogsite end of February. This shows I still believe in blogging as good way to set up a passive income stream.
Check the numbers below and find out what the future will bring for these blogs.
Posts
As february was a busy month for me, I am a bit sad I only published 12 new blog posts.
But I did release another blog in a totally different niche (IT related) on which I currently have 5 posts.
And by the end of this year, I want to have 100 posts on this site and around 75 on my IT-related site.

Visitors
No need to display any screenshots or number for both sites yet as they very new and still need to be discovered by Google.
As I am doing everything by myself, I did run into some issue getting this site indexed by Google. I am slowly sorting this out and hope to have everything solved in the next days.
Another advantage of doing everything on my own is that I am currently learning a lot about onsite and off-site SEO.
Getting a nice ranking on Google will take several months and so getting organic traffic probably will take longer. What I will try during these months, is getting traffice from other sources. Currently I am working on a plan to get public on social media and attract visitors via Facebook and Twitter (sorry, X).

Revenue
Again something without a screenshot: 0 income for February.
I also don't expect any income for the next 3-4 months and then I still apply for Google Ads. And then I hope to show you some increasing numbers every month.
I hope to drive some visitors from social media but again, this is also something I need to build an audience for. A bit a catch 22, but I am sure that the result will be worth waiting for.

Costs
Sadly enough, here I have some numbers :-(.
Domainname: 10.28$
hosting: 11.91$
Again, a one-time cost for buying a new domain-name.
Both site are hosted on the same droplet by Digital Ocean. One site or multiple sites, the cost for hosting will stay the same. As I have now 2 blog sites online, you can say hosting per site cost me 5.95$, which seems okay to me.
I want to keep the costs as low as possible, that is why I decided to go for this option.Nbr> For the few thumbnails and pictures I have on this site, I use MidJourney. But as MidJourney is mainly used for my Etsy shop, I won't take the subscription for that one into consideration for the costs my 2 blogs.

Passive income for February
Everything combined (0$ income and 22.19$ expenses) makes a total net loss of 22.19$ for February.
The next months, there won't be any income from this blog but I hope to get breakeven in 5 to 6 months. And from then on, every month a bit more and more.
The purpose is to build a good foundation first. A foundation on which I can build a nice passive income stream.

Conclusion and Expectations
I wasn't able to stick to my original posting plan but I try to make it up this month and get to the projected 40 posts after 3 months.
The IT-related site will be something different as writing a articles takes much longer as it coding lots of coding snippets. My hope is to post 10 posts on that site every month and build a coding community around it.
Also, getting authority on it will be easier than for this site.
I am aware that it will take months to get noticed by Google and get ranked for some keywords. But I am patient and I know I will succeed.
