Hey Shouter,
Welcome to the first blog income & traffic report of 2016. This is a part of ShoutMeLoud transparent culture & if you wish to know why I share such exclusive details, you should read this to understand our culture.
It’s been a while that I have published our transparency report & it’s only because I was busy learning more than making money. In the past two months, I have traveled a lot & in the quest to unlearn & learn again.
Attended Affiliate marketing summit West 2016:
Last month I went for my first U.S.A. trip to attend Affiliate marketing summit in Las Vegas.
I also had a chance to meet & spend quality times with many pro-bloggers such as Syed Balkhi, Zac Johnson to name a few. Along with that, I met many of my favorite companies that I have been working & over-all going to Affiliate marketing summit west 2016 was a great experience.
Later on, I also went to Mountain view to meet folks over at Google & Coursera. (Check out Google HQ album on Facebook here). Overall, those 20 days were full of lot of learning & new experience. You can browse many of the pics on my Instagram account.
Due to travel schedule, you might have noticed slow posting here at ShoutMeLoud, but as I made it clear last year, you will be seeing only quality posting over quantity here at SML.
How Not to Write Meaningless Blog Posts For The Success of your Blog
My post on Affiliate Summit West 2016 is pending which I will be publishing soon & I also got to know about many new companies, online tools which you will be hearing from me in the coming days. For now, let’s look at how posting less affected ShoutMeLoud traffic.

Android app traffic: January 2016
In 2016, one of my goals is to focus a lot on gaining mobile subscribers & one thing which I’m going to do something new is; making our app more interactive & engaging. I have made a few UX changes in the past few months & by the 3rd quarter of 2016, you can expect the biggest update for our app.
Regarding traffic, ShoutMeLoud Android app traffic is increasing every month & here is the mobile app traffic report for January 2016.
Overall January 2016 was a great month for ShoutMeLoud concerning traffic & I’m pretty excited to touch 1.5 million page-views in coming months.
February is going to be the most exciting month for ShoutMeLoud, as you will see a lot of content & I’m also updating ShoutMeLoud Affiliate marketing ebook. Existing buyers (Even if you buy today) will get free access to the updated version of our ebook.
