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

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.

One thing which really inspired me and got me motivated as well after seeing this report that affiliate marketing is the best tool to earn money online if you know the tricks to work with it. I am really surprised now that why people are running after adsense ? There are lot of other things which can give you much benefits than adsense, though i am using adsense for my blog but now i have started searching relevant affiliates for my niche. once again thanks for sharing this report.
Congratulations Harsh..This is awesome, its really informative and you are inspiration for all bloggers.
Congratulations Harsh,
I’m really happy for you! I’m following your steps and wish I can be making that money with my blog soon.
Thanks for sharing this money earnings reports.
You’re boss of your own business. That’s how i describe the happiness. Keep going my friend, i frequently stop by shoutmeloud. It is quite plesuare to read and learn somethingnew from here. The interesting thing that i wanna say is you’re earning very less from Adsense, I’s guessing much more you’re earning from adsense, but that’s okey. Total number is quite nice. Have a nice day.
Hey Sitem,
Thank you for reading ShoutMeLoud. It’s readers like you who makes ShoutMeLoud what it is today. 🙂
Hi Harsh, Every time check your monthly income, I get inspired and try to do something new to increase the earning of my blog. In my 5 years journey of blogging, what I have understood, it is very very difficult to earn money from blog. The market is competitive and your will have to work really hard to do something good. Only writing for the blog does not give you the desired traffic. You will have to work in social media and keep yourself updated about the new updates and events.
I mainly write for my technology tips and tricks related blog. I have more than 1500 posts and after doing research in Google analytic, I have found only 10-15 articles are driving organic traffic to my blog. The rest are driving really small amount of organic traffic. I was frustrated. But I read one of your post and started interlinking all my posts so that I can hold the visitor in my site and decrease the bounce rate.
The main source of income from my blog are Google Adsense, Direct advertising from various sources, publishing reviews about product. Now I really want to jump in Affiliate marketing. I have tried this before but did not give good effort behind this. But this time I am determined and really going to give a try. I am going to try something out of the box. I know this is not going to be an easy task but if I really want to make a difference in Blogging this is the only option left.
Thanks for all your tips about Affiliate marketing that you share in your blog.
Hey Himadri,
Thank you sharing your experience with us. Affiliate Marketing is a great way to earn money.Add affiliate links in the articles which drive maximum organic traffic.
Thanks Harsh. I am planning to do so. Thanks again.
