Howdy Shouter,
How was your month of March 2016?
For me, it was different & unexpected. I went for a 7 days spiritual retreat & was completely away from Internet, smartphone & everything. I will share the experience of the retreat on my personal blog, but for now, let’s quickly look at the March 2016 stats.
I already skipped February 2016 transparency report & don’t want to make it 2 in a row. So pardon me for keeping this short but like always there is something to learn from here. For newcomers, you might like to start with:
Few quick updates for March 2016:
- My YouTube channel crossed 10K subscribers.
- Youtube channel also crossed one million views in March.
- On 3rd-4th March, I attended Ad: tech, New Delhi
- On 12th March, I spoke at Manipal University, Jaipur about:

March 2016: Traffic stats
Here is the traffic report for our desktop & mobile site:
March Traffic report for ShoutMeLoud forum:
ShoutMeloud forum has become one great place for hanging out with bloggers. I’m learning so much from other blogger’s experience & at the same time, it’s good to help people directly. Just look at the bounce rate which is pretty amazing. What I like about our forum software (Discourse) is, it’s mobile friendly & it’s fun to do something productive on mobile. Last month, I wasted quite a lot of time playing games on my phone. Eventually, had to delete all the games & now I’m back to productivity.
Android app traffic: March 2016
To be honest, after Parse is out, I’m struggling with finding a suitable alternative for Push notifications.
In case if you know of any great alternative for Parse which works with WordPress, do suggest me one.
We are close to reaching 1.5 million page views/month & hopefully by the mid of year, we will reach there. I have also hired few regular freelancers & they are working behind the scenes to make ShoutDreams network more awesome.
Last month I released v2.1 of ShoutMeLoud affiliate marketing eBook & you can buy it from here or here.
That’s all from me, now it’s your turn to share March transparency report with us. If you have published a report on your blog, feel free to share links in the comment box.

Hi Harsh, This is a direct question to you. SO don’t ignore it. Right now we are also earning taxable income from our blog. But I am very much confuse whether I should declare this amount in my income or should I keep my mouth shut. Few people also told me that since this is online income so it is already taxed so you need not to worry about income tax and all.
What should I do, right now I am not able to find any CA who has knowledge of this type of income in my locality. So I need your advice in this case.
@Rakesh
We are liable to pay taxes on all the income coming from any source. So, yah! you need to disclose the amount & pay taxes on it. You can contact these guys for filing your tax as they are specialized in working with Bloggers & Affiliate marketers.
Great numbers.
I started blogging as of 23 April 2016. I’m looking forward to an exciting learning curve! So far I have signed up via Impact Radius for HostGator, Arvixe, MaxCDN and Bluehost affiliate Programs. Hopeful with time and effort I will start seeing few conversions.
Kudos!! Man, you are a genius. Of course, it took time but finally you made it and this day is a dream for every S/W engineer who completed their engineering and yet dreaming about entrepreneurship. Maybe I am putting my efforts in the wrong area in the wrong time hence, I am not getting any output what so ever even if it has been around 2 years I started blogging. I am getting something now and that too in hundreds. I am not sure if I should take this up to the next level but these articles from you are pumping man. This makes some people like me believe that if somebody can then I also can and it takes time. Hopefully this grows to a phone number like income Harsh! Cheers! 🙂

What is best way to monetize for newbie? Adsense or affiliate marketing? I am Thinking to start with either of them. So please Help me.
Hi Harsh,
That’s great. But I don’t see any Google ad in your site , then how you are earning from AdSense?
If you can share , please do.
It would be great if you please also check our website and suggest how to improve it.

Hi Harsh,
Congrats Bro. Transparent Earning Report and it’s motivated too for a blogger like me. Keep Going. All the best bro.
Hello harsh, you have been such a inspiration to me and started my second blog based on reviews of Movies, TV Series, Gaming and Gadgets. What is your take on this niche ? It’s still 45 posts on it and got google adsense approved within 2 months.
What are the ways to earn such numbers on this niche?
Hi Harsh!
Congratulations for your amazing blog. I’ve been coming to this blog from few months and I found it incredible, as riched with content and how-tos. I want to start a blog about women, so should I buy domain from wordpress or anyother site? As I am beginner, who have basic understanding of wordpress, I would run it personally at the start with quality posts to get it approved for Adsense.
Looking forward to read more stuff.
Thankyou.
we don’t like this new “read full article ” template. What did you people think about? we made the same comment in the forum too. i dont know if you saw it. pls harsh we don’t like the breaking of the articles. it discourages us from reading further. thanks
Hi Harsh,
Once again, you nailed it.
