September 2015 – ShoutMeLoud Transparency Report

Howdy Shouter,

How are you doing? This is the time of the month when I publish income & traffic report that reflects ShoutMeLoud transparent culture & give new ideas to you about things that are working. If you are new here, you should read this guide to understand why I publish income & traffic report every month.

Here you can check out the complete archive of blogging income reports that I have been publishing from last six years. Yah! It’s been that long. So before we get started with this, I believe you wanted to know about what happened in our epic All India road trip (ShoutMeet).

ShoutMeet: A big change in my blogging career

When I thought of ShoutMeet, it was just an idea to connect with bloggers in various cities. To understand & more important build a stronger community of bloggers & ShoutMeLoud readers. I was not expecting such great response & let me be honest; I’m overwhelmed with the kind of attention ShoutMeet received in every state of India. The kind of enthusiasm all blogger had for this meet & more important all of them were very happy to connect with fellow bloggers from the city.

I met more than 400 bloggers in this trip & learned many things about building community. As Srikanth mentioned in his earlier article, Travel changes you & I guess you can count me as living proof of it does.

What’s coming next is going to be great & for now, you need to hold your breath & keep a close eye on what’s happening around ShoutMeLoud blogging community.

Thanks to the premium brand that collaborated with us:

ShoutMeet was complete not for profit event, but I reached out to few brand that I know of & many of them gladly sponsored one thing or another to encourage the blogging community. Here are some of the brands:

  • Airtel: They sponsored their 4G Wi-Fi dongle & throughout the trip, we were connected with the internet. At times, I also blogged while traveling & you can see a few posts at ShoutMeet.com
  • Hostgator India: Hostgator India team sponsored 20 hosting accounts that costed about INR 80,000 & I believe hosting is the first roadblock for any new blogger. I’m sure these 20 hosting accounts would change the life of few of them in the coming months.
  • SocialPilot: SocialPilot is a social media automation tool like BufferApp & is pretty popular. They sponsored their popular premium plan for six months & we gave away a total of 50 licenses.
  • Magazine3: Magazine3 is a popular WordPress premium theme company based in Hyderabad & they sponsored about 30 premium theme license & every license is worth $59. You can do the math!

I also gave you a couple of copies of ShoutMeLoud Affiliate marketing eBook that is getting ravishing reviews from the readers. I have shared a review video by a buyer at the end of this transparency report.

Thanks to our host:

Needless to say, this drive wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing host in all the cities & various states. Thanks to Hemant Beniwal, Jaydip, Rahul Banker, Pranay,  Amit Kumar, Shakthi, Pradeep, Nirmala, Abhishek Daga, Mohammed Kaludi, Ahmed Kaludi & Shiwangi.

Overall, ShoutMeet gave me a new perspective towards blogging & how people in various states are inclined towards blogging. I will share these details in the new future as there is a lot to talk about it, for now, I could say

ShoutMeet was a huge success & an initiative I would love to continue doing in coming time.

For now, let’s look at our last month traffic report & it would be good to know if publishing less new articles can drive same traffic or not. We published only 15 articles in the month of September (Usually we publish one article a day), so it’s 50% less than our regular publishing schedule.

I’m eagerly waiting for the day when ShoutMeLoud will hit the 1 million page views without including mobile app & forum. Compare to last month report, this month we received 85K more page-views.

Mobile app traffic & something new:

As I said earlier that mobile app is going to be future for all big brands & content marketers. God knows, how great that would be in near future, for now it’s good to have the latest mobile app SEO feature for our app.

In the above screenshot, you can see the mobile app traffic report for last month. Due to some technical glitch, our push notifications didn’t work as it was supposed to, and you could see the effect in the overall mobile app traffic.

Now it’s your turn to let me know how was your last month traffic & income report. What all the new things you tried which worked for you. Share your learning & experiences with all of us in the comment section below.

    nice work done bro

  4. Restlesselement

    Currently am working with snatchbig but my salary there is not too big.Am just speechless that you are earning so much without a big team working there . I recently purchased a domain and hosting but was lazy till now but after reading this post will start work on my website as soon as possible.Thanks for inspiration.

    Nice Harsh,

    Do you work alone from Home/office and having all those writers and VA remote? Or do you have any full time employees? Just curious to know.

    1. Harsh Agrawal

      @Barry
      I have one full-time employee @sharatnik. Rest I have all WFh & VA team. One of our development team is in Nagakoil (South India). And regular writers are from all around the world.

      1. Barry

        Thanks for the reply Harsh.

        I am glad to know that. So you worked from home?

        I am asking this again because I am into a dilemma whether to setup an office or work from home. I have my all team as VA and working from remote locations around the world. 🙂

        In home I feel much comfortable and I can take nap anytime and work in my comfort zone. I am not sure how I will feel if I setup an office and go there.

        One more big issue is that people don’t consider your work as serious if you are working from home. Like some friend can come over any time and it can lag your work. have you have faced such problem?

    1. Harsh Agrawal

      @Sam
      Best of luck for your blog. I would suggest if you can pick a better domain name. Hack is seen as negative word & might not be good in longer run. Especially when your blog has nothing to do with hacking.

      1. Sam

        Good advice, you just don’t answer to please readers of your blog. But your suggestions are practical even if OP may not like your advice of changing his domain name. I liked your transparency.

        Good work Harsh,

    2. AppSquadz

      Hi Deepa,
      You are right, definitely its an article with rich content and it has such a useful information.

  10. Darshan Gajara

    Earning more than Rs. 6 lakh passively, certainly determines the kind of efforts you’ve put on to build Shout Me Loud. Great going Harsh.

  11. Ankit

    I’m visiting your blog like after 3 years, Harsh and it’s like complete 360 degree change has happened. We started blogging together I guess, I used to think there’s no scope in this field and this was the reason I left and deleted my old blogs, but after seeing you, I regret my decision. I am coming back.. Let’s hope for the best. I may not be able to make money like (I never did) but still you never know where fate takes you. Anyway congratulations!

  12. Ravi

    Amazing Harsh….I think you are one among very few bloggers in India, who reached this stage. I can’t help but thinking about the kind of consistent efforts you must have put in, over the last few years, as there are no short cuts to this achievement.

    Keep up the good work!

  13. zai

  16. Lilesh Jadav

    Hey ,Harsh Where Is The Adsence Ads On Shoutmeloud ??

    1. Harsh Agrawal

      There is none…I use AdSense on other blogs in my network. Ex: ShoutMeTech.com

  17. Harmandeep Singh

    Hi Harsh, I am new as a blogger, I had bought your affiliate marketing eBook, thanks for that. I want some tips from the Experts like and some of your blogs really help me for this.
    thanks for sharing.

  18. Prasanta

    Impressive earning Harsh.
    I am looking at your traffic report — it shown mostly are new visitors (77%), where I have mostly returning visitors. I want to ask you one question what are main sources for new visitors in your site? Is these mostly from google search or there are other way?
    I wish next month onward you will get 1 million page views.

  19. Santosh Das

    That’s pretty impressive. It needs lots of experience and real hardwork. I know people who create blogs, post some copied garbage and keep dreaming about money.

  20. Corey Taylor

    Love your transparancy! You really motivate people and show them making money through blogging is possible. Thank you for sharing your income numbers but most of all, thank you for the motivation!
