Real Life Examples of Blogs Earning Real Money – From $10k per month to $100k+ per month and Over 1 Million Monthly Visitors

Well Kept Wallet

In his interview with Deacon Hayes, founder of Well Kept Wallet, Spencer of Niche Pursuits, asks Deacon about his monthly revenue which is revealed to be $100,000 per month from his blog.

The main source of revenue is affiliate income and this is easy to see if you look at articles like this one on life insurance, which clearly has the affiliate disclaimer in fine print at the top of the article (A requirement for blogs making money to disclose any relationships with websites they are linking to for monetary gain commonly referred to as affiliate disclosure):

One of the great tips Deacon reveals is that all of his articles are great content which have a high word count. He read somewhere in an old Neil Patel article or video that the top ranking websites usually have 2500 words or more in their articles and once he implemented this, his rankings and traffic started to improve so he stuck to this model.

A quick analysis of the article on life insurance on his site (https://wellkeptwallet.com/best-term-life-insurance) shows that there are 6317 words on this page (we are using Web Page Word Counter to do this analysis)

You can see that some of the insurance companies he is linking to go through a tracking URL when you click them, using different affiliate networks like Share A Sale for the “HealthyWage” offer and direct affiliate programs with insurance partners using Impact Radius’s sjv.io tracking URL.
