What do you think, guys?
I'm just trying to to show you this glasses
because I just bought them recently and when I was in the shop,
I tried them on like that and that looked more or less OK.
Everyone looks that way in the mosque, right?
Then I came home, took off my mask and I called up.
Some people told me, I look older in this glasses, so I don't know.
Let me know in the comments. What do you think?
I'm usually wearing lenses when I do videos because I just need glasses since.
Ever since I was a child, I had to wear them.
And every year the kid just kept getting thicker and thicker, you know?
But with lenses, the problem is in a couple of hours, I get these dry eyes.
It feels like I have sand in my eyes.
So it's what a dilemma.
I don't know. Let me know if you'll still be watching my child
if I start wearing glasses or don't look like a teacher that way.
Anyway, let me know in the comments, and let's get into the content.
Now here is how much I made with two of my blogs in the last month,
and this is only my media via an ad income.
Can you see here?
This blog made a lot less with a lot more traffic.
What a mystery, isn't it?
This will be the reason for you guys to watch the rest of my video
because I will show you the exact numbers in my media mind dashboard
and explain to you
what caused this crazy difference in profitability between these two blogs
that are monetized, by the way, with the same advertising network?
And I will show you how you can make sure that your blog
makes as much money with ads as possible, even with a lower traffic volume.
Hi, I'm Anastasia of AnastasiaBlogger.com
and on this channel, I share my tips on online business.
I talk about making money online in many different ways,
including, but not limited to, blogging and Pinterest marketing.
If you want to keep watching my stuff, you know the buttons to hide, don't you?
They will be somewhere there. Now let's get back to my
ad income on these blogs that I monetize with media vine.
first of all, for those of you
who are very new to this blogging world, let me clarify.
Media Vine is a premium ad management company
and is just one of several similar companies.
But I like working with Media Vine the most, and you can blame me.
I just like it when you just start a blog.
You can hardly get into Media Vine right away.
You will need to work your way to a minimum of 50,000
monthly sessions on your blog to apply for this network.
People often ask me, What do I mean by sessions?
Are they visitors to a site?
Well, almost, but not exactly.
Sessions is a metric that Google Analytics tracks, and the number of unique, unique
visitors or page views number will be slightly different
from the number of sessions in your analytics and media.
Vine just prefers to use sessions for their own reasons.
So keep that in mind when you are checking your stats,
when you're getting closer to the minimum required traffic by media, vine
and when your traffic is very low, I wouldn't recommend running ads at all.
Even if you get your site into Google AdSense,
it's just not worth it, in my opinion, because Google AdSense typically pays
very little compared to premium ad networks.
But once you reach about 10,000 monthly sessions on your blog,
you could apply for maybe four Ezike or money metric.
But getting back to Media Vine,
there are also other requirements to get accepted to Media Vine.
A high percentage of your traffic should be coming
from the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom as well,
and some other countries in Europe that are also OK.
But generally they will want you
to have about 70% of your traffic from the United States.
That's where Pinterest's platform can really help you improve your stats.
You see, even if your blog gets a good amount of organic traffic from Google,
it will be oftentimes very mixed and you'll get quite a lot of
international traffic from other countries where people search in English.
This can drastically reduce your ad income because advertisers
are paying a lot more for showing ads on your blog to American audience.
And it's in there and also in your best interest
to get a lot more traffic from the United States
to keep your ad revenue per thousand visitors really high.
And if you want to learn how to drive more free traffic
from Pinterest to your website, then check out my free Pinterest masterclass.
I will give you a link in the top
right corner and also in the description below this video.
And if you already watch that free masterclass, then maybe you're ready
and pre-qualified to join my signature program, Pinterest.
So your traffic secrets again, I'll give you a link to it as well.
Pinterest helped me not only to grow traffic to my blog
faster than I could ever do it with Google CEO,
but it also helped me get mainly traffic from the United States
because Pinterest is mostly popular in this country.
International audience of Pinterest is also growing, but still, users from
the United States make the biggest share of the user base on this platform.
By the way, I made my first
thousand dollars with ads on my blog before the blog was one year old.
I did mention this in some of my older videos,
and I received some skeptical comments when people simply couldn't
believe it was possible to get so much traffic to my website so fast
and I could really start making over $1,000 just with ads on my blog.
Once I was accepted to media one and I totally get it,
sometimes I see income reports of people who claim to make over
200,000 monthly with blogs, and I find it hard to believe.
To be honest, I even found it unrealistic to make about 5000 with my blog
when I just started.
But eventually it went way beyond my wildest dreams
with this blogging business, so the sky's the limit.
With time and persistence, you can check
some of my previous income reports that I will link in the info I can.
And of course, ad income is not my biggest income stream now
because I've been doing this for about four years, so I diversified.
If you want to learn all about
the best monetization strategies, that works so wonderfully on my blog.
Check out my course blog away to tank,
and the link will be in the top right corner and also in the description below.
And I'm going to jump to my screen now and show you the first ad income
for my blog Anastasia WallBuilders.com in my media vine dashboard.
I started this blog in February of 2017,
and my first full month with a media line
was in January of 2018, so it was not even one year old.
And let me choose the right dates here in media mind dashboard, and you will see
that in that month, I made over 14 hundred dollars on this blog
and as I promised, I will show you all my stats
and what is going on here that makes my blog with lower traffic.
Earn more ad income than this blog that gets about twice more traffic.
So let me show you I'm going to set here
the dates from the first until the end of November. Apply.
And that's the total number for the both sites.
My newer blog, it's newer not only the date when I created it,
but also the date, obviously when it was added to Media Line first.
So this blog is newer.
It has lower traffic about two times lower traffic, but the r.p.m.
revenue per thousand of visitors is like double or I mean, it's twice.
It's twice higher than for my main blog.
I did contact media and support multiple times to try and figure out
what's going on.
They always come up with great advice on what can be improved,
and one of the reasons initially was that
my main blog had smaller font and that affected.
And I also didn't have enough space,
big enough space between the lines.
And I did correct that in the theme and I waited for another month
and I still couldn't see a huge improvement.
It still was twice lower than for my mom's health blog.
But let's have a deeper look into the analytics, and you will find
that this site's always have slightly
different performance on this ticket side.
Bar ads my ANASTASIA blogger site is really in
this zone of it's called teal when when you have the star here
for mom's health, I almost always have it very high.
But this couldn't be the main reason why it's so different.
So I had to dig even further in
when I looked at the analytics for the by countries.
I found that's why I focus so much on the traffic from the United States.
So you can see here that for the blog Anastasia Blogger,
I am getting about 67.3% of sessions from the United States.
Then the second place is Canada, United Kingdom, Germany and so on.
So you can see here the r.p.m.
for the United States was 25.9.
For Canada, it's twice lower and then all the other countries is even lower.
So you can see here that there's a huge difference between the r.p.m.
that you can get.
Fewer users are coming mostly from the United States.
If I look at the same statistics for mum's health site,
I had a machine,
I had 85% of traffic.
It's 20% more off traffic from the United States.
And even so, my traffic from the United States and from Canada
and from all of the other countries, my RPMs are much higher for mom's health.
So we were digging even more with media buying support.
And what we found it was that the difference is such
a huge difference in r.p.m.
could be also related to the fact that on my Anastasia Blogger dot com site,
a huge amount of content doesn't show any ads.
I'll tell you why.
So you know that Anastasia Billboard.com has been
always my playground for experiments with Pinterest.
And if you go to my Pinterest account, you will see that I have lots of different
topics and all of them are together
under the same brand, like under the same domain.
So I'm not super niche down with this blog.
So I have, I would say, the main category that something that
you can see on my homepage.
It's it's when I talk about blogging, about Pinterest marketing,
and that's what you will find in the category Anastasia Blogger, dot
com slash blogging and on all of this
articles in the blogging category, I'm blocking media vine ads
because it makes more sense for me to keep users on the site
and send them from from my articles to my email list,
or maybe to my Pinterest master class or to my course directly.
And that's what I do.
I have all these articles without media Vine ads.
So if you look at the definition of RPM, it's a calculation determining
how much revenue was earned per thousand page views or sessions.
So if you think about it, I get a lot more traffic on Anastasia Blogger dot com.
But a huge amount of this page use or this sessions.
They are not going to show any media Vine ads.
That means that for many thousands of this visits that I'm getting
from Google or whatever from Pinterest, I'm not showing ads,
but they're at the same time they're still counted in my sessions.
OK, so that means that without doing any change,
if I just opened the ads on this pages, it would improve my RPM hugely
because RPM is just a technical number and it comes from the session.
The amount of sessions and the revenue earned presales of those sessions.
Many of this thousands of sessions on my side have no ads at all,
and thus my RPM on Anastasia Billboard.com site is significantly lower.
I just wanted to get back to this number of sessions
because you might be wondering, so how did this happen?
If you want to see are always talking about Pinterest traffic,
how did it happen that the United States traffic on the stage of bloggers?
Com site is just six to 7% when on my other blog,
it's 85% why I am not controlling this
and why I'm not improving it on Anastasia Blogger dot com site.
So the thing is, I still get a lot of traffic from Pinterest.
But over time, this site and the stage of blogger dot com gained
some authority with Google.
And so the percentage of this Google traffic increase over the years,
and it also reflected in the distribution of countries.
So with Pinterest,
you can almost be sure that your traffic will come mostly from the United States,
whereas with Google traffic, there is much bigger
distribution across the board, across the different countries.
So it's a lot of international traffic and mostly Google CEO
is responsible for this international traffic.
Of course, I will not remove my site from Google issue and will not do anything
to hurt my positions in Google, just to improve r.p.m. on the site.
It doesn't make sense because Anastasia Blogger Dot Com is a site
that also makes me a lot of money through selling my course
through selling some kind of, you know , other kind of affiliate products.
So there are other monetization strategies I already mentioned.
I have a blog EUR.
We do ten K course,
but today I just wanted to focus on the RPMs
and comparing the income ad income for these two of my blogs
just to show you the inside or look of things that you as a beginner,
you might not even realize how the things really work.
And so I hope it was helpful.
By the way, I wanted to note here
that I'm not affiliated with media one in any way.
It's not a sponsored video media event doesn't even have an affiliate program
because I've been working with them so for so many years , and they always
proven that they have the best support and the RPMs are really over the roof.
This year, I'm seeing in the Facebook group for media,
the online publishers, people are sharing even much higher RPMs
than I'm getting, like I'm getting an average.
November, please keep in mind that November is one of the best months
in general. Last quarter of the year is usually the highest r.p.m.,
but I'm getting very high RPMs and this is not the limit.
A lot of people are getting even
higher RPMs and are super happy with their results.
This last year, so I wanted to show you more of the insider.
Look, so you know, what is the potential income that you could be getting
with your traffic once your size gets at least 250,000
monthly sessions and when you can get accepted to media by?
I hope you found this video helpful.
