May Traffic and Income Report – $24,946.00

Food blog income report collage.

Hey there friends!

Bjork here, checking in for the monthly traffic and income report on Pinch of Yum.

We started doing these reports over three years ago when we were making less than $30/month from this blog. At that time, food blogging for us (mostly Lindsay) was purely a hobby, but we wanted to know if it was possible to actually monetize a food blog. These income reports were created to document that progress.

Usually, in our monthly income reports, Lindsay and I write a bunch of stuff about the things we learned or did or studied in the previous month. But after drafting and re-drafting and talking this post over several times, we decided that this month we’re going to change it up.

We’re not going to write about anything this month.

At least, not in the way that we normally do.

For this month’s report, we’re going to host a Q&A in the comments!

Here’s how it’ll work:

You can ask a question in the comment section below. The questions can be about anything – blogging, business, work/life balance, our dog Sage, Pinch of Yum, Food Blogger Pro, the dark chocolate coconut bites that Lindsay won’t stop making, etc, etc…

In 48 hours, we’ll close the comments. Make sure you get your questions in as soon as possible!

Lindsay and I will take the next few days to answer each of the questions thoroughly in an effort to provide you, our readers, with information that is, we hope, both valuable and super relevant.

It’s as simple as that. I’m excited to hear what questions you have!

Update 5/19 at 8:53 am: please limit to one “big” question – this will enable us to give better responses to each commenter!

Before we dive into Q&A, here are the numbers…
