Welcome to my latest income report! I’m Nick, a professional side hustler, husband, and father of three. When I’m not spending time with my family, I manage a portfolio of 8 blogs, 8 YouTube channels, and 12 digital programs (with 3 more in the works). I also recently launched a TikTok shop.
I’ve built multiple six-figure online businesses through affiliate marketing, display ads, selling digital products, freelancing, and coaching. I used to love reading income reports from other bloggers—they were incredibly motivating. So, I decided to turn on the camera and share my own numbers with you.
While I have about 16 income streams in total, there are 14 that consistently make me money. I don’t make money on all of them every single day, but they all contribute to my monthly revenue. For the streams that didn’t generate income yesterday, I’ve taken the monthly average and broken it down into a daily total.
Let’s dive into the numbers and see exactly how I made $603 in a single day.
The Breakdown: How I Made $603 Yesterday
My ultimate goal for the end of the year is to hit $1,000 per day. Here is exactly where my income is coming from right now and the strategies I’m using to grow each stream.
1. Blog #1 (Health & Wellness Niche): $379
This is currently my best income source. It’s a blog in the health, weight loss, and recipe niche, and almost all of the traffic comes from Pinterest. Over the last eight years, I’ve made over $500,000 just from selling digital products on this site.
While I still sell some products, the majority of this income now comes from Google AdSense revenue. Yesterday was actually a bit of a slow day at $379, considering I made $410 the day before (Saturday). Sundays are typically my best days for display ads.
2. Blogs #2 & #3 (Google AdSense): $40
I made a combined $40 from two of my other blogs yesterday ($29 from one and $11 from the other).
The top earner here is a site I started about four months ago. I initially applied for Raptive but was declined, so I went straight to AdSense. I’ve been approved for about two weeks, and the RPMs are already better than Journey (the ad network I was previously using for my third site). Because the RPMs were so poor on Journey, I moved that third site over to AdSense just a couple of days ago.
My goal is to get these sites to $50+ per day by the end of next week, and eventually scale them to $200-$300 per day combined by the end of the year.
3. Freelance Work: $167
I currently make about $5,000 a month doing freelance work, which breaks down to roughly $167 per day.
I was able to secure these high-paying freelance gigs directly through the experience I gained building my own online ventures. When you grow your own websites and blogs, you develop skills that allow you to become a consultant, strategist, or content creator for others.
4. Software Affiliate Program: $11
I promote a software program for general contractors. While I didn’t make any direct sales yesterday, I average about $350 a month from this program, which comes out to roughly $11 a day. My goal is to scale this to $1,000 a month by the end of the year.
5. ClickFunnels Affiliate Program: $10
I’ve been a ClickFunnels affiliate for years. I used to make around $3,000 a month with this program, but as the market shifted and ClickFunnels 2.0 launched, that number dropped. I currently make about $350 a month ($10/day). I’m slowly starting to promote ClickFunnels 2.0 and hope to grow this stream again soon.

6. Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP): $5
I turn most of my digital products into books and sell them on Amazon KDP. Sales have slowed down recently—I only sold three last month—but it still brings in a few hundred dollars a month, averaging out to about $5 a day. I plan to revamp my promotion strategy for these using YouTube.
7. Amazon Associates: $1
This is a stream I’m actively working to grow. Right now, it brings in peanuts—maybe $200-$250 in a good month—so I’m counting it as $1 a day for now.
However, I’m starting a new Pinterest strategy next month. I’ve noticed people having a lot of success sending Pinterest traffic to Amazon Idea Lists. My wife and I are creating Idea Lists for our interior design and DIY brand, and I’m committing to posting 2-3 Amazon Associate pins per day on a fresh Pinterest account to test this out.
8. TikTok Shop: $1
You typically need 1,000 followers to sell on TikTok Shop. I had a video go semi-viral, hit the threshold, and got accepted. I’ve been promoting products I normally buy on Amazon.
Right now, if you have under 5,000 followers, you can only promote five videos a week, which makes it tough to gain traction. I made $10 in the last seven days and about $30 over the last month, so I’m counting this as $1 a day. My next goal is to hit 5,000 followers to unlock more promotional capabilities.
9. Digital Products (ClickFunnels): $0
I use ClickFunnels to build landing pages, collect emails, and sell my digital programs. I have two new courses I’m working on:
- 100M Pinterest Method: Teaching how to scale Pinterest traffic to generate hundreds of dollars a day.
- 100K Blogger: A guide to becoming a six-figure blogger.
I just launched the first one last week, so I haven’t made any sales yet. I also sell a $47 product and some $21 products, but sales have been slow, so I’m counting this as $0 for yesterday.
10. YouTube Ad Revenue: $0
I currently have one monetized YouTube channel, am close to monetizing a second, and hope to have a third monetized within three months. Right now, the ad revenue is literally pennies (maybe 25 cents a day), so I’m not even counting it. The real goal with YouTube is to drive traffic to my course sales.
Total Daily Income: $603
Between all of these sources, I brought in $603 yesterday.
I’m well on my way to my goal of $1,000 a day by the end of the year. To get there, I’m focusing heavily on scaling my course sales, which can dramatically increase my daily average.
I also plan to move my other two blogs to Mediavine by the end of the year to take advantage of their higher RPMs. On April 1st, I’m starting a brand new site from scratch, and I’ll be documenting the entire process—from setting up WordPress and installing plugins to driving Pinterest traffic and monetizing with display ads.
I’m also pushing hard on YouTube (aiming for 30 videos a month across certain channels) and working to grow my TikTok following.
I hope you found this income report motivating! If you have any questions or want to share your own side hustles, let me know. Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you in the next update.
