2 Years Online – Thank You.

Well PassiveCanadianIncome.ca has officially been online for 2 years now. And I would like to thank all of you my viewers, guests and even online friends. I can honestly say that creating the website 2 years ago was one of the best things I have done in a while. I really enjoy the community and believe it has made me better as a investor, and has opened my eyes up to the brands out there as well as all the passive income options that are right there in front of us. Before the website I can honestly say I didn’t pay much attention to it.

I created the site at the beginning of February in 2017. I had no clue how to setup a website or if anyone would even come by to see what I’m saying. The only thing I knew at the time was that I was learning about stocks and investing from a bunch of online bloggers. Shout out to Roadmap2Retire, Divhut, MillionDollarJourney. These 3 were the original Og’s. I still follow them to this day.

They showed me that anyone can bring in a solid income from dividend investing and when you see others doing it, It gets a lot easier. (Like previous races when people thought they could never beat the land speed record and then someone beat it, and then it got beat and beat again by different people. All the sudden people knew they could do it)

Of course these days I check out a lot more bloggers and chat with a bunch of them over twitter and other social media plat’s. But twitter is the place to be for me.

Going Online

Anyways I started the blog to start journaling our journey and become part of the community shooting ideas off each other easier. If I could help educate someone along the way, man that’s a huge bonus! (I now know the site does as I get a bunch of questions and comments from people coming to the site) If you ever want to contact me, go here to email me. I’ll do my best to answer you and remember there are no dumb questions, we all start somewhere

Things have gotten a little bigger than I expected and I got to say, I love it. But its all of you who keep me going, wanting to be better, and keeping me committed to my goals. Seriously! I actually just answered a email from a follower who was in the law field and wanted to help me get a will done, after reading that I didn’t do it last month. You can’t make this stuff up.

You All Rock!

I’ve seen a bunch of bloggers come and go in the last 2 years but I’m happy to say I recently switched hosts over to SiteGround (affliate). It costs a little more, but definitely improves the speed of site and renewed the website address for a couple more years. I’m in this for a while longer, for sure! Maybe moving the site over is my best way to say thanks to you all at the moment.

I know some site’s show some stats and breakdown’s. I’ll throw down a couple here, but I’d like to state that the site will surpass the 100,000 views mark this month. It’s currently 99,107. Just awesome, this is all time though. I’m not even close to that monthly! Maybe one day, as you will see I think time online is a important factor.

Stats

Here is a chart of my All-time Views until yesterday. I’d like to point out my first year I used to do 2 posts a week and it really started to burn me out, so I stopped at the end of November. The views actually increased when I went to 1 post a week. I’m sure my writing got a little better but it was a big shock at the time.

As you can see views doubled or tripled in the 2nd year blogging and I think this may be the year I see 10k a month traffic. If you are a new writer or blogger I really urge you to keep going. As long as you really enjoy it but are discouraged by lack of traffic, it will come.

I’m sure there is some of you thinking wow that’s a lot of traffic, while some may be surprised its so low. While I am now on most social media platforms, I really only go on Twitter and Facebook and don’t spam the site. Pinterest and Instagram tend to be more work and really don’t feel like natural platforms to me. I know there are a bunch of you out there that do very well on the two though!

I have written 160 posts since the site was created. We can see they tend to get longer and longer. Dunno whats up with that. Guess I’m starting to spit fire.

Almost everything has been going up but those total likes. Arg! lol. Hit that like button……. haha

The site has had 2,685 comments. Half of those are most likely mine as I do my best to respond to everyone.

Earnings

The site has made a couple bucks over the years. Nothing to retire early on, but enough to pay for the site and maybe get a couple dividend stocks.

Adsense – $300.24 At the start this was really slow, but its starting to come in a little faster these days.

Amazon Affiliate – 84.56 Start The Car!

This is nothing to really get excited about, maybe I need to work on my Instagram account and show a little skin, promote a couple products. Maybe the next fyre festival……….

Conclusion

Well that’s a breakdown of my first 2 years online. Slow and steady it continues to grow. While its not making a tonne it is improving me overall and that should be more important. I recommend everyone to have a website, there is surely something you can write about or journal. Thanks again to all of you for your continued support.

Here’s to another 2 years!

Cheers.
