Welcome to my April blog income report.
I publish these reports to share the numbers (earnings and expenses) from my blogging business and the mistakes I made, the lessons I learned, and the new projects I’m working on.
You can find all income reports here.
Read on to see what happened in April 2019 on Let’s Reach Success and in my business.

I’ve been dedicating quite a lot of time to Pinterest. And in particular, how to not just grow my Pinterest account but also bring actual traffic from there to the blog.
Well, in less than a month, I got the following results:
- my Pinterest page views reached 470,000+
- a few pins went viral
- I brought thousands of new visitors to my blog
- that immediately almost doubled my income from ads on some days and I reached $1000/month in ad revenue
- my monthly blog page views reached 83,000
- I had a record day on the blog with over 4,000 page views (which I haven’t been able to reach with SEO, referrals, other social media channels or any other traffic source)
With that being said, my new goal is to reach 100,000 monthly page views on my blog. With Pinterest, it’s totally doable.
My progress is thanks to taking the decision to invest in the course Pinterest Traffic Avalanche, completing it and taking notes, purchasing Tailwind and scheduling pins daily, experimenting with Pin design, and reading strategies from other successful bloggers.
I will be sharing my results in the monthly blog income report starting today. That means there will be a new section for Pinterest Progress (below) and also one dedicated to Blog Traffic, as I’m back to focusing on this and trying to increase it.

I learned a lot about Pinterest in April 2019, both from reading about other bloggers’ results and tactics, and from my experience.
Tailwind
I’m finally using Tailwind (almost) daily. I’ve got over 1000 pins scheduled to boards.
Group Boards
I’ve applied to many group boards in the last few weeks. That didn’t lead to many responses as the owners get many of these on a daily basis and often don’t even reply.
However, it’s a must for anyone to keep applying to those and become a contributor to new ones.
I now create content for Pinterest in the following niches:
- Blogging
- Make Money Online
- Finance
- Business
- Travel
- Lifestyle
- Productivity
- Personal Development
