April 2025: Monthly Recap 📈

Hello, my friend!

Time for another monthly recap—can you believe how fast April flew by? 😅

Right now, I’m writing this from the Georgian seaside. 🌊☀️

We’ll be here for a whole month before heading back to Canada. Fingers crossed summer will finally show up by then! 🤞

April was a pretty wild month, so here’s a quick recap! 👇

✅ Been working super closely with beehiiv lately—and I’ve gotta say, I love both the brand and the product!
✅ My site brought in $4,465.53 in April—that’s more than double what I made in March! (April’s full affiliate report for Premium members is coming soon. )
✅ I’m officially a Semrush Ambassador now! I’m sharing more about this below.

But hey, not everything was sunshine and rainbows... 😬

❌ I’ve had a bad experience with Frase.io—they won’t let me withdraw my affiliate earnings, and their support has been really unhelpful. Just a heads up if you’re thinking of promoting them.
Update: I’ve stopped supporting/promoting Frase because they’re not interested in working together.
❌ Search Atlas (another SEO tool I actually liked) has gone quiet—their affiliate manager hasn’t replied to my emails in over a month. Not cool.

That’s the thing with working with 10+ brands—some wins, some fails. 🤷‍♀️

As a perfectionist (or at least that’s what I call myself), I have to remind myself to actually acknowledge my progress. I recommend doing the same!

If you’re putting in the work and creating something meaningful, you’re already ahead of so many people.

💡 Now, let’s dive into the full recap—it’s packed with insights!

Crushing website goals 🚀

Remember how I shared my March earnings? That was $2,094.10, just from affiliate marketing! 💰

P.S. If you’re a Premium member, you can check out the March affiliate marketing report here. You must be logged in with your email address to read it.

But for now, here’s a quick update on how April went.

✅ Total earnings: $4,465.53
✅ Made $2,765.82 from just one product
✅ In the process of partnering with a new brand —Writesonic

I’ve also made $200 from sponsorships —a nice little bonus! 🎉

Overall, my website income has doubled compared to March, which tells me I’m doing something right with SEO and monetization.

One more big update! 🚀

Below, you can see my chart from Google Search Console with organic traffic stats for the past three months.

This upward trend in traffic and impressions is an impact of my SEO content strategy that I’ve been implementing since the beginning of 2025. 📈💪 

In short, I’ve been focusing on money-making keywords with decent search traffic potential and low/medium competition level.

These are the keywords my website can realistically rank for and achieve top positions in organic search results. If you are curious to learn more about my approach to SEO, I share it in detail in my SEO ebook.

What I worked on in April

Besides helping my clients with SEO and content writing, I’ve also been busy creating high-quality content for my website.

✅ Revamped my SEO content writing services page to align it with user search intent and improve the rankings. It ranks on the 3rd search result page at this moment and requires more work to climb higher in the search results.

✅ Published a blog post reviewing Mailchimp alternatives, and it’s already ranking #6 for “Mailchimp alternatives free.” This is a pretty juicy keyword for affiliate marketing, and it’s already bringing in leads and sales — all within a month! 💸🔥

✅ Also published a deep dive on 5 Ahrefs alternatives, where I share my go-to SEO tools. This one’s also ranking #6 for “best Ahrefs alternatives.” Just like the Mailchimp post, it’s built to earn affiliate income — and I’ve got a good feeling it’ll deliver. I’ll keep you posted! 👀📈

I’m on a mission to hit $20,000 in affiliate income from my site by the end of 2025 (spoiler: I’ve already made almost $10,000 by May 🎉). I’m sticking to my SEO quarterly content plan, which you can see below. 👇

As always, every piece I publish helps me move closer to my business goals.
