June 2025: Monthly Recap 📈

Hello, my friend!

Popping into your inbox with my usual monthly recap — a behind-the-scenes look at what’s been happening in my life and business lately.

I just got back from an awesome trip to Algonquin Park here in Ontario. 🇨🇦 

I spent some quality time with friends, soaked up nature, and ended June on a super relaxing note. It was also a fun way to celebrate Canada Day on July 1st — my second time joining in the celebration!

I’ve been living in Canada for almost two years now, and wow… it’s been a ride.

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July to all my readers in the U.S.! Hope you're enjoying the celebrations! 🎆

But besides having fun outdoors, some big things happened work-wise, too:

💬 I turned down a potential client I was really excited about. After considering the time versus effort, I realized the project just wasn’t the right fit. Hard decision, but I want to protect my time and energy.

📩 I’ve had 3 new leads come in, all interested in my SEO content writing + strategy services. Fingers crossed 🤞 — if things move forward, I’d love to work with all three. I feel confident I can bring real value to each one.

💼 More brands have been reaching out for sponsored placements in my website content. Since I can't say yes to everyone, I started charging a $500-$1,000 fee for featured spots — and it’s working!

💰 My site income passed USD $14,500 by the end of June! I go into all the juicy details in my Premium case study: “Income from my site in 5 months of 2025 — what’s working”

In June alone, my website brought in $2,827.07!

Let me break it all down for you... 👇

Crushing website goals 🚀

Remember how I shared my May earnings? That was $2,211.35 in total income.

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

✅ Total earnings: $2,827.07
✅ Made $750 from brand sponsorships
✅ Defined the top 4 affiliate partners that generate over 80% of all affiliate income. I’ll double down on our collaboration
✅ Started partnering with a new brand, Keywordly, a keyword research and content creation tool

Even though income from the website isn’t always steady (it goes up and down for all sorts of reasons), June turned out pretty great — I made 27.85% more than in May! 📈

So far, the site has brought in over $14,500 by the end of June. Feeling grateful for the growth! 🙌

That means I’ll soon reach my yearly goal of $20,000+ from my site, which feels pretty great!

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 June

The website revamp took almost 2 months 🙈—we ran into a bunch of technical issues that my developer had to fix one by one.

We basically rebuilt the whole thing behind the scenes to get rid of the tech problems. The site might look pretty much the same on the outside, but under the hood, it’s a whole new setup.

While helping my clients with SEO and content writing, I’ve also been heads-down working on my own site.

✅ I gave my top-performing article on AI SEO tools a full refresh to try and climb back into the top 3 for “AI SEO” and “AI SEO tools”… and it worked! I actually hit the #1 spot for both keywords. 🙌

✅ Published a deep dive on 5 Kit (Convertkit) alternatives, where I share my go-to newsletter platforms. This one ranks #7 for “Convertkit alternatives.” Just like the Mailchimp post (that made $500 in sponsorships in 2 months), it’s built to earn affiliate income, and I’ve got a good feeling it’ll deliver. 👀📈

✅ Just gave my AI marketing tools article a full update! It’s been live since February 2025, but I recently learned from a few competitors that this keyword can bring in solid affiliate commissions. 👀

So, I went all in and shared my real experience with different tools.

For a while, it wasn’t doing much... but now it’s ranking #4 for “AI marketing tools” and finally bringing in leads and commissions 💸

Additionally, I’ve published two guest posts, fully optimized and aligned with my website’s niche, which generated $600. You can learn more about my SEO writing approach in my SEO ebook.

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

You can see my Q2-Q3 content calendar below. I’m a bit behind my schedule, though, but I’ll try to catch up.
