Two weeks ago I wrote about Stockholm and South Dakota. Unfortunately neither post has received many search impressions yet. The top pages by search impressions remain the same as before: Angler SF (89), Dig This (27), and SF Bay Area gardens (16).
I didn’t publish any new blog posts these past two weeks, but I did keep up with Instagram with more South Dakota content. Despite the lack of progress here, I made $6 on Viator and $1 from ads!
Content
- Created IG post for Badlands, Wind Cave, and Devil’s Tower and shared to FB.

Final Thoughts
Reaching $20 in total revenue was a nice milestone. It’s still nowhere near enough to cover costs, but it’s encouraging to see that readers are clicking on my affiliate links and booking tours.
The detailed itinerary format doesn’t seem to be enough to compensate for topics that are too broad. I’ll try focusing on more niche topics and specific experiences in future posts.
Next week I’ll be in New Mexico, so check back in two weeks for more travel content!

Wait how did viator end up paying you $6? Would love to know more how this partnership works 🙂
Someone clicked on my affiliate link and booked something within 30 days. I get 8% commission of their booking value.
