Hi, You mentioned that your RPM was around $25, but I noticed that with 23k sessions, your earnings were only $354. Isn't that lower than expected? Based on your RPM, you should be earning around $575. Is it possible that Grow/Journey Analytics calculated it differently from GA4? I might be mistaken.

Discovered your KZbin channel recently and really love your simple and easy style. No sales pitch. I got accepted to Journey Mediavine today, so super excited. Can you make a video on the process of moving from adsense or ezoic to Journey. Thanks in advance.

[@richardwparis]

I got accepted yesterday - went live today! I moved from Adsense and it was easy. I just disabled autoads and removed the Adsense script from my ads.txt file via the AdvancedAds plugin. After that the Grow plugin auto inserted their scripts and it went live within minutes.

I was waiting for this video. Thanks!

[@twinsmommycom]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BlogTechSupport]

I'm glad now those Mediavine Journey reviews are coming out. I was really interested to know if it's good or not.

[@twinsmommycom]

Yes for sure! I'm happy that the income is still going up and up!

[@SunFlowerSurfer21]

Love this! I just joined too and it hasn’t been a full month but my rpm is not great! It’s hovering around $10 so I’m hoping to get this up somehow 😅

[@twinsmommycom]

Cool! Yea your RPM will adjust over time. Mine has gone up but not sure if it will stay or not! Congrats!

[@emmacolseynicholls1]

Really interesting and thanks for sharing your process. I'm in health and fitness and so a lot of my blog posts are very writing heavy, but I have some ideas that I could maybe test out some more image heavy posts with affiliate links to see how those do. I was hoping to apply for Mediavine this year, but I lost 70% of my traffic with the recent google update so trying to claw some of that back by focusing on Pinterest. But also KZbin is one of my main income sources now, so feels a little like I'm juggling all the different things to make up for the google hit, and Medium is also now in the toilet. Will look forward to your Pinterest video.

[@twinsmommycom]

You got this! Try not to focus too much on SEO keywords and focus on what's doing well on Pinterest. That's great KZbin is your main income source, I'm working on making a good income source for me too! You're right about juggling all the things to try to gain traffic but keep your eye on Pinterest and try my Ultimate Affiliate Post Workflow masterclass to help you create Pinterest traffic to gain income!

[@emmacolseynicholls1]

@@twinsmommycom that's such a great tip. Going to work on that and will check out your affiliate workflow.

[@BlogTechSupport]

Hi Emma, what are you doing so far when it comes to EEAT? Experience, Expertise, Authority and trust. And do you also implement schema on your site? By the way, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of traffic

[@mandy81841]

So good to hear your website is doing so well despite the Google hit. Elna, can I ask does the personal development niche go well on Pinterest?

[@twinsmommycom]

Thanks so much! You know, I'll do a video on finding topics on Pinterest using a cool free tool I found!

[@wildgardenexpert]

I was waiting to hear some reviews for journey, good to hear some positive first thoughts! Would be interested to hear how this compares to your usual Adsense income. Still struggling to embed Pinterest images to a blog correctly, the layout is terrible for some reason. Still stops me creating posts in your style

[@twinsmommycom]

I do have a video on getting and using Pin images but I think my hubby has coded something for all my sites to make it work? Not sure...

[@insidermama]

Two questions: Do you know what the pay rate difference between Mediavine and Mediavine Journey are? How are you optimizing all of those image heavy posts?

[@twinsmommycom]

Not sure what the differences are but they suppose to be lower for Mediavine Journey since the entry point is lowered too. For the images, in that particular post I used Pins so I embedded them. Here's how to do that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGSaloFtZtN1e68

[@roxxxxxy]

yesterday i got invited to mediavine journey, hoping similar results

[@twinsmommycom]

Good luck! How exciting!

[@salmamaski4503]

How do people get invited?

[@twinsmommycom]

@@salmamaski4503 You have to apply first to be invited.

[@ffi5733]

Hey great video! I just got invited to journey too! Do you just embed photos from Pinterest and/or Instagram? Do you need to get permission from every individual photo owner?

[@twinsmommycom]

Yes I only embed from Pinterest and don't need permission as it's hosted on Pinterest (the image on the link. I don't like take a screenshot and then attribute it. That's wrong). For IG you do need permission.
