True independence in life is achieved when you are earning make money auto on-pilot.

Money is not everything, but it’s quintessential to get on with your day-to-day life activity. Six years back, when I started blogging, I never knew that blogging could be one such profession that can give financial independence.

On an average, I earn about $7000/month from my blogs, and this was the first time in the last 6 years, from 1st December 2014 to 28th December 2014 ( almost one month) that I was away from blogging and any online work.

I was busy with some personal events, and I comprehended that this is a good time to evaluate if an idle blog could make money auto for me.

Most of the profession/business I know of requires your presence in one form or another.

In most of the jobs, you can take leave for a limited number of days but after that it’s always unpaid leave.

Full-time blogging is same as a business and one month of blogging vacation gave me enough data to evaluate blogging in the terms of making money and make money auto on auto-pilot.

Do consider the fact that this blog  (Shout Me Loud) is a six year old blog with a community of more than half a million users.

In this article, I will share about how much make money auto I earned in December 2014 without any work and how it affected the blog traffic. I will also share my observations and learning in the appropriate section below.

Traffic effect on the blog after one month of inactivity:

I stopped working on Shout Me Loud from 30th November, 2014, and I was getting decent traffic back then due to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. What I was really interested to see, how traffic will go down after the Cyber-Monday, as there will typically be no action ( including no comment moderation) on the blog.

Note: 83% of Shout Me Loud content is evergreen content.

Here is the traffic chart from last month (1st December till the date):

Here is the breakage on the Weekly Traffic:

• Week 1: 138,478 views
• Week 2: 133,035 views
• Week 3: 129,781 views
• Week 4: 123,322 views

As you can notice, traffic decreased over time but it was not as high as I expected. On 29th December, I published this post, and traffic again went back to normal.

The major reason for the change in traffic was the loss in social media and returning visitors traffic.

Overall, one thing that is clear now is that traffic drop will not be so high for an inactive blog with evergreen content.

Now, let’s look at the income report for December 2014.

Blog income report after one month of inactivity:

Unlike my other income report, here I’m reporting how much total sales, ad revenue I generated into my account in the month of December. The final figure may change, and I will get an exact report in the month of March 2015 (When I will be paid for all affiliate sales).

The majority of Shout Me Loud revenue comes from Affiliate Sales , Direct advertisement and a chunk is from Google AdSense or other ad networks revenue. Here is what my December income looks like:

• Affiliate income: 5822.30
• ShareAsale: $109
• WP Social Pro : $15.72
• Webhosting affiliate Programs: $314
• Aweber affiliate program: $59.40
• TweetAdder Affiliate Program: $197
• Elegant Themes Affiliate Program: $19.50
• SwiftTheme Affiliate program: $46.01
• Direct ads: $1450
• Viglink: $20
• AdSense: $550

In Indian currency, that’s about five lack 43 thousand. I ignored a few other small affiliate transactions in the above report.

This month I missed out mostly on services such as Blog consultancy, WordPress SEO service, and a few more due to my inactivity. If I have to compare this income with other businesses, I’m satisfied with the income my blog generated without being active.

There is no denying that income will drop if I keep the blog inactive for a couple of months. Overall, taking one-month complete break hardly affected the blog revenue (October income report was $7788).

For me, this data is valuable as I feel it would encourage you and others to jump into blogging and take it as a serious career options.

•  How to Generate Automatic Income and Make Money Auto Effortlessly

  In today’s fast-paced world, generating automatic income is a smart way to build financial stability and achieve financial freedom. Auto income, or passive income, allows you to earn money continuously with minimal effort after an initial investment of time, money, or resources. There are several proven ways to create automatic income streams that can help you build wealth over time.

  One of the most popular methods is investing in dividend-paying stocks or real estate. Stocks that offer regular dividends provide a steady income while your investment grows in value. Similarly, rental properties generate passive income by providing monthly rent payments while also appreciating in price. Another excellent way to make automatic income is by creating and selling digital products, such as e-books, courses, or print-on-demand merchandise. Once developed, these products can be sold repeatedly with little to no ongoing effort.

  Affiliate marketing is another powerful way to generate passive income. By promoting products or services through blogs, social media, or YouTube, you can earn commissions for every sale made through your referral links. Additionally, setting up an online business with automated systems—such as drop shipping or subscription-based services—can create a consistent revenue stream.

  For those who prefer a hands-off approach, investing in bonds, peer-to-peer lending, or high-yield savings accounts can provide steady returns without daily involvement. The key to successful auto income is diversification—combining multiple income sources to reduce risk and maximize earnings.

  By implementing the right strategies and staying patient, you can build a strong auto-income system that generates money for years to come. Whether through investments, online businesses, or creative ventures, automatic income is a powerful way to achieve financial independence and enjoy a worry-free future.
