Welcome to September’s online income report. It’s time to look at my monthly income report and track my progress over the past month.
Background information on my monthly income reports.
This all started out as my extra income report because before October of 2013, I still had my day job. In those extra income reports, I included all of the income I made except for what I made at my day job.
In September of 2013, I turned in my notice at my day job as a financial analyst, and my last official day at that job was in October of 2013. Now, my income reports consist of the many ways I make an income each month.
I publicly post my income reports for several reasons:
The reason why I started side hustling in the first place is because I was reading other bloggers’ income reports and they had me interested and motivated in making extra money. There are several bloggers who publish income reports, and I love reading all of them. Since I love reading them, I figure others do as well.
Before I started blogging, I knew nothing about side hustling and making money online. I didn’t think side hustles were worth the time, and I thought the only way to really increase your income was through your day job through raises and promotions. If it weren’t for others publishing their monthly income reports each month, I don’t know if I would have ever attempted side hustling.
Also, I like to publish my income reports each month because it’s a way for me to look back, learn from my mistakes and see what I need to change or improve the following month. Just sitting here and typing up this month’s income report is a great way to keep track of my business goals and see where I am slacking.
I know I say this every month, but it is the truth. Life is great now that I am doing what I want to do. I look forward to each and every day and it is a wonderful thing.
It’s also been almost ONE YEAR since my last day at my day job. I will have a post going live about that within the next few days. It’s been amazing to be able to make money online from home.
Now onto my income report!
How was my online income in September?
September was my BEST INCOME MONTH YET. I was finally able to crack the $15,000 income mark.
I have been working hard, but I also have been outsourcing more so that I can enjoy life outside of work.
I hired my sister for more recurring monthly tasks in the past few months. It makes life a little easier on me, and she’s able to make money online from home all just using her laptop. I plan on giving her some more work as well and she plans on slowly increasing her workload.
One day, I would like to outsource even more. I know my time could be better spent, but I still find it hard to outsource at this point because I feel like I still have a decent amount of time on my hands.
It’s still hard for me to get out of the mindset of working a lot. For years I was working 100 hours per week with no breaks or days off, so working 50 hours a week almost makes me feel guilty and like I could be doing more.
So, my plan is to start outsourcing more of the smaller tasks that really do not need me so that I can still enjoy life and focus instead on areas in which I actually need to.
Anyway, in September of 2014 I made $16,621.63 in business income, before expenses.
This is for the month of September and before fees and expenses (most fees and expenses that lower the amount above total around $1,350, which includes VAs/staff writers for my other websites, technical assistance on my websites, PayPal fees, etc.) being taken out.
After expenses and fees, I made approximately $15,272. In the amount above, I do not include the amount I bring in to the websites I provide services to. I only include the amounts that are my actual earnings from my services.
