Welcome to October’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 (yes, it’s now been one year since I quit!). In those extra income reports, I included all of the income I made except for what I earned at my day job.
In September of 2013, I turned in my notice and my last official day at that job was in October of 2013. Now, my income reports consist of the many different ways I earn an income.
Many have asked why I would ever want to publicly post my income each month. I publish these monthly income reports for two main reasons:
- 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. I want to help others see the positives in side hustling and how it can change your life.
- I also 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 on. My monthly income posts are a great way for me to look back and keep track of everything. It’s also entertaining to go back to older income posts and read about the funny things I did to make extra money. Everyone’s got to start somewhere, right?
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 work day and it is a wonderful thing. I love what I do so much that it is often hard to break me away from working. That is something I would have never felt at my old day job.
October was also a great month because I won a fun giveaway. I didn’t include the giveaway amount in October’s monthly income since it is not related to my business. I am extremely grateful for the winning though and it has motivated me to start entering more giveaways. Are you a giveaway fanatic? I would love to hear what the best thing is that you’ve ever won!
Now onto my income report!
How was my online income in October?
October was yet another great month. It wasn’t as great as September, but I’m definitely not complaining.
I have several plans in store for future months and I don’t think I’ve been this excited about my business. I’ve always been excited, but right now I am EXTREMELY EXCITED. I’m hoping these plans and excitement will turn into successful projects, and an income as well.
I’m really trying to spend more time working on affiliate income, as I would like to have more of my income each month be passive. That way I can focus on other things that may take longer to build up (such as an ebook) but still be able to bring in an income and save for my financial goals.
Anyway, last month I made $15,245.81 in business income, before expenses.
This is for the month of October and before fees and expenses (most fees and expenses that lower the amount above total around $1,110, 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 $14,136. 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.
