I am on track for $100k this year. I recently published my October income report (my 2nd biggest month yet with my blog @ $10,300+). I updated the 2018 year running tally and I’m at over $83k. If I make an average of $8500 per month, in the next 2 months, I hit $100k. I made $83k in the last financial year (July 17 – June 18). And I have done that same money in 10 months, instead of 12. That’s about normal for me. About 10-20% organic consistent growth. And because I know you will be wondering HOW I make that type of money: 60% memberships 20% digital products (eBooks, eCourses) 10% ad revenue 8% affiliate 2% coaching + sponsorship That is with my main blog – Angel Foods – getting 80k page views per month and 18k email subscribers. My goal for 2018. ... View Post

I wonder because I (we) have an easy life that THAT is ... well, uninspiring. Because BEFORE everything was harder. It was hard. We went through some tough times. I don't even want to list them or give words to them. I don't want to give energy to the thing or time or attention. I don't want to remember or re-think of them. They are the past and long gone. Yet a part of my story. A part of my make up. A part of my personality and who I am today. I drew on those experiences, plus the intense or strong feelings for writing. Nowadays we don't have those experiences - well, the negative ones. Nowadays we have a positive mindset and a simple life. That is the ''worst'' of our life. It is simple. A simpler life. An easier life. No stress. Easy. So easy. I never ... View Post

For September 2018 I earned $8896.27 in gross sales from my blog and online business. While I had a weeks holiday AND school holidays.   I just got back from a week-long holiday to my hometown Proserpine, in the Whitsunday's (north Queensland, Australia). As our first family holiday (ever), driving 13 hours there and back, in a 7 day period, with a kid and dog and a limited budget we had .... well, no expectations. (I don't want to say low expectations, but we certainly didn't have high ones! To be fair, that is more my mindset, that I can't be disappointed if I didn't have hope.) And honestly, it was a 9/10 trip, for us. We like stuff simple, and quiet, and not the lavious 5-star luxury type of people. We visited all the family, swam in pool & lagoon, walked the ...

For August 2018 I earned $7,422.16 in gross sales from my blog and online business. I have been ''blogging'' for 7 years, but to be fair my first blog was a ''failure''. It wasn't until I upgraded my website to a self-hosted WordPress (dot org) website and got a new theme in 2014 that I knew what I was supposed to do with it. That is when I published 2-3 times per week for 12 months. Yep, a year. I was growing my email list at the same time as SEO'ing my blog posts. Later I learned about Pinterest strategy. (I share my Pinterest steps here). Nowadays, I do similar. I publish about once per week. I SEO the blog post and share on Pinterest and email out to email subscribers. THAT, over and over again is exactly how I turned this ''hobby'' into an income. THAT, is how I ... View Post
