I know I’ve been writing these blogging income reports for several months now, but it’s really only just starting to sink in that I earn enough from blogging to live off of. For a long time, one of my goals was to earn more than I did at my first job out of college, and […]
May’s income is mostly based on what I earned in March, and March was a weird month. The amount I earned from my blog started picking up again in some ways but dropping in others. Amazon made some big changes, which I’ll talk about more below, and it had a big effect on my blogging […]
My blogging income for April was lower than March’s income, but still pretty good. Since April’s money was for February traffic, it doesn’t come as a surprise that it was a bit lower.

Making money online was never a lifelong goal of mine. I mean, the first company I worked for after college still used a fax machine on a regular basis. Earning money from the comfort of my own home, or from a beachfront cafe in Thailand, wasn’t on my radar back then. But that all changed […]
Making money from blogging isn’t something I ever saw as a realistic goal. I knew some people did it, but I didn’t want to get my hopes up. Tons of bloggers make money from things outside their blog, so that seemed like the way to go. When I finished taking my German course a few […]
