Side Hustle Income Report

2018 Side Hustle Income Report Month 9

I've been really hesitant to do this update! You all know why. I did email Merch after my termination and gave them all the facts without any of the sob and they still decided to keep my account terminated. So this will be my income report without that income. I'm still selling shirts on Etsy but it's clearly not the same. Meanwhile, I'm working on another website. Instead of designing T-shirts that serve no purpose in the great scheme of things (except to pad my bank account) I want to design helpful things that align with my passion: helping people…

2018 Side Hustle Income Report Month 8

This month was a month of really hard lessons learned and they're causing me to rethink my whole online business strategy. First: My Merch by Amazon account has been terminated. Last night I had 8 shirts taken down for copyright infringement. Amazon is super strict about copyrights. I've had designs taken down that were original designs but were deemed too close to another design or some trolls get "report to Amazon" happy. I don't object because my strategy has always been lay low and fly under the radar. But I'm guessing those take-downs caught up to me because by the…

Hello there! How's your summer going? I'm tired. I maxed out in June. Like, couldn't take on any more. I've always been good at saying no and knowing my limits but with the addition of the RV renovation, I am beat. So we're slowing down on the RV. What I thought would take 2 months will take 3 if we're lucky. As long as I can get it listed by September I'll be happy. Summer is always slower for online businesses so it's a good time for us to work on the RV and plan for the fall. Back to…

April was such a big month! The Frugal Friends Podcast launched and I did very little else except perpare for it. It's been so fun though. We're wherever you listen to podcasts but 70% of our listeners are on Apple devices so here's the link to us on Apple Podcasts. We're talking about saving money and so much frugal stuff. :) After we became debt free we didn't know what to do with our money. We'd developed frugal habits, worked well as a team, and built some income streams we didn't necessarily want to stop just because we could. So…

It's that time of the month again. The time where I take inventory of what we're making outside our 9-5 income to get us closer to our goals. After we became debt free we didn't know what to do with our money. We'd developed frugal habits, worked well as a team, and built some income streams we didn't necessarily want to stop just because we could. So we channeled those assets to the goal of financial independence. We have the Choose FI podcast and community to thank for that. It showed me ways we could optimize our life to get…

Doing these has proven to be good for me. I'm sufficiently organized but I'm realizing with all the different things I do I can allow stuff to fall through the cracks. That's a lesson worth learning, organized people should be constantly looking to do things that make organizing easier. You can see January's Side Hustle Income Report here. Also, I only include income that's deposited into my account so sometimes it's from stuff I did a while ago but none of it is speculative. If you want more ideas on making money at home you can grab the list of…

Well, I have a little announcement, I got a new job! Earlier this year I accepted a full-time writing position at The Penny Hoarder. I started last week and I'm loving it so far. Since I'll be doing more writing at my day job I'll be trying some new things on the blog including this side hustle income report! Even though we're done paying off $78,000 of debt, we haven't abandoned the side hustles that helped us get there. All the time we spent saving money by not going out or taking vacations, we filled with side hustling. I think…
