Have you ever felt like you were sleep walking? February was a weird month for me and it was freaking cold. Seriously, it was the coldest it had been in the past 3 years. I just stayed inside like a hermit and thought way too deeply about…things. Fortunately, it’s now March as I write this and I’m PUMPED UP for this year. Don’t judge, it only took me two months to get excited about 2019 LOL!
*In order for me to support my blogging activities, I may receive monetary compensation or other types of remuneration for my endorsement, recommendation, testimonial and/or link to any products or services from this blog. Please read my disclosure here.*
February Blog Income Report-$387.06
My primary area of focus is growing my blogs’ passive income. It has become a lot easier to do because I now know the logic behind it and I have affiliates that I am obsessed with and enjoy sharing.
You will find that my reports only share the following details:
- Passive Income-Books, affiliate sales, courses
- Sponsored content-blog and podcast
- Income related to Money on the Mountain-The bulk of this income will hit during the end of summer (sadly LOL) but, that’s not unusual with events.
- Income that I’ve actually received
- A line item showing what has been earned, but will pay out in the future.
What my reports currently don’t include
- Incomplete payouts
- Freelance writing
- Side-Hustles
I do this because if I include these other earnings I think it will distract me from my main goal-growing my blog income.
- $112.06-December Autumn Stone Romance book sales. My sales TANKED from November-January. It was painful. But, I was in good company because a number of authors reported the same issue. They are now rebounding nicely and I’m excited to see what happens moving forward.
- $275–Money on the Mountain-Scholarship funds. I’m so thankful to Kassandra Dassent for sponsoring an attendee. It really made my day and I appreciate her so much! I’ve received scholarships for events and they’ve made a huge difference in my life. You can get more details about Money on the Mountain below.
Non-Cash Earnings
- $20 HelloFresh-I love to order one box a month from Hello Fresh. It’s so good and saves me time because I don’t have to go to the grocery store. Want to try out Hello Fresh? For a limited time get $40 towards your first order when you sign up with my affiliate link.
With Pending Earnings-$595.66
- $208.60–Autumn Stone Romance Book Sales in February that will payout at the end of April. The reason why I show this is to show the difference that pending earnings can make in a blog income report. I did earn the income…it’s just not in my account yet. I’m was excited to see the book sales rebounding in February and March sales are already outpacing February.

Thinking About Starting a Blog?
I love blogging! It has been an incredible experience, transformed my life, and connected me with a ton of amazing people. Blogging is a pretty cheap activity and I recommend hosting your blog with Siteground. Many bloggers have begun leaving HostGator and BlueHost and moving to Siteground. Myself included! Read why I’m leaving HostGator and BlueHost (I have 2 blogs one on each hosting platform) and moving to Siteground. If you’re a new blogger Sitegroundwill cost around $3.95 a month (depending on the size of your audience). They have great customer service and tutorials on how to host your new WordPress blog on Siteground. Check out the following guide by Elite Blog Academy on how to set up your blog.
Online Business Resources
If you’re thinking about starting an online business, the resources below are a great way to get started.
- The Ultimate List of FinCon Community Products
- Courses
- Books
- Swag
- Make Money with Ebooks–There is more than one way to make money with your writing skills. I’ve created this course to help inspire, educate, and support writers who are sitting on a book idea…and are afraid to write it. This is YOUR year.Make Money with Ebooks is offered at three different tiers to meet different student needs.
- Self-Study
- Group Program-Includes access to the closed Facebook Group and twice a month live office hours.
- VIP Program-Includes access to the closed Facebook Group, twice a month live office hours, and 2 meetings with Michelle to work on book related strategies, goals, etc.
- $10KVA–Are you curious about becoming a Virtual Assistant as a side-hustle or a potential full-time gig? My friend Kayla Sloan is killing it as a Virtual Assistant and schooling other entrepreneurs in how to become a VA that earns on average $10KVA. This course is what I recommend as the first part of creating a virtual assistant business.
- Making Sense of Affiliate Income-If you’re looking to make affiliate income with your blog, Michelle Schroeder-Gardner’s course is the course that I recommend. She makes well over a $1 Million a year blogging and the biggest chunk of her income comes from affiliate marketing.
- IMark Interactive–Grayson Bell helps me with all of my website related tech issues and he is THE go to guy for WordPress related tech in the several different blogging niches (all the Personal Finance peeps work with him).
- Elite Blog Academy-Many bloggers have gone through this course and I consider this course the “Granddaddy” of all blogging courses. It’s not cheap, but in additional to getting all of the resources that are key to building an incredible blog, you’re also become a part of an insanely supportive (and huge) community of bloggers. Many of whom are making crazy money.
