It’s been a while since I’ve posted a blog income report. There’s been a lot going on over here. For one, I got married two weeks ago! I’ve been planning the wedding for over 2 years and it finally has come and gone. Can’t wait to share more about that. But honestly, my blog was put on the back burner from April-June! My best friend got married in April, my bachelorette party/bridal shower was in May, and June was my actual wedding. Now that the wedding is finished, I can get back to regularly scheduled programming. I’m looking forward to sharing these income reports again and I hope you find these helpful or interesting!

Why Share Blog Income Reports?

1. Growth Tracking & Review – income reports will help me keep track of my expenses and actually force me to review T&T’s progress on a month-to-month basis. It’s so important to look at numbers and data, but sometimes that is a task that gets put on the backburner. This information will help me pivot my growth strategy and cut expenses when needed.
2. Transparency – being transparent about the numbers will help our readers understand how we make money and what we spend money on. I hope this will help take the mystery out of how to make money as a content creator.
3. Inspiration – sharing these numbers will hopefully inspire others to start charging for their content creation.

June 2022 Notes/Takeaways

Alright! I’m feeling good about this month’s income report. Cutting expenses has been really important to me, especially since I just spent a lot of money on a wedding this month.

1. One expense I’m cutting for July is my PR manager. I’ve decided to pause her services for now and see if I can manage handling deals myself to cut costs. She is amazing and I may hire her back closer to the holiday season.
2. I’m so grateful that brand deals have been consistent each month! The $7,000 we made was from 2 deals, both with long-term partners aka my favorite clients to work with.
3. My next big expense will be camera equipment. It’s time for an upgrade. Especially since my autofocus feature just broke on my nifty fifty lense. When I hit 15,000 followers on Instagram, I’m going to treat myself to new gear.
