How I Made $4,212 as a Full-Time Blogger Last Month

Welcome to my July blog income report where I share my earnings, expenses and current projects as a full-time blogger here at Let’s Reach Success.

I spent most of my working hours last month updating and publishing content on the blog, doing email marketing, completing my new course $1K Blogger, updating my signature program Financial Freedom Through Blogging, and learning more about branding as well as creating a vision for the new direction of my blogging business.

Let’s start with the blog revenue for last month and traffic and email list growth. Here are the numbers:

Please keep in mind that’s gross income. A lot of it goes for fees I pay to other platforms, transaction fees, paying my own taxes (close to 30% of my income), insurance and pension. You can see all income reports here.
