Here it is… my September 2016 Blog Income Report!
So friends…I missed out on Day 9 yesterday and I’m struggling to finish Day 10 of the Write 31 Days Challenge. I’ve had a splitting migraine since yesterday that just won’t quit. It’s finally dulled enough for me to get out of bed (I was there til 3pm today) but gosh… it’s awful.
I know this income report is late this month and I don’t have it in me to do any fancy charts or analysis this month. I’ll try to catch up next month on that! My income has stayed steady and there was even a tiny improvement in traffic for September!
Scroll to the bottom for links to my previous months’ income. Why am I sharing? Well, several months ago, over on Rose Bakes, I wrote a post about how to make money blogging (specifically with a food blog, but most of my info would apply to any blog). Then back in January, I wrote a post on how I made almost $37,000 blogging in 2015. Both of those posts got a lot of attention.
In addition to that, I’m always talking about finances with someone. I love to talk about budgeting, saving, making money online, paying off debt, blogging, etc. And ya’ll… when I say I love it, I mean I love it. I get as excited about that stuff as I do about cake. Haha!
Yes, I am a nerd. (I absolutely love math! ? )
Anyway, since my previous posts about blogging and money and income have been popular and I absolutely love reading other blogger’s income reports, I figured I’d jump on that bandwagon and start sharing my income reports. My hope is to inspire, encourage and help other bloggers increase their income… or help someone else jumpstart a blog so they can start earning online as well!
I also hope that seeing these reports will keep me motivated, inspired and driven to see ways to improve and grow my blog and income.
And maybe… just maybe, I’ll start blogging about all the other money related stuff that I love too… like how to budget, how to stay out of debt, how to plan for emergencies, etc. What do you think?
Okay, so without further delay… here is it is:

How do you track your incomes for your yearly tax filing? Do these places send you tax documents or withhold anything?
I track it all in accounting software. Some of them send me tax documents, others do not. It depends on how much I earn with each company.
