4th Income Report: What I earned on my 5th month of blogging

September 1, 2017 By Janice 2 Comments

I said I wanted to blow your minds off with this income report… well, I blew it alright.

I was really in a groove in July so I expected spectacular results for my August income report. Sad to say that things didn’t go according to plan.

You see, I was hoping to release my first product in August…

…but life happened (as it usually does) and it got put on the back burner (along with any hopes of getting any income to report).

I’m just going to tell you outright that I haven’t done any blog work this month. I let life distract me for a while and I don’t regret it. Why? Because honestly, I’m feeling a little burnt out from all the blog work I was doing.

I don’t want to be one of those bloggers who gets so pumped up in the beginning of their blog only to let it slowly die off when they realize how much work they’re putting in and have

nothing to show for.

I don’t want to struggle.

I mean, I know I’m going to struggle, but I want to enjoy the process.

Ok, I’ll stop talking now.

On a more important note, is there any income to report? 🙂

3rd Income Report: How I earned my first Amazon Commission!

And just like that, it’s time for another income report –my third one! My mind is so messed up right now, I’m not even sure how to begin. Don’t get me wrong, I have too many things I’m doing for the blog I can barely keep up! But I doubt if any changes would reflect…

How I Got Into The Habit Of Making The Bed Even When I’m Lazy

This is probably not the first time that you’ve been told to “make your bed already!”, but I hope this will be the last time you’ll ever have to be told. Let me start by describing how my normal day would usually go: sluggish. That’s how I felt whenever I’d start my day, and sadly,…

5 Tips To Keep Your Home Running When You’re Sick

So a lot has happened over the weekend: my daughter received her first school uniform for kindergarten, I was bitten by a centipede in the bathroom while bathing my daughter, and I got sick. I doubt that the centipede bite had anything to do with my sickness, but it did make my daughter wary of…

How to Get Rid of Ants Quickly and Naturally Without Borax

I’ve been behind my housekeeping duties. Last night, I found some ants congregating at the corner of our bathroom door, just as I was switching off the lights and put my babies to sleep. They were a small number and I thought I could wait until morning to deal with them. *slowly shakes heads* The…

Second Income Report: How I earned $18.80 blogging in June

The month of June has flown by so fast and before I knew it, I’m writing my second income report for my 3rd month of blogging. To be totally honest, I was kind of dreading to write this report because I knew I didn’t do so well. This month has been full of uncertainty, indecision,…

How to Deal With Mommy Guilt When Working

Mommy guilt has swallowed me. As I’m typing this blog post, my heart is thudding in my chest and my brain is replaying my 8-month-old baby looking at me from his grandma’s arms as I waved goodbye to him. I wasn’t really going anywhere because I am working from home and I’m lucky enough to…
