June 2017 Income Report
THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. MEANING I RECEIVE COMMISSIONS FOR PURCHASES MADE THROUGH THOSE LINKS, AT NO COST TO YOU. PLEASE READ MY DISCLOSURE FOR MORE INFO.
This June 2017 Income Report marks my fifth income report on the blog. This is all the income I earned in June, I may not have actually been paid yet for this work (actually I’m still waiting to be paid from some work in May). This also does not factor in taxes or expenses.
How I Earn My Income
I primarily earn money through freelance writing, affiliate marketing, driving for Lyft, and a few other hustles here and there.
If you want to get started freelance writing, I highly recommend Gina Horkey’s 30 Days or Less to Freelance Writing Success. I helped me go from novice to full-time freelance writer.
I’m still working to build my affiliate marketing income, but I do only share tools and resources I have used myself and find helpful. If you want to get started with affiliate marketing, I’d recommend Michelle of Making Sense of Cent’s Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing Course.
Wanting to get started on Lyft? You can read my post on becoming a Lyft driver.

Wrapping Up
That is it for my June 2017 Income Report. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know. Now to tackle July with a goal of doubling my income from June.
Liz I love that you include an income report on your blog and break down what you earned where. I’m currently going through a divorce, and I’m unemployed. I have some finances in place while I look for work, but I’ve only ever been good at writing. That’s where I’m at now. I’m working on building a career in freelance writing. I’m taking Gina’s course and taking the steps to do what I love. You’re income reports are refreshing, because they provide realistic numbers. I feel hope when I see them.
I also enjoy the rest of your blog as well. See you on your next post. Until then.
Thanks so much! Gina’s course is amazing. Good luck with your freelance writing, if there is anything I can do to help just let me know 🙂
Hey Magen,
I’m currently going through a divorce too. Although I’m not unemployed it has definitely thrown a curve ball in how I’m attacking my debt and saving money. Take things in stride and one day at a time.
