I love reading blog income reports from some extra successful blogs like Retired by 40 or Sarah Titus. I don’t ever expect to make that much money from blogging, but it’s kinda inspiring, don’t you think so? If they could make it, maybe I can too.. That would be my new motto.
Well, because of all that, I wanted to share with the world my income report from last December. This blog is 9 months old, and this is the first month that I actually made some money. Nothing much, but enough to make me proud.
December 2015 Blog Income Report
How much did I make?
I just have two sources of income on my blog. Those are Amazon Affiliate and Google Ads. I didn’t have any sponsored posts or reviews so far, but I know some bloggers earn enough money to support their families just by doing sponsored posts. If that is your thing, go for it! Just stay honest…
Back to my income report…
Here is what I made in December:
Amazon Affiliates: 94.99 USD
Google Ads: 8.50 USD
Total income: 103.49 USD
I know this is not much, but enough to cover blog expenses for next year.
I have found lots of inspiration and new ideas through reading income reports from other bloggers. I wanted to provide the same feeling to those of you who are reading this and have some doubts about earning money through writing. I don’t plan to earn bunch of money here, but it’s good to see that I earn some extra money by doing something that I absolutely enjoy doing.
New Goals for 2016.
1. Finally finish my ebook.
2. Continue writing income reports to inspire others.
3. Help others make money while working from home.
How was your month? Do you earn anything from your blog. I would love to hear your blog income report!
I love reading income reports for blogs, too. It’s inspiring to know you can really make it into something – and gives me a positive outlook that I can do the same.
Congrats on December making money!!! I hope you have many, many more awesome months.
Congrats on you blog income and success on all of your 2016 goals!
Glad you are making money. I am not quite there yet with Google ads or even Amazon.
I’ve thought about writing blog income reports but I wondered if anyone would even be interested (despite the fact that I love reading them).
Congratulations on a good month – and best wishes on many other successful months.
Thanks for sharing (and for linking up to the #SHINEbloghop).
Wishing you a lovely day.

That’s an impressive number for amazon affiliates! At least in my experience! 🙂 Good job!
Hi! I’m popping over from #thisishowweroll. I love reading income reports that are small – because it encourages me! I just made my first $100 from Google Adsense and got payment in January! I also did my first sponsored post and received $81. I’ve been blogging for a year this month though! I’m planning on trying to make some income with the blog, but that’s not the main reason why I blog. I have a post listing why I blog on the link up this week if you’re interested – they might be similar to the reasons you blog as well. Warmly, Angela
You are off to a great start! I have no doubt you will meet your goals and do very well! Keep plugging away!
How wonderful that you have your expenses covered for this year already. Congrats, you’re featured this week on the #ThisIsHowWeRoll Link Party on Organized 31.
Wow congratulations!! I still haven’t dug into the world of monetizing my blog, but I’ve been meaning to.
Great goals and a great income from affiliate links
Congrats! I love reading income reports they inspire me to work harder!
That is awesome! Congratulations! I love reading income reports and the ones that aren’t making tons of money sometimes inspire me more because they seem attainable to me. Thanks for sharing.
Well done! That is a good month! Thank you for being so open and transparent as well as encouraging. I appreciate you sharing this post with us at the Hearth and Soul Hop.
Congrats, Marina!
That’s a big deal, starting off so nicely! So happy for you!
