I started sharing Income Reports with everyone on my email list in July 2016. Since I made the leap to self-employment in January 2017, I’ve started sharing income reports on here as well.
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 30 Days or Less to Freelance Writing Success. It helped me go from novice, to full-time freelance writer.
I’m still working to build my affiliate marketing income, but I only share tools and resource 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.

Best Course
Personally, I found the course, 30 Days or Less to Freelance Writing Success extremely helpful to get me started with freelance writing. It breaks down everything you need to do, step by step, so that by the time you get to pitching for jobs, you are prepared and successful. For me, the course paid for itself when I got my first freelance writing job. I now earn between $2,000 – $4,000 per month (check out my income reports) with freelance writing.
Side Hustle Alert
Driving with Lyft is a great way to earn some extra cash. I love how easy it is to just turn on an app when I feel like driving and make some money. I wrote an entire post about driving for Lyft. It includes what you can expect during the application process, what it’s like to actually drive and the many perks of driving with Lyft. Get started driving for Lyft.
