April 2017 Monthly Income Report – $5730.00

Welcome to my monthly income reports. Each month I will be completely transparent with you guys about the money that I am making with my online business. I do this not to boast, but to show you that it is possible to make real money with hard work and dedication.

Multiple Streams Of Income

One of the key things to making money online is having multiple streams of income. As you will see in this report, I have, on a good month 5-9 streams of revenue. Try to find various sources of income that are different enough that if something catastrophic happens to say YouTube or another way you are making money you will be ok financially.

DO NOT count on one stream of income to be the only way you make money online.

What Happened In April 2017

After a few months of not doing my income reports, I am back at it! I had some personal stuff come up that slowed me down, BUT never fear I am ready to get rocking and rolling again. These income reports are a great way for me to look back and see what I have done in the past, and areas I can improve. April was an interesting month for sure. The biggest thing that happened was the “YouTube Adpocalypse” as most creators are calling it. I’m not going to get into it here, BUT if you are interested in what’s going on with YouTube and some of their advertisers, you can watch this great video by Darral Eves explaining it:

Other than that, it was a successful month with a TON of new things going on. 🙂

January 2017 Monthly Income Report – $5421.00

January 2017 Monthly Income Report – $5421.00

Welcome to my monthly income reports. Each month I will be completely transparent with you guys about the money that I am making with my online business. I do this not to boast, but to show you that it is possible to make real money with hard work and dedication.

A new year is upon us, as well as another income report. I am so excited to continue to grow this blog and podcast and continuing to help you guys grow your brands as well. Let’s just get straight to the point, January for me and what I do is somewhat slow. I expected a lower month (income-wise) and it was. One of the main reasons for this is that YouTube revenue slows down dramatically because the companies have just blown all of their ad budget during the holiday season. This year however, I saw the best January I have ever had on YouTube!

Multiple Streams Of Income

One of the key things to making money online is having multiple streams of income. As you will see in this report, I have, on a good month 5-9 streams of revenue. Try to find various sources of income that are different enough that if something catastrophic happens to say YouTube or another way you are making money you will be ok financially.

DO NOT count on one stream of income to be the only way you make money online.

What Happened In January 2016

In January, I have been doing a lot of behind the scenes work on projects that are going to launch later in the year. I also have been working on growing my videography/DJ business as well and that has taken a lot of time from my online business BUT in a good way. My partner and I already have 3 weddings lined up for 2017 and a few more we are working on.

I also am ready to reveal that my family and I have plunged into the e-commerce world! We opened a women’s boutique called Johnnie Dove Boutique. This business was named after my grandmother who has run a successful brick and mortar store for over 40 years in a small GA town! We have been working on this for a little over a year but just recently really started pushing the brand. If you know or have a special lady in your life you might want to check it out 🙂 I am primarily assisting with the internet portion of things, and learning everything I can about the Shopify platform!

Overall, it was a very successful month for me and my business and I am so excited for what the new year is going to bring!

December 2016 Monthly Income Report – $6,864.00

December 2016 Monthly Income Report – $6,864.00

Welcome to my monthly income reports. Each month I will be completely transparent with you guys about the money that I am making with my online business. I do this not to boast, but to show you that it is possible to make real money with hard work and dedication.

I am going to be honest with you guys, this month I didn’t create much “new” content, BUT the beauty of what I am building is that a lot of it is passive income. (Meaning that I can still make money while I am doing other things). This has always been my long-term goal as an entrepreneur, to be able to create multiple revenue streams that are always working for me even when I am SLEEPING 🙂

Being a father of a 2-year old who’s birthday is on CHRISTMAS DAY, I had a lot going on this month and spent more money on toys than I ever thought I would have. My wife is a teacher and was off for a couple of weeks and it was great to take some time off and spend with them.

As a YouTuber and content creator, the last few months are generally when you will receive the most Ad revenue, due to all of the companies spending the rest of their marketing budget AND the fact that it’s Christmas season, and they are trying to move more product. Knowing this, it’s always important to make sure that your content is optimized to make sure you capitalize on this fact.
