Along with the above bills, I even have pre-paid bills that I’ve already paid for yearly. The explanation I converted to annual plans in comparison with month-to-month plans is due to the financial savings. Pre-paying with an annual plan can save some huge cash!

I’d suggest doing this in the event you really feel assured about your buy. I really feel assured about many of the instruments I’m utilizing, but it surely took me over two years to really feel like this with sure corporations!

Except for beginning my weblog and choosing a theme, I had only a few if any bills for nearly my first 12 months of running a blog. I believe I spent round $100 for my first 12 months of running a blog!

As my revenue grew, I used to be in a position to put money into extra instruments (all those talked about above) separately.

Lastly, this doesn’t embrace issues like medical insurance or taxes. I used to be placing 30% apart every month. I’ve adjusted that quantity to between 30-35% shifting ahead to account for further bills and to place extra in my enterprise financial savings account.

In my first full 12 months of running a blog in 2016, I undoubtedly was in hustle mode. I felt like on the first of each month, my revenue was at zero {dollars} and I needed to begin another time. This result in loads of stress and nervousness!

On the finish of 2016, my weblog made slightly over $90,000 in a single 12 months. Per thirty days, this totaled round $7,583.00. Over time, my common month-to-month revenue has elevated. At this time my common is within the 5 figures per 30 days.

As a substitute of specializing in what I wanted to perform at first of every month, I deliberate out my 12 months as a substitute.

Then every quarter, I’m going again by my plans and ensure they nonetheless line up with what I wish to accomplish. This helps me keep on observe in addition to be versatile to pivot if one thing modifications.

This made complete sense as a result of as a lot of you realize, I like to plan and love my planner! I repeatedly examine in on my revenue and loss for the 12 months (I exploit Quickbooks to do that) and get a really feel for a way my weblog and enterprise is performing.
