Welcome to the last 2014 blog income and stats recap of MMYW! December was again spent living a mostly offline life, I kept building my house and organizing my guest house for Airbnb guests, planning my trip to Europe, and traveling to Cancún, Mexico to catch my flight to Spain. Hello from Madrid! Hope you all had a great holiday. Anyway, I am back to posting now, although still haven’t had one of my crazy let’s-write-20-posts-in-a-day creative flows, I am back on the horse and that is something.
Check previous income and stats recaps:
November income $2,697 + 10% of Savvy Scot’s purchase price
December income $4,625 + 45% of Savvy Scot’s purchase price
January Income $3,290 + 45% of Savvy Scot’s purchase price
Expenses
VA and staff writing $350. I gave the VA a Christmas bonus so that’s why it was more expensive this month. She did a great job through the year, and has been looking for more hours, so if you need one let me know
EXPENSES TOTAL $350. I had a few plans to invest in my sites but no time to do so, so the projects are postponed at the moment. I am also keeping some $$ to maybe buy a new site.
Income
RFI
$2,847 I think it has been a while since RFI had such a decent month, so yay! Airbnb has been working pretty good in December due to lots of people going on holidays I guess.
MMYW
$1,500. Nice and round. Slight increase from November but not back to October levels.
SAVVY SCOT
$2,180. Down $1,500 from November, but considering all the reps went on holidays around mid December, no complains here.
TOTAL $6,527. $8 less than last month haha, that was a great month once again, especially since everyone stopped working the last 10 days. I had expected it so I wrote to a few repeat customers to offer them a discount, as I was hoping to get more money for my charity project, since January is back to school month and I need to buy some uniforms. Anyway that brought the little extra to make it a good month.
My goal was to make $60,000 blogging this year, I am closing at $70,423!! I have averaged $5,868 over the past 12 months, and met my goal in November! Which also means over $7,000 donated to charity (see below) which I am really happy about.
After Costs Total
$6,177 happy dance!
10% of blogging income will go to sponsor young girls’ education in my village. I have spent most of my money as per the last update, left only with $300-ish so it is awesome to have $617 to add to the pot. THANK YOU for helping keep this site what it is and contributing to its monthly income!

Not yet, I have pulled back quite a bit, so maybe just keeping it at $70k will be a stretch!
