Welcome to the month of June! And guess what…shit is about to get real around here 🙂 June was my last month at my normal day job which I started almost 8 years ago. I came straight from University and started working for one of the largest corporations in the world. I learned so much over these years, was given amazing opportunities and also paid good money. But now is the time to start a new chapter. A chapter that will be bumpy but also a lot of fun. From now on I’m flying solo and will be pursuing all sorts of opportunities in online marketing!

May 2017 Monthly Income Report

May was a little bit of a crazy month. I finally received the payout of my insane sale on the US marketplace. Someone purchased my design 115 times and the strange thing about it, was that it’s really just a blue circle. Believe it or not….someone paid $9.50 (just for the design) for a blue circle. How crazy is that? 😉

April 2017 Monthly Income Report

I am so massively behind on my income reports, so I’m just going to churn these out with very little commentary. But I do expect things to get much better from now on. April was a month that was dominated by lots of hard work on our big new project ThreadBasket. You’ll notice that my UpWork fees has shot up since March and that is partially due to that project, however not entirely. Check out the report and let met know if you have any questions.

March 2017 Monthly Income Report
Follow me on Twitter here.
March was an exciting month because I finally kicked off a number of projects, which required all sorts of prep work but also some heavy investments. Most of the projects are still in the research phase, but they are also eating up cash while I have people set up prototypes for me.
The most exciting project right now is probably ThreadBasket, which will eventually become a private marketplace for t-shirt designs. Promoters who do not have the time or the skills to design shirts, will able to purchase them on ThreadBasket at an affordable price, without having to deal with freelancers directly.

February 2017 Monthly Income Report

Alrighty, so Q1 2017 is all about simplification for me. These income reports for example, as much as they may be valuable to you, they cost me a lot of time and work to prepare them. The whole process is cumbersome, complicated and the level of detail I provide is killing me while doing in.
That’s why I’m going to cut them shorter. Less details on currencies and taxes, less overall text. I will still be giving a recap, but I don’t be talking all too much about my future plans. I’d rather write a different blog post on that. I hope you’re happy with the slightly new format. It will definitely help me in publishing these income reports on a more regular basis and not so SUPER late in the month 😉
January 2017 Monthly Income Report

Apologies for the very late update again. I am currently still on holiday and was focusing on a lot of other projects, therefore this fell a little bit behind. But in terms of business performance, January was all about seeing what the impacts would be of some of the major changes I made around New Year’s.
But let’s not waste any time and just get right down to it.

December 2016 Monthly Income Report
Follow me on Twitter here.
Alrighty my friends! Christmas season is over and as you can imagine, a big chunk of revenue was flushed into the accounts during the most lucrative time of the year. That being said, I must admit that it surely wasn’t my best Christmas and I’m actually a bit disappointed. The numbers could have easily been higher and there were no particular indications that this was to be expected, other than that November was also a bit a of slow month. Don’t be fooled by the earnings you see in the table. The actual income is only paid out in January, so the bulk will show up there…like it did in January 2016.
But you know what? I have far more interesting news to report and truth be told, I’m a bit nervous. Actually, I’m super nervous. In the early days of the new year I finally made a big decision that I had been contemplating for a really long time. But before we get to that, let’s talk some numbers.
November 2016 Monthly Income Report

I’m going to make this a quick one as I have (again) failed to post my income report on time. That’s I won’t go into detail on November all that much and simply leave you with the number. December will be more thorough, I promise!
October 2016 Monthly Income Report
Follow me on Twitter here.
There goes October. Time is really flying this year. It’s the time of the year where sales usually hit their low point before everything starts picking up again just before the holidays. Usually Halloween will give you a little boost in your sales but things really only get going around mid November. It’s actually quite frustrating when you’re in the moment because you never really know if things will go as well as they did in the past. But I guess that’s just part of the business.
Anyway, you obviously want to know how my October went. Let me tell you, it wasn’t particularly good, which is a bit concerning. But check out the details for yourself.
