Since having this new website from July 15th, I’ve been searching and reading lots of posts, articles, and other materials about managing and running a blog. I also read posts by some successful bloggers who published their blog income reports. I found that I’m really interested in these income reports, and I will usually go through every single word of this kind of post. It feels just as interesting and exciting as watching those behind-the-scene videos. And I feel so motivated every time when I read others’ blog income report.
So even though this blog is just getting started and the numbers are not really encouraging (yet!), I still want to share my blog income report as well as the monthly updates. I hope that this could help those who are like me to satisfy their curiosity, maybe someday become someone else’s motivation, or just purely be read as a behind-the-scenes story.
