Welcome to my April Income Report! Each month I publish an income report to take you behind the scenes of my #SideHustleGoneSerious and show you exactly how much I make, how much I spend and lessons learned along the way!

Important Things That Happened in April

I had 9 active, concurrent client projects occurring in April.

We had our first camping trip of the year. I drove the camper home for the first time since we bought it 6 years ago and did a pretty good job – I didn’t take out any mailboxes, hit any curbs, and kept up speed on the freeway.

Annual Income taxes for 2017 are due here in the US, plus quarterly estimated taxes for 2018.

GDPR started to creep closer, and my community started to ask me how to technically implement GDPR on my website.

I worked 80-hour workweeks, and I worked every single weekend.

I began publishing these income reports, starting with January 2018.

I hosted 3 webinars to promote Serious Side Hustlers, Websites That Make Money and the Web Designer Academy, resulting in one awesome student joining the Web Designer Academy.

I tried to go live in each of my Facebook groups once a week.

I started using my written planner instead of making super long to-do lists in my notebook, but I was still not blocking my time.

I began napping in the afternoons from sheer exhaustion.

Notes I wrote in my planner:

• “EXHAUSTED” written across April 17 & 18.
• “Do the things that will bring in $$$ first.”
• “Do the things that will grow my list first.”
• “Every task is at least one hour.”

Review of My Goals

Again, my goal each month has been to generate $10,000 in revenue because my rough breakdown to replace my paycheck, cover business expenses and pay taxes is:

$5000 – Income to cover my paycheck. $2500 – Expenses $2500 – Taxes

What I Focused on in April

My entire focus in April was client work. Keeping all the projects moving forward and trying not to drop any balls.

That being said, here’s how much money I made in April 2018:
