Financial Independence Podcast

Making Sense of Cents - Michelle


Listen Later

On board today is Michelle from Making Sense of Cents. Michelle

reached financial independence through her online businesses and has enjoyed living a variety of interesting lifestyles post FI, including, but not limited to van life.

Now, Michelle and her family even live part-time on a sailboat, and get to travel the world via the seven seas, which is pretty bloody cool.

Michelle used to work as a financial analyst and documented her journey towards FI through her blog, Making Sense of Cents, which she started in 2011, so her first series of blogs was about
paying off nearly $40k worth of student loans in just half a year, which is a pretty mind-boggling accomplishment in itself.

Michelle went on to write tips and insights about

personal finance, budgeting, and how she was able to make more money which helped her to pay down these debts so quickly, and then she was able to turn this cash firehose into building her wealth.

Her blog became incredibly popular, and fast forward to today, Michelle's website has reached over 20 million readers, regularly goes out to over 300, 000 subscribers and has earned her a tidy USD $5 million in revenue!

Michelle has actually meticulously documented this income showing the various income streams through areas such as advertising, sponsored posts, affiliate marketing and selling her own digital products and courses.

It's pretty awesome. And it's a transparency that you

don't often see online.

Jump on board, I learned a lot from Michelle!
