Detailed Look at Quarterly Blog Income Report – Q4 2020

If you’ve been reading our blog, you know how much we love numbers and since we ourselves enjoy reading about others’ blog income, we thought we would share our blog income on a quarterly basis.

Since we are still a modest blog, our numbers won’t blow your mind but you might be interested to see that there is still a bit of income trickling in that requires little effort to maintain once they have been properly set up. And you might also appreciate seeing how much progress we have made overtime.  

Don’t be fooled though! Living off a blog requires a LOT of work that includes:

  • publishing quality content on a regular basis (consistency is your friend) 
  • promoting your content (and your identity) on other platforms that will help amplify your story (ie. guest posts, podcast interviews…). 
  • building a newsletter to get your 1000 True Fans (a concept Kevin Kelly talk about in his book: 1000 True Fans: Simple Idea to Earn A Living Doing What You Love.)

This is why you should first and foremost blog about things you are passionate about before thinking about how to monetize your content.

In this article, we explain how we monetize our blog, what works, what doesn’t, and how much we made in the last quarter of 2020 (which covers the period from 10/1/2020 to 12/31/2020). Are you ready to dive in?

In this article we share 10 surprising things you may not know about Taiwan.

In this article, I will be going over the book from Greg McKeown that I read in March 2020. I discuss what the book is about, what is my take away from it, and the specific action items I implemented in 2020 after reading it.
