The following content is sponsored by Lyft. All opinions are my own.

Here on Making Sense of Cents, I talk a lot about how to make extra income, side hustles, side income, and how to make money online a decent amount.

I believe that earning extra income can completely change your life in a positive way. A person can stop living paycheck to paycheck, they can pay off their debt, and more all by earning extra money.

If you are looking to make some extra money, then driving with Lyft may be a great option for you. This may help you to pay off your debt, save money for whatever financial goal you have, have some extra cash for the holidays, and more!

If you haven’t already heard of Lyft, the ridesharing app that matches drivers with passengers requesting rides, it’s an easy way to earn money — and be your own boss.

Welcome to September 2017's business income report where I show you how I made money online last month. It's time to look at this month's update and see how I did.

Here's how this blogger made over $100,000 just in one month blogging. Check out her blogging income report and learn how to start a blog today! If you're new to Making Sense of Cents, you may be wondering why I would want to publish my income report each month. You can simply skip to the next section if you're not new here.

This all started out as my extra income report because in the beginning, it was all about the money I was earning from my side jobs. In my side income reports from the beginning, I included all of the income I made except for what I made at my day job.

However, I left my day job as a financial analyst in October of 2013 and now my monthly income reports consist of the many ways I earn a living.

Many have asked why I would ever want to publicly post my income each month. Some think I'm crazy, whereas some are glad I'm open about what I'm doing. Whatever you think, I enjoy publishing my monthly online income reports and I share them publicly for three main reasons: [Read more…]

How I Grew My Blog from $0 to $17,000 per Month in a Year as a Stay at Home Mom

Michelle's quick note: Hello! I have a great article by Suzi Whitford. She is a blogger who has grown from $0 to $17,000 per month! Today, she's going to show you exactly how she accomplished this in just one year.

This blogger grew her website from $0 to $17,000 per month, in just one year. Here's exactly how she accomplished this. I used to dress up nicely, put on makeup and go to a quiet office filled with adults to work. It was nice, for a while. My college sweetheart and I got married right out of college and started working as Industrial Engineers for large corporations. But I always knew I wanted to stay at home when I started having kids.

After a few years in the corporate life, I became pregnant and after the birth of our first daughter, I started my life as a stay at home mom. I loved it. The first year was wonderful. And then we became pregnant again when my first born was 11 months old. Our family was growing quickly and our financial were needs too.

Deep down inside I missed the adult interaction I had in my corporate life and I desperately wanted to help contribute to the family finances again. Motherhood was wonderful, but I knew that with two little ones we’d have to tighten our belts more; unless I found something that I could do from home. Additionally, my confidence was dwindling as I spent all day changing diapers, cleaning the home and growing another baby. I desperately needed an outlet.

I started on a journey which I had no idea would lead to making over $17,000 per month! [Read more…]

My Complete List of Monthly Expenses for a Multi Million Dollar Blog

In all of my monthly blogging income reports, I share not only my income but also my monthly expenses. I usually don't dive too far into my business expenses, as they don’t vary much month to month.

I earn over $100,000 a month through my blogging business, as you can read from my monthly blogging income reports. Here's a detailed report of my expenses. But, today, I am going to go deeper into my monthly business expenses so that you can see exactly what it takes to run my blog each month.

Now to run a successful blogging or online business, your expenses may be different than mine. And, you definitely don't need to spend a lot of money with a new blog – I certainly wasn’t in the beginning.

I created Making Sense of Cents six years ago, and since then, I have earned over $1,500,000 with my blog and around $979,000 in just 2016 alone.

When I first started my blog, I spent almost NOTHING on blogging expenses. In fact, I probably went a few years where I was only spending about 1%-2% of my revenues on blogging expenses.

The funny thing is that I created my blog on a whim after reading about a personal finance website in a magazine. At first, it was just a hobby to track my own personal finance progress. And, when I started in 2011, not only did I spend very little on my blogging expenses, I honestly didn’t even know that people could make money blogging! [Read more…]
