I started this blog in 2015 as a new years resolution – and I am just as surprised that this has carried on. I cannot believe it has been a whole 6 years! This blog has survived through GCSE’s, A-Levels, Degree and now a full-time job. Before sharing my stats, I do want to disclose that my blogging income is based on part-time blogging (it is not my job), and the fact that I only started focusing on professionalising in August. In addition to this, we all know how tough 2020 has been, especially with outreach companies, so I have taken an expected hit in terms of profits made. So let’s get into it!
*At no point am I trying to brag or put down others, undeniably with blogging – hard work equals to the majority of the reward. My sole focus is not to make money, it is to push myself at creating content my readers will love*

Next Year’s Targets
Every year I usually set targets to follow and obey, but this year has gone so well, I guess the key is to keep doing what I am doing. Yes, my blogging income is not as high as I would have liked, but 2020 has been a tough year and I did take 4 months out. Considering I have only been putting in the hours for 5 months, it is beyond paying off. The hardest challenge – cleaning up 5 years of non SEO’d posts! Hopefully, with this sorted, a consistent blogging income will come. Here’s to another year!
I have also released my first e-book – I would appreciate it if you checked it out! It is all about blogging burnout, and how to achieve more by doing less! Check it out!
