Cannot believe March is already gone and spring is here! But I won’t complain 😉
Every month I put together a traffic and income report for Because I’m Cheap. It helps me stay transparent for my readers (I’m just an average girl hustling) while also helping me keep on track and keep working. If you’d like to see other months, you can see the directory here.
Income
$30 sponsored posts
$31.40 iBotta
$9 Freelancing
$166.60 Affiliates Programs
**I have several companies that owe me, I’ll account for them in a report once I’m paid. Plus you’ll notice there’s no free products for reviewing this month. I scaled way back :)**
Total = $237.00
Expenses
Canva For Work $12.95
Tailwind $14.99
Hootsuite Pro $9.31 (this was a mistake, will be cancelling it)
Total = $37.25 (prior month $68.44) *I hope to lower this some more by learning to use Photoshop & canceling HootSuite*

Things I did differently
In March I began working on collaborations. You might have noticed a few guest posts, that’s just one of the things I’ve been doing. I’ve also been working on some behind-the-scenes type stuff too. Like learning via eCourses. Hopefully these new learned skills will continue to manifest.
