Income Reports: November

It hasn't been a great month for generally building new business, as I've been caught up with focusing on the family a bit more.

Thankfully I had already scheduled a few posts to be posted to my newish blog. But I need to restock in coming weeks.

The one strategy that has paid off is my dividend approach. That worked out well. The rest needs to be properly rethought and restructured for 2020.

Anyway, this has been my month.

Resume Writing: $0. I turned down work on this front. Maybe I'll have to revisit this more in 2020. The passive income streams are taking time so it might make sense to reinvigorate the more active income opportunities.

Additional Writing: $0.  Nope. Same as above.

Stock Dividends: $4,140.  A fairly spectacular month for me on the dividend front. This continues to tick along. It's an investment strategy that works. It does require putting money to work in the stock market and targeting stocks that pay dividends. You've also got to be comfortable with having your capital tied up for a while, in addition to the fact that not every month will see a dividend. But, for me, it works.

Interest: $22. It ticks along but is never going to move the dial.

Ebooks: $2. Still quiet at the moment. Amazon isn't working right now, though sold one on Kobo. I might need to market a bit harder (Beginner's Guide to Online Side Hustles, Cryptocurrency Job Hunting for Non-Techies, The Simple Guide to a Winning LinkedIn Profile and Craft a Winning Resume).

Coaching: $0. No sessions.

Other: $0. Nothing to add here.

Total: $4,164. Well, that's spectacularly distorted by my dividends. A great strategy that works. I'm not likely to make much in December so I'm already thinking forward to 2020. Time to find more balance.

Income Report: October

Most of my focus has been to work on my new site (financejobshunt.com). It's still early days but I like the way it's starting to shape up. I just need to get focused on SEO as traffic is currently minimal. But I've signed up for a course on Udemy and that should raise the bar on all things backlinks and the like).

Beyond that, I've focused a lot on my investment portfolio and how I can better build passive income streams. Dividends are the obvious one but I've also looking to be more efficient with my money management - i.e. stop leaking money and start putting more savings into higher interest-bearing accounts.

It was an expensive month overall but I still feel on top of my progress, slow as it tends to be.

In the meantime, this has been my month.

Resume Writing: $134. I rationed myself to a bit of work. If I'm able to make more time for myself, I may start to do a bit more. It's important to keep my hand in

Additional Writing: $0.  Nope. This has completely dried up. It's fine for now.

Stock Dividends: $520.  This was a decent month for me. As previously mentioned, this is a time-honored investment strategy that works. Dividends aren't paid out every month but it's nice when they are. I then reinvest.

Interest: $30. It ticks along but is never going to move the dial.

Ebooks: $3. Still quiet. But still a portfolio (Beginner's Guide to Online Side Hustles, Cryptocurrency Job Hunting for Non-Techies, The Simple Guide to a Winning LinkedIn Profile and Craft a Winning Resume).

Coaching: $0. No sessions.

Other: $0. Nothing

Total: $689. Ths dividends made the month. I haven't yet kicked on, as this is pretty much a normal month for extra pocket money. But I'm fully aware that this is a slow and steady game.
