I have a goal of reaching 500 RSS subscribers by September 30th. Will you help me make it happen?
Back in November I set a goal to double my regular monthly income in six months. I was regularly bringing in $5000 every month so my goal was to reach $10,000.
I declared myself a ‘Hungry Woman of Internet Marketing’. I delved into a new niche and created a few new income streams. To put it in a few words: I worked my behind off!
I was so excited to see May come to an end so that I could measure my results. I pulled reports as fast as I could and crunched the numbers and….I fell short of my goal.
But – I have to tell you, I still had a grin on my face because I came pretty darned close!
My May total income is $9,074.13
That is an 82% increase in income in just six months and I’m super proud of the achievement. I did fall short of my goal, but in no way can I be bummed out about it.
May wasn’t just a high point, I’ve seen my income increase steadily over the six months. The income sources I’ve developed are solid and I have every reason to expect consistent numbers in the months to come.
In the interest of being totally realistic, yes – this is a gross income number. I have expenses (around 25%) to pay out of this income. These are payments to my assistants, project partners, affiliates, business tools, etc. I didn’t ‘make’ $9000+ for myself – but I did certainly boost my personal income significantly.
There it is. That’s my report. Thanks for your encouragement over the last six months.
What’s next? Well, I’m not embarking on another huge growth goal but I am focusing in on hitting that $10,000 mark on a consistent basis and will continue to look for ways to make more while working smart.

Way to go Kelly!!! Your results are totally fantastic and awesome! Even better, your results are inspiring! Congrats and keep rocking the web
That is awesome!! At least I know it is possible
WOW — You ROCK Kelly. I was only $31 bucks away from your actual May earnings. Way to go on getting so close to your goal!
Congrats Kelly – that is awesome!
Congratulations Kelly! I think you did awesome and you should be grinning. That's so very close to your goal!
Congratulations, Kelly – you are truly an inspiration!
Amazing, Amazing, Kelly – Congratulations – you are a true inspiration! Diana
That is amazing Kelly! Congratulations! I really need to utilize my resources better especially being in your internship. I want to (and I will eventually) get there. Thank you for making me see it is possible. Amazing!
Kelly – congratulations! I so appreciate the way you spell things out. It's inspiring and instructive. No magic pill…just good, workable ideas that you “implement.” Thank you for sharing!
Good job! That has to be so very satisfying, even if you didn't quite make it.
$10k has been my goal for a bit, too, but I kind of went backwards over the past 6 months because of some issues here. But I'm back on track and focused on hitting it, too.
Congratulations!!! Your hard work is paying off. Way to go!
Awesome results, Kelly, congratulations! You are such an inspiration. Your experience proves that we should aim high… high enough so that even if we fall short of our goal, we'll still be happy anyway.
Any thoughts on how you keep your costs at 25%?
Wonderful to know that it IS possible – just shows what a great mind and some dedication can do!
WOW, that is absolutely fantastic! Kelly, you rock! Thanks for keeping us all posted and reminding us what we “can do” if we stay focused & positive.
That's awesome, Kelly! Congratulations on your well-earned income growth.
Big congrats my friend!!!
Planning to double that number again in the next six months?
I know you can!
Hugs and high fives,
N
Totally freaking awesome, Kelly! Way to go – you're amazing!!!
Very inspiring!!
Wow, that was pretty darn close. Who else can claim they got a 82% raise in pay over 6 months? The joys of being able to work for yourself at home!!
This sounds like a dream come true to me! Congratulations!
Kelly, I'm impressed. You must be feeling proud!
Nice job!!!
Wow! Congrats Kelly!
That is fantastic! I remember about four years ago when I was listening to The Truth About Traffic course, the subject of making $10,000 per month came up and you said what a dream that would be. Well, look! You have just about made that dream come true! I am so proud of you! And very inspired, too!
Congratulations, Kelly! that is wonderful!
Thanks for reminding me about that Crissy!
LOL! I have to admit that I'm still getting used to seeing myself HERE at the moment – but keep telling me what you know I can do! I love it
Lexi, it's certainly because there's a lot I know how to do on my own and can do quickly so it keeps outsourcing low. BUT – as I look for more ways to increase my income, there will surely come a point where that percentage has to come up. I just can't keep doing some of the things I do now – even though I love it!
Fabulous!!!
Congratulations! That is inspiring to read about!
Congrats Kelly. You set a really high goal for such a short time frame. I see your arrow hitting the edges of the bull’s eye–so that’s close enough to perfection in my eyes
And, maintaining very low expenses is truly amazing. Not only do your products and services Rock; but you do too. 
Thanks for the motivation!
