Transcript

If I show how much I make online, I get comments saying I'm out of touch, that I'm lying, this is not possible. I dare, as a woman, make this much from my silly little videos. And if I don't, I get comments saying, I'm just with my husband for his money. So, yeah, if I do, then if I don't, I'm just going to do what I've always done and just share these numbers transparently. Show you what is possible. Like, this is possible. If I can do it, anyone can. I'm a full-time content creator. I've been doing this as a hobby for 15 years, and as a full-time job for the last three years. So it's also allowed me to stay at home with my son and still provide for my family and me. Incredible and I'm so thankful. I also love being self-employed. Whatever I put in is what I get back. And I'm not just doing it for the men. I'm doing it for myself and my family and my future. This month from social media, I made $28,184.47 before tax. $2,963.08 of that was from YouTube AdSense. Typically weekly, I try to post weekly on YouTube. That's where I started. My bread and butter, my favorite platform. Sorry. I made $7,765.18 from affiliates, and that's from either links or discount codes that you guys use. And the majority of my income this month came from paid partnerships, brand deals. I made $17,386.66. These aren't necessarily brand deals I did this month. A lot of them are from previous months, and they just happened to be paid out in July. And that's $17,000 is after my management have taken a cut. Oh, I also made $48.55 from Amazon. Of that $28,000, I usually set aside about 45% for taxes and any business expenses. I don't have a lot of overheads. I do have some rollover from last month, so I'm paying myself about $18,286 into my personal account. That is my take-home pay, which is crazy.
