I’m actually amazed at how great you are at recording all of your expenses and profits!
So far, I have a general idea of my expenses, but I don’t think I could tell you what they are to the penny!
Anyway, great job last year Crystal! $5,000 is pretty good for “extra money”. If I can do this in 2011, I would be extremely excited!
Wow – fantastic profit! Lets hope you can add a zero to that number next year.
That’s some pretty great money- what a fantastic year you have had. 2011 will be even better!
Nice job. You have amazing readership here.. keep up the good work!
Awesome results here BTFS!
Congratulations! You’ll be blogging full time in no time!
That’s awesome! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing so openly! It inspired me. Great work!
Absolutely fantastic Crystal! My best wishes for an even better 2011!
You’ve done very well. Thanks so much for sharing. This give the newbies out here something to look forward to. Have a blessed year.
That’s awesome stats! Something to shoot for. Keep it up and continued success in 2011!
Congratulations, you achieved this in less than a year.
@LifeAndMyFinances, I have an Excel page for all of my income (I have the business, link, any associated URL’s, the contact information, terms, price before Paypal, price after Paypal, and current BFS stats listed) and I used my Paypal and credit card records to track my expenses.
With any luck, I can keep expenses to less than $100 this year since I already have paid for hosting for 3 years and all of my domains are good for at least 2 years or more (BFS has been paid for 5 years in advance, lol).
@Jim, adding a zero would be awesome! Thanks!
@Everyday Tips, thank you so much for all of your support!
@Jaymus, thank you. I’m glad to see new Yakezie members visiting.
Hope you kill the 200,000 ranking challenge!!!
@SPF, thank you!
@Kevin, that would be fantastic! Thank you.
@Nicole, thanks!
@Melissa, I am so glad it helps!
@MoneyCone, thank you!
@Debt Free Divas, it is nice to be able to look at older bloggers’ stats, lol. I am personally aiming for Evan’s current numbers at My Journey to Millions by the end of the year (he has daily visitor numbers that I drool over right now, lol). I love it when bloggers share.
@Buck, thank you!
@krantcents, I hope to achieve even more this one, lol.
Thank you all for being a part of my life!
You’re keeping excellent track of all your stats. I haven’t really calculated how much I’ve earned (thought it’s not much in comparison), however I have a rough idea of how many visitors I get. Although this month my stats are going to be WAY OFF. An article I hosted ended up on consumerist.com and it’s blowing up my stats – so they’ll be skewed this month.
@Little House, congrats on the Comsumerist hits!!! I hope most of them realize you are awesome and stay around!
This is so great Crystal; thank you for sharing! I have no doubt that you’ll reach your goal sooner rather than later
Great stuff as usual, Crystal. The monetezation is great, particularly for a newer blog like yours. Hard to believe both our blogs are less than year old. Not even at the Toddler stage:)
Congratulations! I can’t wait to see where we all go in 2011!!!
Keep up the great work!
You are doing an awesome job! Keep up the good work! Love the way you break it all down for us!
Awesome job! I’m going to doing exactly this pretty soon.
A solid start. Not much to add but: you better keep at it!
You rock, girl!
What can I say that wasn’t said yet. Congrats!
Wow your record keeping is unreal! Excellent work in 2010. Keep up the fantastic work and you’ll reach your goal mid- 2011
Thanks everyone!
@Squirrelers, toddler stage feels about right actually, lol.
Hey,
Great post and impressive numbers for the amount of time that you’ve been doing the blog. I’m just starting up myself and would be super stoked to get achieve even half the numbers you got. Keep up the great work!
Good job and nice work. I am creating a blog about investing and personal finance as well. The idea is to showcase what I actually do to generate extra income monthly by stocking buying/selling. Or whatever.
good job
