Welcome to my Income Report–where I show you real numbers on how much we are making on this very blog.
Last year I made over $80,000 working part-time.
3 years ago, I started a blog/website to test if a stay-at-home mom could make money online “blogging”. I put blogging in quotes because blogging is totally different than what I used to think of it.
The awesome part about this particular side business (besides the fact it makes over full-time income with part-time hours) is that you’re creating PASSIVE income and can be done from ANYWHERE.

Why do I share my income reports?
Because blogging has been such a life changer for our family, I have to pay-it-forward!
I’m just a regular mom who started a blog – I’m not tech savvy and I don’t even have a college degree.
I was hoping to make a little extra income so that we could travel more, my husband Corey could take extra time off work and to save for our first house. I was blown away when we started making enough my husband was able to quit his fulltime job.
Last month, in December I made $9,867.71 working part-time on this blog.
It’s the best “job” I’ve ever had.
Because of the blog we’ve been able to spend more time with our kids and because I know you love your kids just as much as I love mine, I have to share with you the behind the scenes in case you’re interested too!
My passion is to help other moms (and dads) spend more time with their kids. Making income through a blog is absolutely possible. I’ve seen it done time and time again!
The most common question I get asked is, How do you make money blogging?

How long did it take you to start to earn money from your blog?
Within 18 months, I was making enough (and had saved enough) that my husband was able to quit his fulltime job. Here is a post that talks about how much I made in the beginning months (and tips for how you can do it faster than me): https://www.therealisticmama.com/much-can-really-make-first-start-blogging/!! 🙂
Really really good tips. I love the idea of making money from blogging, it gives so much freedom. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks in advance.
There is so much i want to share and I think starting a blog would be great. My problem is staying encourage and focus. I’m a mother of 4. 2 of them with special needs.
What is some of ur techniques to stay encourage and how do u start to make money on ur blogs?
Hey Elizabeth!
I highly recommend finding a way to network with other likeminded bloggers to stay encouraged. A great way to do this it to join blogger Facebook groups. We also have a blogging course, Successful Startup, that comes with a great bonus FB group and has lessons on monetization. Have you joined our free workshop on how to start a blog, I think you’ll find it really encouraging: https://therealisticmama.lpages.co/register-realistic-blog-startup-workshop/
Thank you! I will sign up.
