Thats all well and good and I say I make that income "part-time" ... but what does that mean in my world? Do I make that working 35 hours per week? If I did work 35 hours per week, Id be making $12 per hour, which is still more than minimum wage. Its still more than a lot of people I know make to do very difficult jobs while their kids are in school or are being cared for by someone else.
So a friend was hoping I did okay hourly and it inspired this blog post! I cant guarantee Ill keep up with it, so if you miss it, just nudge me! Im very nudge-able and approachable!
And yes, you have writers out there who are making $50-100 per hour and they are laughing at my measly income. God bless em! Im not competing with them. Im sticking with things I know how to do that will bring income to my family. Also you will find 99% of these writers have grown children or kids at school or daycare and have a full 6 hours at least to have a thought and put it on paper in an intelligent manner!!!!!
Sept. 30-Oct. 6: 22.22 hours = $24.03 per hour
Oct. 7-Oct. 13: 16.08 hours = $13.71 per hour (my grandfather died this week, we were roofing, it was our anniversary [15 years] and we had weekend company and I likely dove into my ebook project which pays nothing immediately)
Oct. 14-Oct. 20: 21.08 hours = $19.83 per hour
Oct. 21-Oct. 27: 16 hours = $18.06 per hour (tons of Halloween and fall activities!)
Oct. 28-Nov. 3: 18 hours = $22.29
There you go! An average of about $20 per hour, which is about $42,000 per year if I worked full-time. Considering I can work in my jammies and dont have any expenses like gas or lunch out, I think thats doing okay for someone who gets to hang with her kids and husband the rest of the day.
Do you keep any logs of time and money? Id love to hear about your experiences! By the way, heres my ebook thats only 99 cents that tells you the ways I make money and gives more details than I share on the blog. Then it links to another report where you can find a tons of ways to make money doing paid guest blogging and more (things I dont currently have time to pursue but I hope you do)! YOU DO NOT NEED A KINDLE TO BUY THIS BOOK! They have a Cloud reader that enables you to read ebooks on your PC or laptop!
