We made it!

A full year of tracking my income and sharing the highs and lows with you.

I hope it’s been worth it?

I hope it helps someone.

If I can do this then anyone definitely can. In fact most people could do this way better than me (and do!). In fact I could probably do this better than me, but we’ll get to that when I discuss my plans for 2025 (see future video).

Overall, I’m pleased with December all things considered (Christmas) and I can’t wait to show you my figures for the whole year (next video probably).

Without further ado here’s my usual spiel about the income report. Plus I’ve made the first 5 minutes of the video available to everyone to give you a taste of what paid subscribers are getting every month.

I will be sharing the amounts that were paid into my business account during the calendar month, rather than what was earned. I often earn money in a month that doesn’t pay out for a further month or two. Mixing the two together could get confusing so I will stick to the above for consistency and because that’s how my bookkeeping is done.

Amounts will be given in GBP (as a rule of thumb USD and the EURO is a third higher, Canadian and Australian dollars are ROUGHLY double GBP).

Please use an online currency converter for a more precise figure if needed.

What I’m showing you now is essentially my bookkeeping. In the UK you can use cash-basis accounting where all you have to do is input what comes in and what goes out and all your taxes etc. are calculated for you. There’s a wee bit more to it than that, but honestly not much.

The screenshot in the video (from my ever-evolving spreadsheet) shows the numbers mostly in the way they will be used for my tax return.
