How I Made $4,937.93 In April 2023 Blogging

May 8, 2023 - by Radhika Prasad - Leave a Comment

Welcome to April’s 2023 monthly income report. I am so excited to share this income report with you!

It has been a while since I did this. I decided to start sharing my income reports again to help motivate myself and my readers.

I have learned a lot since being on and off my blog. I am here to share my knowledge with my readers so that it may be able to help you out with your blogs!

If you are new to Fire and A Beer, you may be wondering why I publish my income reports.

I decided to start publishing my income reports again mainly for a few reasons.

The first reason is to motivate others and myself. Before I started making money from blogging, I really had no clue about anything that had to do with making money online. I didn’t even know it was possible to do that. I thought the only way to make money was to go to school, get a job, work until you’re 65, then retire.

We are conditioned that way by society to think that is the only way to make money.

This is not true at all and I am living proof of it! 🙂

Making money from a blog is truly possible. You can make money while you are sleeping, out dancing with friends, relaxing, staying home with your kids and so much more!

How this blogger is making $8,000 a month blogging part-time

I am always on the lookout for extraordinary people doing extraordinary things. I love showing my readers pieces of proof that anything is possible and you can live the life you want.

Today’s interview is with Jodi Carlson. Jodi has a blog in Girl Scouts, which is a very narrow niche, and she does quite well. I know many people may think that having a blog in a very narrow niche will reduce the chances to earn money blogging. However, that’s not true at all and Jodi is proof of that.

Jodi only blogs part-time and earns around $8,000 a month from her blog. That’s amazing!

Jodi was a Girl Scout Leader for 25 years. She works full-time as a web designer. She was able to pair her knowledge of web design with her experience of being a Girl Scout Leader to create a profitable blog in a very narrow niche.

She is now making money through sponsored posts, affiliates, her own line of products, and her email list which is extremely profitable. It’s very clear from the way she talks about her blog that she really loves what she does.

Jodi’s story is incredibly inspiring because she shows you that blogging in a narrow niche is actually a real possibility.

So you want to be a millionaire huh? 😉 Do you have what it takes? Anyone can become a millionaire but not many people want to do what it takes to become a millionaire.

Many people know that to get good at anything, you need to have consistency. You need to be able to have self-discipline, and motivation and be a self-starter.

Discipline and consistency are the two main things you need to have in order to succeed in becoming a millionaire. You will need to learn how to do things over and over again and do them well every single time. Until they become habits.…good habits.

If you really think about it, the hardest part about getting good at anything is being consistent and staying focused even when you don’t see the results yet.

How I Made $195.63 In September Blogging

October 24, 2019 - by Radhika Prasad - Leave a Comment

Welcome to September 2019’s business income report. This is where I show you how I made money online last month. September was a great month to restart my blogging business. I have a few blog goals that I talked about in my previous blog post. You can find that post here, How To Kick-Start Your Blog In 2019. Let’s take a look at this month’s update and see how I did.

If you’re new to Fire and A Beer, you may be wondering why I would want to publish my income report each month. You can skip to the next section if you’re not new here. 🙂

I decided to start publishing income reports mainly for a few reasons:

Before I started blogging, I knew nothing about making money online. I didn’t even know what a blog was, let alone how to make money from one. I also didn’t think side hustles were worth the effort. I always thought that the only way you could make more money is through raises at your full-time job or going back to school to eventually get a better high-paying job. If it weren’t for others publishing their monthly income reports, I would have never known that making money online with a blog was possible.

I want to publish my income reports because it’s a way for me to look back and see how I’m doing. I think it’s a great way to learn from my mistakes and see what areas need improvement. I want to use my income reports like a journal so that I can really track my progress.

Lastly, I want to show others that making money online is possible and there are many ways to make money from home. I want to inspire others to be in control of their finances and create their dream life. I believe that with the right mindset, hard work, discipline, and a little bit of faith, anything is possible. 😉

August 17, 2019 - by Radhika Prasad - 6 Comments

Many people think it’s too late to start a blog in 2019 and make money from it. However, I’m here to tell you it’s not.

It’s not too late! It’s never too late to create the life you want and become your own boss. Having a blog will let you do that plus a lot more!

Learning how to start a blog is not easy. But that’s just like learning anything in life. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it!

Having said that, starting a blog is one of the best things I’ve done in my life!

Blogging completely changed my life in so many ways. It’s amazing to look back and see how far I’ve come with my blog. From not knowing exactly what a blog was, to making an income from it, building a brand, helping and inspiring others, and much more!

From $50,000 In Debt To A Lifestyle of Full-time Travel

July 18, 2018 - by Radhika Prasad - 4 Comments

Having a side hustle can be a great thing. It can lead to you discovering new skills and abilities, starting your own business, and lead you to financial freedom.

I really enjoy finding people who have done extraordinary things in their lives. Like starting a business from the ground up, paying off massive amounts of debt in a short time, and more.

First, we had Alexandra Fasulo, who made $150,000 in just 6 months. Today’s interview is with Joel Young, a 34-year-old dad who paid off his debt, quit his job, and made his side hustle into his full-time business.

Joel started off with Fiverr and quickly found himself running his own business. He made $1 million from his side hustle and is the founder of jumpstartvideo.net.

As a pastor, Joel needed to find a voice-over actor for a project. He searched on Fiverr and paid $10 for the job and that sparked an idea in his mind. Joel was looking for a way to dig himself out of about $50,000 in debt.

In his first month he made $400 and within 18 months, he paid off all of his debt. Now he travels full-time with his family and lives in an RV!

This interview has lots of gold nuggets to share. This is just another piece of proof that anything you want in life is possible!

6 Ways Money Can Actually Buy You Happiness

July 7, 2018 - by Radhika Prasad - Leave a Comment

So you’ve heard the saying, “money can’t buy happiness” right? Well in some cases, money actually can buy you happiness. People often think that money is bad or talking about your finances is taboo, or rich people are evil because they have money. That’s nuts! I don’t think money is bad at all. I think it’s smart to have lots of money and learn creative ways to make more!

Grant Cardone always says, “The people who think money is bad, are the people who don’t have any.”

Honestly, I think he’s right. How can you expect to become a millionaire or be financially free if your relationship with money is bad? It just doesn’t make sense.

So I’ve created a list below for you to wipe the slate clean with your negative relationship with money. And start looking at the great things you can do with money!
