So I've had the previous six months of 2025 - Jan to June on a pretty tasty full time wage, but now that is over and I am back to part-time regular working and only 2 days a week at that!
That doesn't bring me in too much regular income!
This is my income breakdown for the next few months as I see it...
Paid work....
Now standing at just under 50% of my monthly income, clearly I am now dependent on this once again!
I don't actually mind this too much, now I'm out of teaching and doing just regular work with perfectly reasonable employer and decent pension to boot, all fine!
Blog ads and revision sales....
My ad revenue has gone down over the last couple of years in line with my traffic, I think the ads have killed the traffic, and now I'm at a new low.
my plan here is to kill the ad contract once it's up for renewal in November this year and find a less intrusive ad company, and then hopefully my revision resource sales will increase.
But then all of the paid resources need an update.
Lots of work required here!
Hive and easy crypto draw down...
These are the amounts I'm prepared to take out on a monthly basis, they are small, actually below the tax threshold so no need to declare, but actually quite handy now given that my income is relatively low ATM.
Final thoughts...
I've got enough coming in to cover my outgoings, but only just.
The plan is to pile into it with the main blog and try and get some more revenue generated there, if that fails after a few months, then back to even more paid work.
