Follow these simple steps to start tracking & measuring your blog income properly:
STEP 1: DOWNLOAD THE INCOME TRACKING SPREADSHEET
This is the income tracking spreadsheet I've used to keep track of my blog income for years.
It's designed to give you an accurate representation of what you've earned and what you've been paid for / not been paid for month by month. Easily see all of this information at a glance! {This comes in really handy when an affiliate or customer doesn't pay on time!}
One month of sample data is entered
STEP 2: CUSTOMIZE IT TO YOUR BLOGGING BUSINESS
All the calculations are set up for you. Simply replace the sample information with yours.
You can add/delete rows as needed and even change the colors! Once you feel like you have a nice template suited to your needs, then duplicate the sheet to create more months.
I recommend going through an entire month, then duplicating the final sheet near month end...that way you will roll forward anything you captured throughout the month to the next month.
