Welcome to our income reports where we share ways we’ve been making money through the , the challenges and lessons we learned each month, and finally to celebrate successes however big or small. Though we have a few side hustles, we’re happy to say that the travel has become our main hustle.

Life Updates - I Got a New Job!

We decided that once we moved to Las Vegas, we would live life at a slower pace and not work as many hours as we were living in NYC. Now that the has become consistent, both Jacob and I have been looking for other ways to grow and learn.

Lately, I’ve found myself spending all my spare time watching climbing videos and being intrigued with all the different setting. When the opportunity came at our local gym, I decided to take setting clinic to learn how to create bouldering problems. 

In the past, I thought it would be fun to be a setter, but I wrote it off assuming I would never be qualified. Even after applying and getting the job, there have been so many insecurities that have crept into my mind (ie, I’m not a strong enough climber or I’m not creative enough).

It’s been a while since I put myself out there to possibly fail. The past 12+ years has been about slowly cultivating skills I already knew I had. This is the first time in a long while that I’m taking a leap not knowing where I will land.

On this , it might seem strange to want to go from being my own boss for so many years to working for someone else, but it’s a challenge I think is worth pursuing. Even if I fail, I’m sure it will be a good learning experience and am so excited about this new chapter.

How We Made OVER $21.7K in April - Travel Blog Income Report

Why We Share Our Income Reports

If you’re new here, you might be wondering why on earth we would share something so personal. We’ve been hesitant to share our income reports for the last 5 years, and we’re super nervous about this post, but since we’re all about trial and error, let’s see how it goes! We’re putting out these income reports for these following reasons.

To Show You How We Make Income Blogging

We always want to be 100% transparent about how we make money through this . The amazing thing about the ging world is that every we’ve talked to does things a bit differently. There are also countless ways to grow and improve your business. When we started, we made most of our money through affiliate sales. Since then, we’ve shifted heavily to sponsored content. A big part of this is because my background is in sales and it’s what I’m good at. You can learn more about my sale method below. As time goes on, this will continue to change, but we want to share how we focus on our strengths to effectively meet our goals.

To Show You the Potential of Blogging

Whether you have a or are starting a , we want to show you that you can make a career out of ging.

Even if you don’t want to , there are a ton of ways to be financially and location independent and we hope to inspire others to go after it too. If you want to keep your day job, ging can be a great way for you to make some extra side money.

Esther started the 6 years ago and I joined her full time 3 years ago. Even until last year, our parents were worried about us financially, wondering when we would stop “playing” and start taking our lives and work more seriously. Neither of us ended up being “good Asians” (namely a doctor, lawyer, or engineer). It’s an unconventional job and where most people don’t understand all the work that goes on behind the scenes.

We love that our jobs give us flexibility in what we do, but being your own boss isn’t all that it’s cut out to be either. You have to be disciplined and work hard at your business to grow it.

If you’re not getting the results you want, again, keep in mind that we’ve been ging for 6 years now and the first month I tried monetizing my , I made less than $20. Give it more time and failing in the process is okay. I didn’t have the correct tools that are out now and a lot of it was trial and error. Consider it all an A/B test to figure out what will best work for you.

To Track How We're Doing

I’ve always loved sharing goals online and tracking them. Putting them out in the world (via the ) has helped me so much with accountability. Since we’re constantly tweaking trying to improve the , looking at these numbers will help us learn whether we’ve been making the right changes. It’s amazing to see how the sources of income have changed over time and to see where we still have room for improvement.

Ultimately, our life goal is to make enough to live on half our income (right now we’re at 30%), where the rest will go back into the community or support organizations we love.

What Didn't Work + Lessons Learned

We’ve been hosting different friends pretty much every other week after moving to Vegas and haven’t had as much time to hunker down and work on the . We moved here at the end of February and have already had 5 sets of friends stay with us.

I’m glad to see that traffic did not dip significantly even though I haven’t posted anything this past month, but I don’t intend for this to happen again next month.

How to Work with Sponsors

The e-course is out! Are you a content creator and want to learn how to work with brands?

If you look at our income reports, we make a majority of our income from sponsored posts. We used to do many one-off partnerships with brands, but over the years we’ve been focused on longer term partnerships. Most our brand sponsorships are over $20k, and one of our most recent ones was over $35k.

With over 10 years of trial and error working in corporate and managing our first business, Jacob has figured out the best ways to pitch and work with brands.

At first we were reluctant to put out just another e-course in this oversaturated, dog-eat-dog market, but we’ve seen our coaching and course actually help people quit their jobs and start their own businesses. How cool is that? Plus, all our students who have put our course to action have made their money back within the month, and one of our students using the e-course has already booked $11k in sponsorships. So effin’ excited to see them conquer this new chapter in their lives. If you’re interested to learn more, see the intro video here.

Bloggers Tax Advantages:⁣ ⁣ Define yourself as a Professional Writer. The IRS relies on 26 U.S. Code § 183 - Activities not engaged in for profit when determining whether a blogger is considered a professional blogger. If the activity of a blogger is not engaged in for profit, no deduction attributable to such activity shall be allowed under 26 U.S. Code § 183. If your blog does not turn a profit during the first three to four taxable years the IRS may consider your blog as a hobby.⁣ ⁣ Bloggers engaging in a home business can be eligible for business related deductions under 26 U.S. Code § 162 for all the ordinary and necessary expenses paid or incurred during the taxable year in carrying on any trade or business. However, you must use that part of your home claimed EXCLUSIVELY AND REGULARLY as either the principal location of your business, or the place reserved to meet clients, or customers. Or in the case of the blogger – work on your blog. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣#ProfessionalBlogger #RIP #KyrzaydaRodriguez #StrengthOfALion #FashionBlog #FashionDesign #Chic #StrongWomen #Jersey #Manhattan #TaxDeduction #TaxGuide #StephensBrosTaxService #Advisor (at ProfessionalBlogger) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnqsysYh1AW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zz1lxdtgztjy

Welcome to our income reports where we share ways we’ve been making money through the , the challenges and lessons we learned each month, and finally to celebrate successes however big or small. Though we have a few side hustles, we’re happy that the travel is our main hustle.

Life Updates

We spent the first week of June at the IPW conference, where they shut down Disneyland for IPW, and we got to preview the new Star Wars Land. I usually opt out of conferences, and let Jacob do what he does best, but I couldn’t pass up going to Disneyland!

The second week, we were in Alaska, where we experienced 24 hours of daylight for the first time. It tripped me out, but I loved that golden hour lasted forever.

Back in Vegas, we’ve been spending more time climbing both indoors and outdoors, which has been the only way to have any work-life balance. It also helped that this month, we were able to send two of our writers to Czech Republic. Maybe I’m getting too old for back to back travel, but I like being able to come back to a home base and decompress in between.

BTW, I’m completely done with my training for setting at the climbing gym, so now I just need lots of practice. You can follow along my route setting and climbing journey @petiteclimbing or come by Origin and let me know how I’m doing.

What's Working on the Blog

We’ve been so bad about posting new posts the past few months, but in June, we had at least 4! Go me! haha It’s so hard to balance creating new posts and updating older ones that need maintenance.

IPW has been a great conference for us. We always have a few good leads coming out of it. We’re excited to follow up and see if we can build new partnerships.

What Didn't Work + Lessons Learned

We’re in the process of moving servers, which will increase our site speed significantly. It’s taken longer than expected, but we want to do it right. As for income, it was a slow month in terms of payments, and a big month for spending. A lot of it is for future trips, so hopefully we’ll be seeing income come back to us later in the year.

We also haven’t had time to market the course. It’s a full time job of its own, so we’re currently looking to hire someone for marketing.
