These are my online business finances for June 2023.
I spent most of the month in Andorra 🇦🇩 and was in London for a few days at the end 🇬🇧
I’ve been tracking everything I earn and spend since January 2011, just a few weeks after quitting my day job. Every month since, I’ve published one of these finance reports.
Sharing this info publicly keeps me accountable and hopefully gives you some insight into how I earn a living online.
Patrons get to see each new report before anyone else.

👍 Affiliate Income
Affiliate payments in June came from…
(Btw, we don’t necessarily recommend everything we earn affiliate income from. Sometimes we’ll write a negative review of something and people will still sign up to it via our affiliate link. Humans are weird like that.)
