I would be lying through my teeth if I said that I enjoyed the business side of blogging. Granted, when I was younger, I loved to pretend to be an accountant.

Well, it can be downright confusing. So instead of trying to figure it out from Google, I look for other places that can explain it to me. Websites like Moz, Neil Patel, and SEMrush.

If you’ve been following my recent monthly online income reports, you’ll know that I’ve had a fairly successful string of months. Would I be able to survive on this income or support my family?
