Freelance Writing Income: December 2007
The end of the year is always an exciting time for me. This is when I take a close look at how much money I earned for the year, while also setting goals for the future. From past experience, as well as speaking with others, it seems as if December is always a slow month when it comes to freelance writing income. In fact, this holds true for the internet world across the board. The main reason for this is that most people are not working full-time, if at all, at the end of the month. Obviously, this is caused by Christmas and New Years.
Last December, I barely cracked $4,000 of income. While I was not happy with this, as mentioned above, it is something that many have to deal with. Luckily, my freelance writing income for December 2007 was a bit better. Here are my stats:
Number of Completed Projects: 22
Payment by PayPal: 21
Payment by Check: 0
Payment by Bank Wire: 1
Total Income: $6,304.50
When it comes down to it, I have no idea why December ended up being one of my better months of 2007. A bit of it probably had to do with luck, but at the same time I put a lot of time into marketing my services throughout November. This led to a couple new projects in December that pushed me past the $6k mark.
Since this is my last freelance writing income report for 2007, you guys and gals probably want to know what my yearly total was, right? While I am not 100 percent sure because I have to tally some final numbers and add in other income, a safe estimate would be in the $75k to $80k range. It will not be easy to surpass this income in 2008, but I am going to try my best!
