This is how much money I made as a full-time content creator, and small business owner last year. I'm going to show you not just my income streams, but also my business expenses, my profit, how much I paid in taxes, and how much I paid myself! I'm a big believer in financial transparency and financial education, especially for growing content creators and small business owners, so I'm going to share my own numbers with you today, so you can get a realistic picture of what's possible with an audience the size of mine, in my niche. If you have any questions - definitely let me know in the comments!
