My May 2016 Monthly Income Report
May’s Overview
This is the first of 4 reports that I’ve had to write months later. It’s September 12th 2016 over 3 months since this report was due- damn! Many of you have emailed me concerned as to why I haven’t been putting reports out. It really bothered me that I wasn’t able to publish any reports and disappointed with myself at how helpless I had become.
Long story short, I haven’t really been able to work since mid April until recently (late last month- August) due to some personal setbacks I had to deal with. Nevertheless, I appreciate your patience and sorry for the long wait!
In total, I generated $10,376.36 which was equivalent to a -40.67% decline from April’s revenue which resulted in crazy -69.10% decrease in net income.
As you’ll see below, I completely neglected everything else except for Amazon and the ever steady rental income!
Anyway, here’s how May really went down…

Lesson Learned
“A luta continua, vitória é certa”.
Meaning, “The struggle continues, victory is certain”. It’s so easy to give up in the face of uncertainty but I keep reminding myself that this is a commitment and you simply don’t back down from a commitment- you keep fighting on all fronts!
I realize the above quote is from April’s report but it still applies now more than ever. It was almost like a premonition especially looking back to the events that followed months to come.
I’m still here though so vitória é certa haha!
Thank you for reading, until next month, stream on!

Dont mind me asking – what are the fees that cost you 3.1k?
Hey Matthew, the fees reflected are Amazon fees, they take as much as 33%
