I want to add that when I started this money tracking, I was not making very much, and I liked being transparent to show other people the journey.
I also took on a part-time job as a program manager for a remote newsroom. So, between that and teaching, I pull up to 80 hours a week, working.
Please keep that in mind. It's not sustainable. Don't do this. There is only so much a person can do, be kind to yourself.
This year, I made $91,756 total.
I made ~$62,500 from teaching, down from $76,000 teaching last year.
This year, I made $91,756 total.
I made ~$62,500 from teaching, down from $76,000 teaching last year.
Remember, I added a job in there, which covered another $19,500
Therefore, I made only about ~$9,000 writing this year.
Again, I hope to change these dynamics next year.
I want to give you a rundown of the totals for the last five years, just so you can see the trajectory.
2020: $91,700
2019: $94,600
2018: $77,900
2017: $65,600
2016: $48,000
2015: $23,000
2014: $6,000
My lowest income month was June at $4,670.
(Last year's lowest income month was September at $4,430.)
My highest income month was January at $10,532.
(Last year it was February at $13,112. This was an all-time high)
On average I made $7,641 a month, which is $1,910.
Last year I made $7,882 a month, which is $1,970 a week.
Remember, though, I still have to do my taxes on ~$29,000 of this.
THE NUMBERS BEHIND THE MONEY:
We'll focus now on just the writing. To get that $9K, I published 23 pieces this year, which is up from the year before when I published 21.
My highest number published in a month was June with 4 pieces published.
I had several months where I didn't publish anything, which is not great for a freelancer.
In terms of publications, I published in 13 different places, down from 16 last year, including websites, newspapers and magazines.
The most pieces I published for one place? 3 which is the same as last year down from 7 the year before that, and down from 15 the year before.
The lowest I wrote for was $50.
The highest check for one piece I received this year was for $2,500--for a piece in a college alumni magazine.
On average, I made $391 a piece this year, lower per piece than any recent year. In fairness, I have not been paid for SEVERAL of my high-number pieces, each coming in at $1,000-$2,000. So, a truer number, actually, is $473 a piece for what I've been paid, or, $630 a piece, when my accounts are squared.
THE EFFORT BEHIND THE NUMBERS:
Let's talk pitches, rejections and acceptances. To publish my 23 pieces this year, I sent out 72 pitches this year.
I was rejected outright 29 times.
I was accepted 16 times (I was commissioned for some of these pieces, which doesn't count in the pitching process).
I was ignored 27 times (which is a silent rejection, obviously).
So, my percentages work out like this:
Accepted: 23% of the time (same as last year)
Rejected: 40% of the time
Ignored: 37% of the time
Total Rejected: 77% of the time.
I was accepted 23 percent of the time, and rejected 77 percent of the time. THIS HAS BEEN CONSISTENT FOR 3 YEARS NOW.
Keep trying! Keep going! We can do this, freelancers. It is possible.

Hello to everyone out here, I am here to share the unexpected miracle that happened to me … My name is Susan Christian , I live in London, UK. we got married for more than 9 years and have gotten two kids. thing were going well with us and we are always happy. until one day my husband started to behave in a way i could not understand, i was very confused by the way he treat me and the kids. later that month he did not come home again and he called me that he want a divorce, i asked him what have i done wrong to deserve this from him, all he was saying is that he want a divorce that he hate me and do not want to see me again in his life, i was mad and also frustrated do not know what to do, i was sick for more than 2 weeks because of the divorce. i love him so much he was everything to me without him my life is incomplete. i told my sister and she told me to contact a spell caster, i never believe in all this spell casting of a thing. i just want to try if something will come out of it. i contacted Dr Emu for the return of my husband to me, they told me that my husband have been taken by another woman, that she cast a spell on him that is why he hate me and also want us to divorce. then they told me that they have to cast a spell on him that will make him return to me and the kids, they casted the spell and after 24 hours my husband called me and he told me that i should forgive him, he started to apologize on phone and said that he still love me that he did not know what happen to him that he left me. it was the spell that Dr Emu casted on him that make him come back to me today, me and my family are now happy again today. thank you Dr Emu for what you have done for me i would have been nothing today if not for your great spell. i want you my friends who are passing through all this kind of love problem of getting back their husband, wife , or ex boyfriend and girlfriend to contact Dr Emu , if you need his help you can contact him through his private mail: emutemple@gmail.com or you can contact him through his website https://emutemple.wordpress.com/ fb page Https://web.facebook.com/Emu-Temple-104891335203341 and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay.

ReplyDeleteI really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.
