The Fascinating World of Online Income Reports: A Personal Take
Written on
Chapter 1: The Allure of Income Reports
Income reports have always piqued my interest. There's something captivating about discovering how others generate their earnings. Historically, discussions around finances have been somewhat of a taboo, but platforms like Glassdoor and Clara have encouraged more openness. Nowadays, sharing income details is increasingly accepted.
Why are income reports so enticing? Personally, I admit I'm a bit nosy. My curiosity about others' financial situations, including their various income sources, drives my interest. My fascination began when I stumbled upon income reports on Pinterest, where I encountered a renowned finance blogger who earned over $65,000 in a single month from blogging! This revelation sparked a quest for more income reports, leading me to explore TikTok, YouTube, Medium, Reddit, Facebook, and even newsletters from my favorite creators.
Section 1.2: A New Approach to Transparency
Today, I appreciate the honesty that income reports can bring. While I don't share my earnings broadly, I do disclose them to my paid Substack subscribers. I've seen other creators adopt this model successfully, sharing income insights through email, which I find effective. I recently published my December 2021 income report, and for those interested, my Substack is live, with my January report on the way.

Chapter 2: The Debate on Sharing Income
In my Substack, I cover topics related to content creation, social media, entrepreneurship, and side hustles. The question remains: should individuals share their income online?
Everyone has different comfort levels regarding disclosing their financial information. Opinions vary widely—some readers find sharing personal income details too intimate, while others view it as bragging or unhelpful. Conversely, many find such reports inspiring.
