My part-time earnings for June came in around $525, and I was published for the first time on three additional online publications: Expat Women, Journey Beyond Travel and In the Know Traveler.
I could have made a lot more with Demand Studios, as there were plenty of travel articles to claim, but I simply didn't have enough time. I claimed at least 40 articles that I didn't end up writing, and I only managed to write ____ articles for Demand during June.
Here's the monthly breakdown:
Content & Informative Travel Writing:
AC Residual - $25
AC Upfront - $0
Constant Content - $95
Demand Studios - $240

Coming Up in July
My husband and I are spending July in Kansas City, MO attending a training program at the International House of Prayer. I'll still be writing for Journey Beyond Travel and Matador, although I'm not sure if I'll have time for much else in addition to the program and working on my thesis. Basically, I'm not going for my monthly goal of $1000 this month, but in August I should be back on track!
If you enjoy my writing at all here on Associated Content, please do check out my creative work on Matador Abroad and leave some comments in the discussion section. Several of the pieces I've published at Abroad have spurred reflective and interesting conversation and debate.

As a completely disorganized freelancer, this is really inspiring. Thanks for sharing and I'll definitely be subscribing - maybe seeing your reports will motivate me to set some goals of my own. :)
It was interesting to look at the different places and how you do writing for them. Good luck!
How exciting. I'm still trying to figure out the right money-making combination. I've slipped into a Local niche. That along with Crafts is starting to work for me. Congratulations on building your online income so quickly.
I'm impressed. Thanks for the breakdown of hard #s. I don't write enough to make much but would like to grow. very helpful article!
