I’ve Made Nearly 6 Figures Online — Where the F*ck Is the Money?

<p>Ever since I started writing online almost 4 years ago, I made more money than I ever thought possible. I haven&rsquo;t become a millionaire just yet, I haven&rsquo;t moved to a remote island living off passive income sipping pi&ntilde;a coladas on the beach either. Instead, I kept my 9&ndash;5 job, and I used a lot of the money I generated online to try and expand my business. But when I look back at the past 5 years, I sometimes wonder where the money went.</p> <p>Income diversification is key to any online business. Here are my different revenue-generating channels:</p> <ul> <li>Writing on medium.com</li> <li>Selling digital products on my website</li> <li>Creating video courses on Youtube.com</li> <li>Do some freelance work (once in a while, not a lot)</li> </ul> <p>Altogether, this has brought in almost $100K over the past 5 years. Yet when I open up my bank account to check the balance, it&rsquo;s nowhere near that number. I pride myself on being good at managing my money, saving and investing a lot for a rainy day. I live below my means and I spend rather frugally. I could afford to drive a much nicer car than the one I have, but I only use it to go from A to B, not to show off at the red light. I bought a house below our budget to make sure we didn&rsquo;t start living above our means. At the end of the day, I do have some money left from the $100K, and that&rsquo;s better than someone who would have blown through it all. But I&rsquo;m sometimes not sure if everything I spent with a &ldquo;growth strategy&rdquo; in mind was worth it (more on this later) and if there are some things I could have done to have more left today.</p> <p><a href="https://entrepreneurshandbook.co/ive-made-nearly-6-figures-online-where-the-f-ck-is-the-money-13b90f34e927">Website</a></p>
