$10k, so close

I wrote this same time last year about how I wanted to close the gap towards $10k in local currency by earning $1k more.

So let’s tally the average actual earned income on all my gigs in 2025:

• Carrd on X = US$1500
• Carrd support = US$2000
• Podseeker = US$2240 / S$2886
• Product = US$1728 / S$2226

TOTAL MONTHLY AVERAGE = US$7468 / S$9623

Sooo close!

Tbh I did nothing significant to increase income. I spent more in fact last year, on revenge travel. But still managed to creep in on the 10k from freelance overtime, and small rise in plugins referral revenue. I remember hitting 10k on good months, like November due to Black Friday, last year.

But this is my max ceiling from selling my time. I have zero time left over to convert into more income. The only way is a higher yield from whatever I am spending my time on.

Just $400 more.
Just that little bit more…
