Inspiration: 99 blogs and startups with transparent income reports

At times, working with internet marketing, it can feel like a real uphill battle with no end in sight. You build great content, you get those valuable links and you market your product, but the results don’t really materialize, or so it feels at least. You know the feeling?

We’ll, I do. But I also go the remedy, income reports!

Having been around for a while, you step over these great gems from time to time, it’s the reports where people in many ways pour their business out for all of us to see. They show us what they do, how they do it, if and how they fail, and in many ways the best part, what the results are. Income reports give you just that kick in the butt you need to get going. Seeing someone succeed and growing with them, siphoning inspiration and idéas is a real boost.

So, I have compiled a report with 99 awesome income reports from a wide variety of blogs and startups. It covers food, tech, affiliate marketing, travel and everything in between. Some earn bucket loads of money and some even have a negative return (for the moment at least). But they all have one thing in common and that’s that they all work really hard trying to attain their goals and they also take you for the ride, be it in the ups and down.

So, in order of latest monthly income (the top 10 ones really fill their bank accounts) here is the complete list:

Open.buffer.com (Buffer) – ($413000)

What’s not to say about Buffer and transparency? With their own workplace and company culture, they are outstanding in reporting pretty much everything about their business. From income to growth to even salaries, Buffer tells you everything! Truly inspiring and a great way get to know the ins and outs of a tech startup without actually being in one.

Entrepreneuronfire.com – ($298146)

Want to know how to make nearly 300K a month? Start a podcast, a kick ass podcast interviewing entrepreneurs on a daily basis and provide awesome value each time. That’s it! Well, not exactly. In just a few short years, EntrepeneurOnFire has grown and grown and just keeps on growing with its podcast and it’s own products!  John Lee Dumas is just wiping the floor with its competition!

Groovehq.com – ($106131)

Groove (help desk kind of service) is another quality startup that has a great way of plotting their growth and income in timeline where you can follow just what happens! A great read and quality insight whenever a new income report or any other blog post show in my RSS-feed.

Smartpassiveincome.com – ($79098)

Pat Flynn might be the man when it comes to income reports. Being one of the longest running income reports Pat always deliver full transparency, sharing knowledge on how his business growing and how he’s is planning ahead.

Fatstacksblog.com – ($37876)

Fat Stacks is actually a new one that I stumbled upon while researching for this article. But that’s beside the point, these guys/gals is really killing it, reporting over 37K in profits last month. I’ll be following it closely.

Dalepartridge.com – ($31271)

Dale is a serial entrepreneur writing (and speaking) about his business and how you can evolve as a person. Great tips every day and a solid income report at that!

Dollarsandroses.com – ($29572)

Dollars and Roses are actually not a blog I have been following. But with recurring income reports and solid income they deserve a spot on this list. It’s about the trails and tribulations of getting married, so if that is something coming your way you should check their blog!

Baremetrics.Io – ($26200)

So, final one on this list (top 10 earners at least) is Baremetrics. They are a startup offering a dashboard and analytics for your Stripe account (payment gateway). It’s another great blog on how a startup grown their business and the struggle they experience getting bigger!
