May 2020 Side Hustle & Business Income Report – $1,778.05
Hi, Friends! May was an interesting month for us. We are still staying at home but the country is starting to open up. I’ll be honest, 2.5 months at home is starting to get to me but creating my course on How To Save Money on Groceries has been a good distraction!
We brought in $9,718.44 – $1,778.05 of that was from side hustle income!
If June is a 3 paycheck month for you, here’s a video that will be helpful.
Side hustle income is a large part of the financial success we’ve enjoyed over the last couple of years. We’ve paid off debt, cash flowed our wedding and new-to-me car and saved a down payment on our first home. Without a side hustle all of those wins wouldn’t have been possible.
Each month I’ll share my different side hustles, how much they earned and if I’ve dabbled in any new ones.
My May Side Hustles from largest to smallest:
Here is how I made $1,778.05 this month.

Robinhood Referral Stock: $47.38
I’ve been contributing to my Roth IRA and 401(k) for years, but haven’t explored outside of those two accounts. Until now.
Six months ago I started researching M1 Finance and Robinhood. Both are incredible investing apps, especially for beginners. When you sign up with Robinhood you get a free stock as do I, so it’s a win-win for both!
Webull is another user-friendly platform for investing. You receive two free stocks, up to a value of $1400 for free when you deposit $100.
Patreon: $31.49
Patreon is a monthly subscription to help support your favorite creators. On Patreon you will find exclusive videos, like Budget Report Cards, personal videos, behind the scenes, live streams as well as all of my budget templates and printables.
Dividends: $6.81
As you can see, my dividends are low for the month of May, but honestly, I’m excited to see this!
Investing in Dividend Stocks through M1 Finance and Robinhood are an incredible way to make passive income in the long run. Most dividends are paid quarterly so receiving a few monthly dividends is an unexpected surprise. I am growing my portfolio by $500-$1,000 every month.
I am blown away by how I was able to make over $1,700 from side hustle income this month. The majority of that income came from you and your support. Thank you for watching my YouTube videos, reading this blog, sharing my content and clicking on my affiliate links.
It truly means the world to me!
