May 2025 by the Numbers

Every month, I share revenue and expenses directly related to my creative endeavors. This doesn’t include my work as a creative services provider working for authors, podcasters, and others, which is the majority of my monthly income (the “day job”).

I share this because you’re either a patron Multiversalist, or you’re a free Multiversalist and I’d like you to become a patron… and it’s only fair you see how your membership (or future membership) offsets expenses and helps supplement and, eventually, replace, my other revenue streams.

Creative Revenue

• Multiversalist patron member dues (net): $8.86, down from April’s $246.68, and for the moment the status quo representing the two monthly recurring members.
• Book and music royalties (net): $7.70, down from April’s $24.90.  Royalty sources broke down like this:
  • Amazon: 71.7%
  • Draft2Digital: 28.3%

TOTAL REVENUE: $16.56, down from April’s $271.58, and down $91.57 from April of 2024.

Creative Expenses

$240.20 in expenses related directly to my creative endeavors in May, including four domain name registrations, software for my website, and the usual monthly hosting and related expenses.

That’s 79% more than April’s $134.03, but 23% less than the $310.42 spent in May of 2024.

Difference:

-223.64

$21.35 better than the balance in May, 2024
