When I started writing my blog, about 14 years ago, I used follow a blogger by the name of Pat Flynn. For many years, it seems that he could do no wrong. He would post his revenue reports and everything was up and to the right. He inspired me and he inspired thousands of others.
Somehow, he made me believe that if I started my own blog, within a couple of months, me too… my revenues would go up and into the right as well.
Well, I am here to tell someone, that it hasn’t turned out to be like that. I am still struggling as a blogger. My revenue does not compensate for the hours of work that I put into my blog, and some times, like this month, instead of going up, it goes down.
Regardless… I am learning how to write, and how to think more clearly and I am enjoying the process. I want to stick with it. I can make money in so many ways, I have the capital to start one business or the other, but writing and thinking makes me grow and feel better about my self, so I will continue writing and thinking. And if you are reading this post… I want to thank you for your attention.
During the month of July, my revenue decreased by a lot and I lost followers in Instagram and Twitter. But my end goal is to increase subscribers on YouTube, and those subscribers are going up.
My short term goals are still the same:
- To be monetized by YouTube. For that I have produce more engaging content.
- To increase my website revenue to $2,000/month.
Stay with me one more month.
