Its been mad how much I have been neglecting my work over the past year. Perhaps even longer than this. Just things I have put off like setting up my planned autoresponder series for my health website and setting up best of / money pages on this same site. I have a lot to still do - don't get me wrong but I've definitely felt a lot more excited about blogging and making my next commissions.

I got rid of Elementor finally on my health website. That has been like a huge weight lifted off my chest. I think I even paid someone to make this fancy home page for me but what I will admit now is I hated how slow this was making my site. I have now opted for Kadence blocks and using my blog roll as my home page.

My 2nd website - actually my 1st technically I have had that set up really basic for a good while now and that has been how I've wanted my other sites. I want to kind of go for the same approach on all 3 of my main sites - regular content - money pages / reviews / best of posts and a very attractive offer with good lead capture elements followed by a decent email autoresponder series.

One piece of this puzzle I have to thank Eric Cantu for - for showing me about Elements - hoping to use these a whole lot more now.

I am also diving write in with AI / ChatGPT to help me Improve my content old and new. I've still got so much rubbish to sort out but I'm hoping now if I can just keep working I can make something happen. I actually want to start making money - I have probably only made about $20 this year from all my sites.

Noticed a lot of my links were dead actually. I don't know what effect that has had but now is the time to start doing more. I really need to start sharing some posts soon I think - I have been working like a machine with publishing but I know I can't just rely on SEO - maybe need to go back to basics a bit.

Although, I really want to get certain wheels turning as well. Get all my automations firing on IFTTT and then maybe I can think a bit more about Pinterest etc.

I just need to keep at until I get that next commission that makes me think I've finally cracked the code.

5 years I been a member of WA and I've heard plenty of bad things said about this platform online but one thing I've always thought this could be any platform you've just got to a.) put the work in and b.) set things up that work.

I've done this again and again in the past then I've changed things and messed it up. This time around I hope I can know what to keep in place.

I'm hoping my big asset will become my lead capture elements and my email list. Currently set this up to give away 7 free daily gifts and then I've got my affiliate offers after. Only up to 10 emails right now but YES idea is I can rinse repeat this for all 3 of my sites and just keep adding more cogs to the machine.

Back to the UK tomorrow - had an amazing 10 days in Georgia and Armenia - it will be back to eBay work soon but I will definitely make sure to equally keep up the work with blogging. I would love to go away and make money from doing this so maybe I will try to make this happen more in the new year.

See how the rest of the month goes I guess - will leave this here - goodbye for now.
