Pfff, I need to keep myself motivated!

Pfff, I need to keep myself motivated!

Do you know the story about the miner who was digging for gold and after some time gave up and sold his concession? His buyers dug on and found gold a week later.

For the past months I kept telling that story to myself. The traffic on my website is way too low, about 50 visitors a week(!) and it has been that number for a long time now. And at times I am near to giving up.

Some said I had to wait until I had posted 50 articles.

The next one thought my domain should be at least 6 months old.

It's also said I should have 100 posts.

So, last month my domain was half a year old. A spike to 70 visitors that was back to 50 the next week. Yesterday I have published the 100th article.

I am keeping my fingers crossed until Sunday, that's the weekday I always look at my analytics.

Wish me luck and send me a heart for support. I could use it at the moment. :-)

BTW do you know who earned the most money from the gold rush? The man clever enough to sell the tools. :)
