I'll get to how my $200k Exit Experiment is going, but first, the cover photo.
Man does my heart break for Lahaina and all of Maui. We've spent a lot of time in that town over the years and just watching it disappear from existence was hard to stomach.
The photo above is one I took just off the coast of Lahaina. All of those buildings in the background are pretty much gone. It's hard to even write that out. Below is Amanda and the kids at the banyan tree.
Part of my motivation for this experiment was to increase revenue so we can (comfortably) afford to go back to Maui in March. We've unfortunately had to cancel our reservations but we do hope to get back there soon.
In Happier News, I'm Up 35% So Far This Month
I posted an update last week: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/ivetriedthat/blog/july-2023-earnings-1276-35-a-quick-update

In it, I plugged in my numbers for August for the first 7 days of the month and my average daily earnings grew from about $42.00 in June and July, up to $49.50 for August.
Well, here's how things are looking now:
As you can see, my average daily earnings have jumped up quite a bit. I'm making about $15 extra per day than I had made the previous two months. Part of that is increased traffic, part is better RPMs as well. When both start increasing at the same time, man is it a beautiful thing.
We are only halfway through the month too and things have just been improving week over week. My traffic for the first half of the month is up over 35% compared to the first half of July and week over week keeps looking better and better.
I'm holding out hope that August is my best month of the year so far. Typically, the end of summer is one of my slowest times before really ramping up into Q4.
I've published 27 updates so far out of 60 updates ordered. I also haven't started working on the newsletter yet either.
I'm excited to see what the end of the month will bring (and for school to get back in session so I can properly focus on work once again)
'Til next update.
