It's Been Nearly Two Months.

and I'm still as enthusiastic as when I first joined WA! In the past I've tried many different things and always got distracted, never returning to them. As a result, I've felt as though I never really accomplished anything. This time it's different.

WA has helped me set up my very first blog and start creating content from the very beginning. I've always been a perfectionist wen it comes to anything I create, but WA made me realise that it's not about being perfect. It's about being yourself. Up til now, I've posted around 15 blog posts (all have been indexed, yay!) and, so far, my website is getting 200+ views a month. I know that if I keep going, that will soon grow!

Choosing a niche that I care about has been an immense help in helping me stay motivated and keep going. The great thing about my niche - natural relief from anxiety and stress - is that I've experienced it myself and have tried many things that I can share with people who are in the same position. Being able to help others and (hopefully!) earn a living from it is a dream come true.

Whereas before, I was skeptical that my message would resonate with people, or that anyone would even be interested in reading my articles, now I've connected with people who do understand. I'm hoping that when my traffic grows (yes, when!) I'll be able to connect with and help more people.

My goal for the next 3 months is to keep posting consistently! Also, continue to grow my social network following, so that I can reach more people. I'll continue to research affiliate programs and products that I can promote on my website, but sprinkle in a few personal non-profit blog posts here and there. I haven't yet finished the online certification courses, so I'd also like to have completed those! At the moment, I'm on Course 4, Lesson 7 :)

As for the next 6 months, my goal is to begin earning a real income! It may be small in the beginning, but I think that seeing the potential in my blog as a source for a stable income will give me even more motivation to carry on posting.

Here's to the next 6 months, doing what I love! :)
