One month in, lots more to go!

Technically I have been here for longer than a whole month. I spent some time on the free membership learning the basics and got sucked in with the cheap first month of premium offer :) What a scam!

I felt so scammed that I have carried on to the second payment. As I was checking my bank account I saw it had gone out as expected and realised that I was one month in. I have been working on my site and attending Wabinars, checking out training, chatting in chat, looking at and making blog posts and looking at google analytics every 5 minutes and doing that for a whole month.

I am enjoying myself. I have got some good traffic for such a new site, I enjoy the writing ( mostly ) and people are clicking on my affiliate links. Not much but someone is doing it. I hope its not WA members trying to be nice :)

I hit one of my first goals I set. I initially set a sale for the first 14 days. Just the one. I realised that that was not realistic and extended the time out to 2 months. A week or two ago I got $1.71 Canadian pop up into my Ca account. 3 items sold to a single buyer, I get paid. Goal Hit! and earlier than expected.

I have set some goals for this month and worked out a few things I need to do to achieve them.

Bring it on!
