The First Four Months of Being a Blogger
It's really interesting how many different phases you go through as a blogger! I've gone from thinking I could never do something like this to working on my blog every day. I've gone from loving it to hating it back to loving it. It's all really been an interesting ride.
Month 1: My thoughts on blogging were:
- People really make money that way? Is that a real job?
- I could never do that, I don't know how to build a website!
- Who would ever be interested in reading about what I had to write?
- Maybe I'll try it, what do I have to lose.
Month 2:
-I'm getting no sleep but this is really cool! I'm blazing through the training and it really is something that anybody can do!
- I'd recommend blogging to everybody! Why don't more people do it for additional side income?
- I can't believe how far I've gotten using the training at WA!
Month 3:
- Oh my word this is hard work! I've spent countless hours and made less than $50!
- I would never recommend this to anybody that wasn't determined to stick with it!
- Blogging is a real job, it's hard work, it takes more dedication than any other job I've ever had.
- Blogging is not something you do on the side, you think about it every day, you're always looking for ways to expand and build. Always looking for ways to reach more people...and you get almost no return from it initially
- I've hit that three month wall...how in the world do I push through this!
Month 4:
- I think I hate my blog...no I definitely hate my blog. It takes up more time than I ever imagined, I'm already working 2 full time jobs and getting no sleep. I want to just give up. I can't believe I ever considered recommending this to someone!
- Took a week off from my blog....ok I tried to take a week off from my blog but I just couldn't. I don't really hate it, I love it! I was just getting a little burned out. That week really helped me rejuvenate and I thought of a lot of great ideas for my blog during it!
- I'm excited to jump back in! Traffic is increasing every day, sales are increasing...slowly, but they're increasing. I can do this!
So that's been my four month roller coaster. I still am in awe of the progress I've made. I do love my blog and I'm very excited for everything to come! How has yours been coming?
