Oh my gosh. It's been 3 weeks into the month of July and I still haven't wrote about my month of June. I've been busy helping my parents prepare our house for sale and working more at my part-time job. It was super tiring! There's still a lot to do, but luckily, I've got a bit of time to myself now and I can blog again. So although it's about three weeks late, here's my monthly progress report for my twenty-third month here at Wealthy Affiliate.

As always, make sure you check out my last month's report here: Twenty-Second Month of WA - The Money Is Coming

I Didn't Do Anything

This post is going to be a little different. If I am going to be honest with myself, I didn't do anything this month. So there's really not much to talk about other than why I didn't do anything and how I can improve.

Selling our house was a project that our family had delayed over and over again. We pushed so many things back that when our realtor set a firm deadline, we were overloaded by the number of tasks we still had to finish.

So for the entire month of June, our entire family ended up working our butts off every day.

My schedule consisted of working on landscaping in the morning and then lifting furniture and cleaning our house at night.

And then there was working almost full-time hours at my part-time job. I worked from 2 in the afternoon to 8 in the evening almost every day.

If I wasn't at my part-time job, I was doing housework. If I wasn't doing housework, I was working at a part-time job. Plus the addition of a book classes feature for my "local marketing" website had me on customer support status 24/7.

Unfortunately, I wasn't ready for the sudden increase in workload and pretty much did nothing with my blogs.

But on the bright side, working almost 15 hours every day has strengthened me and I feel like working like Elon Musk isn't too far off. I could definitely do a lot more than I was doing for the last two years if I maintain the work ethic I had during these few months.

Local Marketing Is No More?

If you've kept up with me with the last two months, you'll know that I created a website for my part-time job employers and started earning $100 per month from the website.

Originally, I talked about how it was going to turn into a local marketing website... but unfortunately, that's not the case anymore.

During the month of June, the Kumon corporation told the franchise owner (my client) that they could not have their own website due to strict branding guidelines and wanted my client to shut down the website immediately.

However, after discussing what each party needed, I realized we could still keep the website with a compromise.

The compromise was no more local marketing for my client. I would not rank anything on the website or even try to use it to get more leads for my client.

So what's left is an one-page website with the sole purpose of giving parents the ability to book classes for their students.

For now, I saved my extra $100 per month, but I'm going to have to keep providing as much value as possible.

My New Record On Medium

For the month of June, the most interesting thing that happened was on Medium. I wrote the least amount of blog posts since I started blogging on Medium and yet, I earned the most amount of money from the Medium Partnership program.

Stats:

  • Number of Posts Written: 3
  • Views: 612
  • Reads: 400
  • Followers: 380
  • Partnership Earnings: $9.65

Again, the success on Medium in June came mainly from the efforts of one blog post I wrote two months ago. It was quite interesting how one blog post could do so much.

It is unlikely that I will break my June record since for most of July I've been doing housework and working at my part-time job, but I will do my best to beat it.

Time To Blog Like Crazy

I haven't done much in June and not to mention July either so I won't list all the other details I normally list.

But I did take a peek at some of my stats for July and there were some very exciting things happening with my blogs. I'm finally seeing the light now and the power of Wealthy Affiliate's training.

Even when I'm doing something else, I'm earning money and it's all from the effort I put in one or two years ago. And I didn't even put in that much effort before.

What if I put in 10 times the effort now? We'll find out in a few months.
