Feeling accomplished despite yesterday's Monday "blues".

Pushed out two articles I have been working on past few days, simultaneously while working on making my website looking nice, pretty, functional and most importantly organized, and catching up on the Certification Courses and other training from others in WA as well as sending my love to others in WA and in their SMs as well.

First article of the two mentioned was pushed out was end of yesterday. IT WAS MY FIRST REVIEW! Worked on it the whole day. It was a finished draft, and I didn't have the time to finish cleaning up bits and pieces that needed to be cleaned up. Posted on my SMs as well using HootSuite. Checked off 5 tasks with one review.

• Lesson 4 - Adding Affiliate Links to Your Pages
  
• 2. Add at least 3 affiliate links to your content
  
• Lesson 6 - Leveraging Product Reviews
  
• 2. Write and publish a review (make sure to include affiliate links)
  
• Lesson 8 - Earning Pennies OR Dollars?
  
• 1. Add both advertising and an affiliate link to one of your pages or posts
  
• 2. Add an affiliate promotions to one of your pages or posts
  
• 4. Write a SINGULAR product review and add it as a post on your website
  

A few hours after publishing the article, it looks like I had 3 likes on the article. I have a WP Socializer widget. Not sure if those were legit likes, but hey. I know I didn't cheat on those likes, so it is most probably legit. I was ecstatic! Yes, just 3 likes ON THE REVIEW ITSELF made me SO happy, haha.

So today, I cleaned up the article first thing in the morning. Found out about ThirstyAffiliate plugin, where I can consolidate all my affiliate links. Cleaned up the links as well. It looks SO nice to have personal links as compared to amzn or bitly links showing up on hover. I also configured how I want my personal images that I use to post on the pages to be, using https://pixlr.com/express/ (so that I can apply the same configuration of settings on both mobile and PC version) and Powerpoint (haha, yes, to watermark it).

Cleaned up on the excerpts, renamed my medias, inserted the Alt, set featured images, tinkered with a bunch of plugins. Dang, I LOVE plugins. Feeling SO cleaned up.

Finally finished the second article of the two mentioned above, which is a personal journal regarding my first pregnancy.

SO looking forward to doing the rest of my Journal 1 in my website!

Oh yeah. There is this one thing that strikes out to me. I am currently ranked 1211. From 13k to 1k in a month. How the HECK did that happen? I understand being involved in the community will improve rankings, but while I do have vision of someday being "up there", from 13k to 1k in a MONTH is like.. Super fast! WHile I am definitely happy, I am puzzled. But hey, who don't like happy things, right? Hehe

That's all for today!
