now what?

certification done, now what?

certification complete... wow. I learned so much yet what do I know really? I don't know. I can write an article and know my subject well... Art and design have been my life for all of my life so that part was easy... yet I have been doing this online thing since April... still have not ranked (that I know anyway). That is disappointing, I have to admit. I know art and design, share my knowledge - some with affiliate links, others without... but either way I now have to keep motivated without results or "lessons" to keep me going. It's all me now..... yikes!!!!

I have heard the 90-day syndrome has hit - that time period in which I have been working my tail off and still do not see results so it goes from excited to do this to why am I doing this anyway? and having to work hard to keep motivation up. worse, its summer break and the kids just want to go play so I have to not only resist the urge to do zero articles and just play with them but force motivation that's hanging by a thread to write an article a week (which I know is about two articles less than I should be doing per week) but I cant make the kids sit around here all summer, so a break for them is important........

So glad to have completed the certification course but praying something grows a little and soon - seriously, even a dollar or two would be motivating. So having finished courses I have mixed feelings. I still have hope for where this can go, so I choose not to give up, but sure working hard to keep motivated.

what do you do when you are feeling bummed and not motivated? I feel as though I should be more excited than I am or more motivated. Since school got out I have not been writing as much and wonder how much that is hurting my forward movement to making income happen.
