Heyla, WA!
This post is going to be quick today as I'm so freaking tired that I just don't have the energy to write a long one right now. So list post coming up!
The Good
September was a pretty boring month and exhausting, but I did have some achievements. Which is cool because my site is only coming up on 4 months old!

- Posted Every Friday like Clockwork
- Had a post of 4900 words! (ouch!)
- Created my first list post (with affiliate links).
- All of my stats have increased well, from visitors to followers and even a subscriber!
- Connected with another feral cat blogger on IG.
- Made a random sale from my first 'practice' website ($3 bounty awarded to me)
- Got a small income from Amazon and WA this month (used for my membership of course)
- I got accepted by a few affiliate programs
- I got accepted by Alley Cat Allies for their Feral Friends Network (not necessarily a website thing, more of help people with TNR problems locally)
- Ran an ad for likes on FB successfully, with a SUPER small budget ($1 a day for 5 days). 6% conversion rate. 30 new likes from that campaign alone, and my FB page was very new.
- I get massive engagement on IG and FB is close second. Twitter.... I don't often post enough I don't think. You really need to be active there. Pinterest, I'm working on it. It's the lagging one. Linkedin... not great for my niche, but I post there too.
The Bad
Not everything was sunshine and rainbows though!
- Still battling energy levels/motivation/pain
- Still battling kitty problems
- I need to figure out how to resize my featured images because one turned out HUGE.
- My laptop charger cord got ate by a kitten, so I replaced it. The replacement is causing my computer to slow down. Crazy, right?
- There's a new horse in the barn keeping me awake ALL night. I'm so freaking tired.
Personal
It's still hot as crap down here in Louisiana and I cannot wait for winter right now. Apparently, autumn is not a thing here because it's just not cooling down!
I also received an Advanced Readers Copy of a book by one of my favorite authors EVER, who is mainstreamed published, so I am going to work a little on my book blog as well this coming week.
