I am sitting in the darkness of my livingroom, while everyone else if now asleep. Starting a blog as a mother to a toddler turned out more challenging that I ever imagined. I thought I would have come further but with everything in life, the more you learn, the more you realize you still don't know.

I am so grateful that the pandemic led me down this path of blogging. I really believe that if I continue to work and learn consistently I will also start seeing an income.

When I started, I said I'd give myself 6 months to get the blog earning. Now a year later, there is no longer a deadline. It will take the time it takes, and I will get there!

A Look At The Last Year

Average 1-2 blog posts / week

Earnings:

  • Amazon: $3.47

Last 30 day stats:

All Time Stats:

(July 2020-Feb 2021 Analytics was installed 2x on my website giving me double stats)

3 blog posts ranking 1st page consistently. :)

In January I was so excited because I had a few posts rank at 14

No in July I have 3 keywords ranking on first page (sometimes 5)

Number of Blog posts:

67

Number of email subscribers:

Sending weekly newsletters as of the last month

96

4 Fall Goals

1. Blogging Friendships

I really want to get into a better routine of being active on this platform. Blogging has me feeling a bit isolated and would love to connect witth more people who are in the beginning stages like me.

2. Trainings

I want to set up a schedule where once a week I look at a training on this platform. It kills me knowing that there is just a wealth of knoweldge to be had here and I am not taking full advantage of it!

3. Digital Products

I have come to realization that I would really like to create digital products. I am currently taking a course from Suzie from Start A Mom Blog on how to figure out product ideas, create and market them. I'd like to start seeing some product sales by the end of the year.

4. Two Blogs weekly

I have been only writing 1x blog/ week for the past few months. At the end of August my toddler starts full time preschool which will give me 8 hours of uninterrupted working time at home. I need to go back to 2 posts weekly.

Falling asleep here but would love to hear from anyone who stubles on this post!

Happy anniversary

Congratulations on your one year anniversary.
Hoping that you have many more to come

Been over a year since I wrote a blog. Not much money in it. More of a waste of time to me. More time equals more money in my business. I know one person on the planet that makes money blogging.

Why are you on this platform if you don’t like blogging?

I am also kinda new to this platform......emphasis on the kinda part. This is my third attempt at it, however, I haven't been able to commit to it as much as I'd like because of my busy schedule and need of an income.

I'm also a mother, but I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. With this long-term illness I cannot work, so like I said I've already tried and gave up twice because of needing an income and a lack of support from my husband (which is actually the whole new intention behind the blog I'm working on now, The Fibro Truth).

Anyways, I'm glad to meet another newbie.... kinda, like myself that is in a similar situation!

I have many clients with Fibro. I know it is hard. God Bless You and I hope you recover soon.

Hi! Thanks for sharing! I’ll follow you :)
