"My Journey To $10,000 a Month": Day 13 - Submitting My Article To Street Articles

The Crazy Guru

Published on March 5, 2013

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

O.k so it took me a couple hours (lol). Its my first article, I think I over did it on the research, spent too much time on the keywords, had my keywords, then changed them (ugh). Once I completed it I actually was very pleased for it being my first article. By the way I personally used the "Organic Milk Case Study" that you can find here at WA, it was written by Kyle. It totally helped me from beginning to end while I was writing my article. And then a monkey wrench is thrown into the mix. I selected save draft because my computer was acting up...again!. I copied so I could paste to my note pad just in case and at that very moment my computer froze, and I rebooted. As you know I have been having problems with this for a few days now. I know I need a new laptop, and this confirms it. Anyways, I restarted and I opened browser to street articles and I kept getting a message 503 Service Unavailable. I'm sure its my computer and not the site. Yet I'm able to open the wealthy affiiliate site as I'm here writing about it. One can only sympathize :)
I suppose I will turn my system off for the night and cross my fingers that street articles saved my draft. If its not saved I will have to re-do. I'm a bit bummed cause I feel that I have spent a bit of time on this area, but at the same time I have in my mind that this is my first time around, its my training and that once I complete my course, my four levels... it will get easier and faster the second time around. I am feeling a bit disappointed, but not defeated.
Tomorrow is another day, I will awaken with a positive mindset and determined to climb over this hill. In fact as you know I'm a runner and first thing after a nice big bowl of fruit and naked juice I'm going to do a 4 Mile run which 2 miles is mostly uphill. This will motivate me, that if I can run that hill, I can get over THIS hill. With a little perseverance and a little motivation anything is possible. I really like doing this, so I really need to stay focused and motivated especially when everything is going awry. CARPE DIEM
