No, I'm not talking birthday. lol

Wednesday I posted my FIFTIETH article written for my website. Almost all of them are at least 1,500 words long. Most are over 2,000, since that became my "norm".

I don't know if it's coincidence or not, but this week I'm also starting to see a rise in my daily traffic. Was it my latest post just reaching more people? Is it because I'm filmiong video interviews now?? Is Google just deciding I've paid my dues and deciding to spritz my site with Google juice at last??!

Who knows. Could be all of the above. I'll just take the progress and keep on truckin'.

Amazon is currently my affiliate link company and I don't think that'll ever change, tho' I hope to have some other options one day. Through Amazon I've managed to prompt 106 clicks, snag 12 orders, of which 5 of them have shipped. That has earned me a whopping $5.25 so far.

Party on my yacht!!

Okay, maybe not, but it's a good start I think for being only four months into this. At least I'm seeing stats rise, albeit slowly, in the right direction - UP!

Two weeks ago, I also started to see 5 to 10 of my posts being looked at every day, instead of just 3 or 4, or my latest one. It must be Google is extending my reach somehow.

How about you? Are your sites progressing? Are you writing, writing, posting, posting, repeating, repeating??

I hope so. It takes work, but we're our own boss, and soon the scoffers will see this boat float... on a beautifully rising tide!

Best of success to you from all your efforts!
