Didn't expect to make money from my website yet!

I remember asking Kyle when to expect to see some income and he said if I'm sticking with the process, I should see some income by the 3 month mark. So I marked May 15 on the calendar in my phone as my 3 month anniversary and followed his advice. Yesterday was May 15 and I found out that I made my first $12 at the end of April and didn't even know!

I aimed to post three times a week but just couldn't do it. So I focused on twice a week and was determined to work my way up to three posts. That didn't happen too. I had to have surgery at the end of March and was struggling to even push out one post a week. I was very dissappointed with going from 2 posts to 1; especially when I was trying to get to 3; but I stuck with it and posted weekly.

Then I had to take a break earlier this month and at that point I was thinking I should probably just look forward to my 6 months anniversary and not the 3 months anymore. As of yesterday, I had gone 2 weeks without publishing any content. Needless to say I was not excited at all. I was just looking forward to getting back on track cause all of this wasn't part of the plan.

Then my phone reminded me of my 3 month anniversary. I sighed and stared at it shaking my head; but I decided I would be grateful for where I started from, all I had learnt here, my new website owner/manager vocabulary, the fact that I enjoy what I do, and everything I may never have known if I hadn't taken a chance to do something completely foreign. I even went back to read my very first post and it made me giggle to see how much of a difference there was between my first and last post. Gratitude is truly medicine.

I went on to check my email as usual and noticed an unopened email I had missed. And that was when I found out I made my first $12! Considering EVERYTHING that has been happening, I was extra super duper excited! The email had actually been sitting there since April 30. So Iinspite of everything, I actually did better than I thought. And it happened within the 3 month mark, just as Kyle said.

One of my goals from the start was to write a blog as soon as I made some money; even if it was only two and a half cents. And I'm glad I am able to check that box!

So I hope someone is encouraged to just keep moving no matter what life throws at you. April was my most challenging month; but all the encouragement I would need today to stay positive and keep moving forward happened in that same April. Who knew seeing $12 could have such an impact?! :)

I'm now 3 months old in WA and I'm still very much a newbie; but I'm much less of a newbie than I was 3 months ago. That's a really good feeling!
