Traffic Report 2nd Month Blogging. The Rising Damsel #blog #blogger #girlboss #diy #wahThroughout all of my blogging research, I most enjoy reading blogger’s income and traffic reports as a part of their monthly updates. They keep me motivated and I hope to do the same for you.

The birth of my blog was exciting and scary, in a most welcoming way. A little back story; I cut and ran from a blog I had worked on for six years. It was my longest relationship ever. Over time, my interests evolved and I found it increasingly difficult to produce quality content that I felt proud of. I wasn’t monetized, and I was spinning my wheels with stress and no reward. I knew that it was time to change direction and break free from my old blogging ball & chain. That’s when The Rising Damsel was conceptualized. It was a huge detour, however, the cost of liberating myself was minimal and the gain well worth it.

Blog Earnings – My First Blog Traffic Report for The Rising Damsel

Traffic Report My first month Blogging! What works what doesn't. The Rising DamselMy most favorite find in blogging research is reading about other blogger’s income, traffic reports and monthly updates. Traffic reports share successes, failures, new affiliates and one day I hope to get to report on my own blog’s income.

Starting this blog was exciting and labor intensive. It’s a much different feeling than I had towards my last blogging experience. If you feel like you are spinning your wheels on your blog… just stop! I can’t stress enough how important it can be to cut and run from an old blog and start a fresh one. Don’t fret over the past. Move onto your new found platform for a renewed feeling in freedom of expression.

The cost of liberating myself was minimal compared to what I gained. I really wish that I made the decision sooner. Oh well, late is better than never!
