My Third Blog Traffic Report – The Rising Damsel

How I made $8.22 My Third Month Blogging. The Rising Damsel #blogger #incomereport #traffic #tips #help #blogsuccess #socialmediaWe have traction! Do you wake up everyday excited to take one more step towards your dreams? Blogging gave me the ability to do just that. I’m excited to invest time in myself and be able to make connections with like-minded people who are also trying to succeed.

The journey is a breath of fresh air alongside others trying to better themselves. So nice not just dealing with the grind and counting down the hours. To me, freedom means never having to clock in again, even if it means working 100 hours a week, I will do it for myself.

This mantra has kept me strong. For me there is no other option. I was just let go from my job. I’m looking at it as a scary blessing in disguise and I am determined to not waste away this opportunity.

I dashed and rekindled my dreams several times this month. Losing your job is hard. Despite not wanting to work for a company, I did get self fulfillment from helping people find employment.

It was bittersweet, but once I felt freedom, I immediately felt doubt. ‘I’m going to take a chance at blogging instead of immediately jumping onto a new desperate opportunity?’

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!

Genesis Framework made by Studiopress.  $60.00
Tailwind.  $109 for the year
