Two days into my new challenge, I feel slightly impatient. I’m not making money yet. I’ve logged into all my affiliate accounts. I keep staring at my new blog. I’ve checked out my blog stats at least once. My traffic isn’t staggering. I maybe made a few cents on Adsense. Seriously, I’m a bit frustrated.
Not to mention the fact that I (briefly) entertained the idea that I was going to learn Joomla for my new recipe website. Then I started to think KISS (not as in KISS my you know what) but keep it simple… learning a new platform when I’m already functional at wordpress is just ridiculous. What was I thinking?
So I wanted to make money doing something stable – writing. So I almost logged into textbroker to do some writing. I would have spent an hour and made $10 with absolutely no long-term benefits. That hour would not have built up my blogging empire.
I’m happy to report that I resisted the urge. I didn’t do it. And to celebrate, I came on here to share my happiness with you. The only writing I will be doing is creative writing once my blogging starts making me a decent wage. I have books to write, screenplays to write, poems to write… but I’ve learned that staying focused is going to be… interesting.
I think I’ll go work on my novel now… just kidding. Or am I? Maybe I should just set a goal to write two pages a day. I can surely do two pages…
Okay I get the hint, I should go back to work on my new recipes blog before I get distracted again.
Cheers!
