Thoughts about this month’s income report:
This month was awesome! If you’re reading through in chronological order, I’m doing the 2022 reports in backwards order, so I don’t actually know yet if this was the highest month of the year, but I’m betting that it was. This is the closest I’ve come to my ideal of a 3 way split between ad revenue, affiliate income and product income. This shows me where the weak point is – it’s clearly in the product income. I could be doing a lot better in that category! It will eventually be my focus, even though I know I should probably focus more on it RIGHT NOW. I really want to finish out the P24 method first.
Did I Meet my Goals for October
If you’ve been reading along, you’ll know all I’m really doing is maintaining the status quo and writing posts. I could be doing a lot more than 3 per month, but I also feel like I’m learning so much still that if I go too fast, I’ll have to go back and redo stuff because I did it before I knew really the best things to do. If that makes any sense?
Goals for November:
- Continue to write P24 posts.
Back Burner Goals:
- I’ll need to update this list for 2023. I think I’ve realized that it’s really important to focus on the RIGHT things, not just any old thing that seems important. Sometimes it takes your life being thrown upside down to really understand why that’s important. (Yes that’s what happened to me from 2020 onward. If you want to know the story, well that’s for another day)
