My Goal to Afford an Apartment with My Blog
In my last monthly income report, I wrote about one of my goals. That was to make enough money to be able to pay for an apartment in Germany using this blog. Last month the income of this blog was $162.25 (not at all enough for a place). I set a goal of reaching $400 by the end of this month which would pay for an apartment. By setting this goal it gave me a reason to work harder on this blog. As of November 24, I’ve surpassed this goal and reached $900 with my blog. Not only did I meet the goal, but far surpassed it.
How I Reached My Goal
First I kept my goal reachable, I knew it was possible to reach $400 with this blog. I knew it would take extra effort but I could do it. Everyday I worked harder to bring more people to my blog. I doubled my advertising to gain traffic to this blog. Lets face it, traffic=money when it comes to websites.
Keeping traffic=money in mind, I sought to increase my traffic everyday. I set aside time each day to research how others gained traffic and I spent time advertising. There were times I thought reaching this goal wouldn’t be possible, but in case I struggled through it. You can’t reach your goals by giving up!
