Okay, as many of you know, I am a freelance writer. I am going to buckle down for 30 days to optimize THIS blog and generate a real, stable income with it. I’m putting myself on a 30 day challenge. Feel free to comment on these articles and give your tips and advice for making money online.
Although I do make money online with my writing gigs…it is time to get serious about my blogging strategy. I am going to list everything I do, every day. I don’t have a ton of time to spend on this blog because I have writing deadlines, but I am going to commit to taking time EVERY DAY to get a stream of income coming in from blogging.
I am using the Amy Bass Program because she is just a regular mom who applied herself and made it actually work for her. I know Amy, she is genuine, no nonsense, easy to understand and will actually take the time to talk to you personally about whatever you are confused about. She basically puts together a blogging program that a 10 year old child could follow. In fact, she taught her mom, who really didn’t know much about computers how to blog. I like her, she’s not arrogant or out only for herself. So, I’m shamelessly plugging her…. Thank you for staying with us during that commercial moment.
Okay, now let’s get down to the business of this blog.
Today is day 1 and it is INCREASE TRAFFIC day.
1. I signed up and submitted articles to BLOG CARNIVAL . It is supposed to be an extremely fast way to increase traffic to your site. We shall see.
That’s it? Yep, that’s what I’ve done today to increase traffic. I’m also going to ad Google Adsense to my blog later today after I finish writing the 4 articles I have deadlines on. I like to keep clients happy. It’s my only source of income right now.
As a sidenote: Each day during these thirty days, I’m also going to make a concious attempt to change the way I view things. As a person who suffers from Post Traumatic Syndrome, I have days of extreme highs where I feel on top of the world, followed by periods of anxiety, loneliness, feelings of impending doom, and an overall weird kind of depression.
This past week since Monday has been extremely bad. Fight with husband caused me to run to a friends empty condo and spend the night alone feeling sorry for myself, next day the water heater burst, Wednesday I got in a car accident, and today I am sitting here encouraging you that Web Success can be achieved.
I believe it can. I’m going to close my eyes, try to find my happy place and just keep plugging away. You can do it, I can do it, we can make it together!

I have seen this program before and I have always wondered about it. I am excited to see how you do these next 30 days. You may just make me want to do this also.
