I read that thought:
Too many people, when they make a mistake, stubbornly persist and so naturally repeat their mistakes. Many people believe in the motto: "Try and try again", but I think it would be better like this: "Try, stop and think. Then try again." - William Dean Singleton
And reflect on myself. What do I do when I try to achieve something?
I try again, always knowing that if I don't get something right, I'm obviously not doing it right. Make no mistake, how much I am earning from my blog at this stage is not a failure! It's a success because I wanted to make money from my blog and I'm really doing it! Yeah okay I know you'll say yes, but it's not enough to survive!
Exactly! I'm making a living, but it's not enough to survive. So it's not true that I don't make money! I can find a way to earn more than I'm earning now! Which means that I can find alternative ways to get more money from the same blog on a monthly basis. Which is by no means a failure or a mistake. Just because it's not enough to live on doesn't mean that I'm doing something wrong with this blog that I've been writing for 5.5 years! It is not wrong at all.
I go back a little bit to the beginning, when I thought that writing a blog was an interesting thing for me and when I said that writing about hobbies was really boring and that it was not a good topic for my blog.
BUT I can tell you that at that time it was already planned that there would be 2 blogs at some point! And, there were really countless ideas written that I don't know exactly where they are anymore, but I can really find them! Anyway, I soon realised that this blog could help a lot of people. My plan was to help 1 person anything more is just an added plus. I tell you that today I know of at least 5 people who have been helped by reading my blog to feel at least a little bit better because the posts are not long (with exceptions like this one) because who can take 30 min in a day to read 1 post? Yeah it's easier 2-3mins isn't it? That's why my posts are shorter and I try to keep it that way!
Coming back to the present, I think that my blogging efforts have long been paid off, because another 1000 views and my Slovenian will be at 60.000 views in 5,5, years! Meanwhile, this blog has 33,000+ views in about 3 years. In short it's not a failure it's just a step towards more income or a step towards better ideas and finding ways to make more income maybe with other sources anyway.
That is what I wanted to say today, because I improvised the post and I wanted to give a really good example, and I think I have done that very well.
