We ARE 1,000 and Counting…

1000 follows

I received this badge several days ago and after doing a jig and a wiggle of the waist dancing, I made myself a homemade cup of Caramel Macchiato to drink to my health and yours, then I filed it away to mull over it for a little bit.

I didn’t get here all by myself, but I got here through all of you and it’s to all of you that I raised my mug.

A MILESTONE! Yup! That’s what it is and it’s been a jolly good ride.

When I started blogging 9 months ago, I started without expectations and now I feel like I am pregnant with so many expectations.

Each day, the building blocks of my mind gets firmer and my aspirations more refined that I am able to see many doorways opening up.

When I started blogging I thought I would just write my mind and maybe occasionally, some person will stop by and say hello, but to my amazement and I still stand amazed each day, I see so many faces stopping by to say hello.

I had told myself at the very onset that I am doing this first for me and to never lose focus of that by running after things that are simply peripheral.

However, if truth be told, I also told myself that there will come a time, when a labourer should have some just reward for his/her efforts.

I am actively searching for ways for my labour to earn something and as a way of marking this milestone, I am going to apply for WordPress to add WordAds to my site and I will also explore the affiliate marketing programs to find what would suit me.

I will definitely keep you informed on what my learning lessons are and the benefits as well.

I have always believed that when we share resources, we only get better and when you lift others, you equally rise along with them.

To Our Sustained Growth. Thank you for helping me to grow.

    1. Dear Philip, thank you very much for your kind wishes. Well, I know that you write pretty well, so the writing part is covered. I had to do a whole lot of networking, reading lots of blogs each day and then participating in different challenges offered by other bloggers. I had to get a whole lot more social to shake my numbers and that was pretty much what I did and still doing.

      1. Thanks for the tips. Participating in more challenges sounds good. Will do a search during my next day off & see which fun ones I can find. Naturally shy, so getting more social could be a challenge. Will give it a go also though.

I am sure you will regain your numbers and more with our tea/brunch meet-ups which will hopefully take place every 5 to 6 weeks. It will help all of us grow some more. My regards.

  30. Congrats my dear sis!!! I have been attending blogging courses this week that will help me improve and eventually monetize my blog as well. Although I have a ways to go to catch up to your stats, I’ve learned that blogging is not a competition and we can all succeed wherever we might be at the moment. Please do keep us up to date on your ventures, you will do exceedingly well, my dear! 😀
