Summary of the Week
I don't think much has happened, I've written no doubt but less, oh, I had my highest single-day sales so far this week ($253), and my traffic has crossed 2k, the highest ever. My site is pretty seasonal, I'm a bit anxious knowing from Jan the traffic would drop, so, I'm trying to get myself to put out so many articles, these articles should start getting traction by next year April.. It's crazy, I feel this wave would be short-lived so I'll milk it as much as possible, also, next year Jan, I'll float out about two sub-niches, I have one ready. These sub-niches aren't heavily seasonal like my main site.

Moving Forward
My next update or update after next (Saturdaysss) would be my last for this year, on 24th Dec, I plan on turning off my laptop, logging out of every platform, Amz, GSC, My Wp Dashboard then I'll go have fun, I deserve to rest man!!!
Ohh, not to forget, I've been so anxious with this so-called "Helpful System Update" that the Big G's released on 5th, I felt we'll have a peaceful December...SMH!

NitroPay has been awesome SO FAR, I still plan on testing Mediavine if I maintain the 50k sessions I'm currently on although I doubt it, I'll love to see that juice everyone claims Mediavine has.
Moving Forward
This is my last update for the year, on 24th, I plan on logging off and resting, this year was awesome and I hope, pray and wish that next year would bang too, I I believe God got me.
Yeah!! @Kikerinka , your prediction came through, even more, this month earnings are already at $3,300+, by my prediction it should be $3800+ by the end of this month.... This is massive NGL.
Plans for Next Year
Work on the second site and add another bringing me to three sites. For January and probably February, I'll be pretty busy also, I'll focus on the other website and leave this one, I expect earnings and traffic to go low next year, I mean it is Q1 and my niche doesn't really perform well in January although I'm praying for at least $1000 monthly for the first few months.
I should employ someone to write on the second site I'll float out. I might start a YouTube channel for my main site.
Testimony
In the first month of next year, I should be moving my dear mother to a better house while in the second month, I'll be relocating to a new state while I start working on leaving my country to chase a dream I've been longing for in Canada.
These are wishful thinking and I hope they come through. I'm one realistic or should I say pessimistic and anxious person, I'm always anticipating something bad while being grateful to God, in Lil Wayne's words "Prepared for the worst, praying for the best" or in Jay-Z's "Hoping for the best expecting the worst."
For some reason, I prefer this state it seems to work for me, keeps me on my toe and keeps me humble and hungry.
Again, this year was fire!!!! It was superb!!! Gave a blissful Christmas and happy holidays!!

Super happy for you mate, you definitely deserve it! It is also a great example that things can turn quickly in IM, and not always to the worse 
.
I remember a point in time when you were close to abandoning this website. Few months down the road, and you have made in a single month more money than people in your country make in average in a whole year. Congrats and enjoy your rest, you deserve it.

2023!! New Year
Hey guys, happy new year, I hope everyone is excellent, and I really wish every one of us the best this year, and I hope we strike those goals and achieve a whole lot both in mind, finances, and body.
So, a recap of last year....... concise.
So, after losing my content writing job in 2021 around September, I could stay afloat a bit thanks to some little crypto environment, but it did finish.
It got pretty bad that I started 2022 with like $80 at most. To put it into context, I started this year with about $600... Massive growth.
So, last year around April (25th), I took my niche blog of almost two years old seriously; I started an aggressive content push and detailed KW research as possible; well, the results spoke for themselves.
I got struck by a Google Algorithm update on 18th July, and I recovered on 14th August or so... Around here was probably when I got into @Kikerinka DMs!!! A very great person.
During the course of last year, I dished out over a hundred and fifty posts, deleted some old posts, updated some, and, well, thank God!!! I did see the results.
My site is heavily seasonal but can perform out of season too, maybe, very rare, but possible. I performed best in Q4.
Latest Update
- Made over $5000 in December.
- Had over 50k Monthly Traffic
- Got accepted into Mediavine (this month, though)
What's Next?
When my site got struck by Google's update in July, I floated another site; currently, I'm working on that site. I was able to employ some friends to write for me, with not too many payments, and they are mainly doing it for the experience and write at will; I can't pay them much now cause there's just so much financial responsibility on my neck now, I can't go into details, but God knows when everything is settled if we still in business I'll increase it a whole lot.
So, I'm trying to grow my other site to a certain point before I continue with my main site. Getting into Mediavine motivates me to work some more, and I can't wait to get back on there. To be honest, I don't feel motivated to work on this new site, but in this game, we have to diversify or be at more risk.
Uhmmm!! I don't know what to say again.
Meanwhile, my site's traffic has dropped by like 75% when compared to last month, but I have a feeling it will grow; no, it isn't some algorithm strike, I'm still getting ranks for KWs, and between November and Dec, I dished out over fifty articles I believe would rank between Feb and March. Ohh and fewer images this year, what do you think?
Cheers to the new year, guys!!! By God's grace, I'll win some more... I'm a man of faith, a Catholic, and I STRONGLY believe in The Blessed Virgin Mary; I know she was instrumental in this growth and my growth generally; I wear this shoe, so I know how it fits me.
Thanks for sparing your time to read, have a great year!!

Hey great journey! Any update for the month of January? You mentioned something in your previous update that the traffic is down, did you recover? I hope your site is doing well, both of them actually.

Hey, I currently have a lot on my plate, by God's grace, come upper week, I should be settled, my site is a seasonal site, but I believe I can work as much as possible to attract as much traffic as possible and I plan to do that when I am settled. Thanks for checking in, I appreciate.
