Another Milestone Reached

For the first time ever, my blog has made over $100 in one month!

Fitting that I should announce this on Labor Day too. A few mild traffic spikes and a $10 commission from Clicky helped put me over the top, giving me a total profit of $114.63 for the month of August.

Breaking the $100 ceiling was a significant accomplishment for me, as I read a long time ago that this was the benchmark amount for determining whether your blog has the capacity to bring in a respectable income. I have a relatively good setup going here to help me achieve that now, so the only thing I need is the traffic to help scale those profits until my goal of making $1,000 a month is finally realized. If that day ever comes, who knows, from there I might eventually arrive at a time when I can make an actual living just from blogging/writing. Do I dare to dream?

In the end, I have to believe that with God on my side and a little imagination, all things are possible:

    Saving it up for that Dairy Queen franchise?

    At this rate it’ll be another 30 years before I can build a franchise here. Of course by that time they’ll be out of business.
