The 1000-Days Blogging Journey
Welcome to my blog! I've decided to embark on a journey to monetize my blog within the next 1000 days. I know, I know—you're probably thinking, '1000 days that's almost 3 years'.
Well all the experts say that's the way to go. You just need to google 'howt 2 make money online' 9 times out off 10 blogging comes out in the top 3. Most off it we all have tried at some point. Or at least I did... All not panning out.
I've tried it all, from drop shipping and affiliate marketing to trading and social media, and I'm done with all the empty promises. I'm tired of falling for the hype and false claims of financial security. If it's a blog I need to create to make money, and if it's going to take time, well, Damit then here I am.
Why I'm Doing This
I've heard countless times that blogging is a great way to make money online, but I wanted to see for myself if it's really true—especially here in South Africa. I'm not just here to share tips and tricks; I want to document the entire process—the good, the bad, and everything in between. I'll be posting about my daily efforts, weekly reflections, and the struggles of trying to get my blog off the ground.
If you've ever wondered what it takes to turn a blog into a source of income, you're in the right place.
What to Expect
Transparency: I'll share my progress, including visitor stats, earnings (when they come), and what's working or not. No sugarcoating, just the raw facts.
Realistic Goals: My goal is to reach $300-500 per month by day 1000, which is approximately 3 years. It's not a get-rich-quick scheme, but a realistic target. I'm here to show you the real process, without the hype. It won't be easy, but I'm committed to sticking with it for 1000 days.
South African Perspective: Monetizing a blog in South Africa comes with its own set of challenges, from payment methods to audience reach. I'll explore these obstacles and share what I learn along the way. Together, we'll navigate the unique landscape of online income generation in our country.
The First Steps
Today marks the first day of this journey. I'm starting with the basics—setting up the blog, choosing a name, and outlining the first few topics I want to cover. It's both exciting and a bit overwhelming, but I'm ready to dive in headfirst. No more excuses, no more broken promises. It's time to put in the work and see what I can achieve.
Join Me on This Adventure
Whether you're a seasoned blogger or someone curious about making money online, I hope you'll join me on this adventure. Let's see where these 1000 days take us! Together, we can learn, grow, and potentially achieve some financial gain through the power of blogging. Are you ready to take the leap with me?
