Two more days! Only four articles short if I can finish this one!
No way that I would let anything stand in the way of completing this challenge! I am just not the type of person who would let that happen!
I must say, this challenge is exciting, rewarding and a little bit trying BUT I enjoy it and WILL complete it!
The last time, when I wrote about this challenge on Day 17, I fell behind seriously, due to my teaching commitments. Yes, I could say that and it would be true but you know what? It is always an excuse. Just an excuse. I always said that we always find time for whatever we want. One can sleep less, waste less time, watch less TV or get more organize, even think, write and type faster! Would you agree?
The same way it is true for business building. We always find the money for whatever we want to find money for! BIG LESSON! BIG BIG LESSON!
Desperate times require desperate measures! My desperate measure is giving up all weekend activity- not really, again....- and as my friends say, head down, butt up! Yesterday and today I wrote many articles and I will keep writing until I finish! Simple.
Just on the news...on my progress. I still had no time to study any of the tutorial emails. I just read them in bed on my IPad in the morning or at night and that's all. Learning about the website Jaaxy on keywords and checking out what Wealthy Affiliate has to offer just have to wait.
It might be great but I can live without them at this stage. It is Street Articles' money making exercises anyhow. I have no question that they are great and useful but we could subscribe to so many great things that is amazing. This is definitely one thing that I have learned in the last eight years of MLM business building life. To be smart and not to jump into spending too much money before you make money! Of course, it is true that you can't make money without spending money....but be sensible!
I have seen too many people who were almost broke so they got into MLM to build a business and make money but at the end they went bankrupt because they just kept spending and spending but not enough money was coming in! I might add, it was not the business, it was their attitude to money!
So tutorials, Jaaxy and Wealthy Affiliate are on hold until I submitted all the 30 articles and can breathe again and have time to sit down and check those clever things out and see if it is worth using them and subscribing to them! I have not done any timing of my writings either.
However, it is clear that I have many ideas for articles, I don't suffer from idea blockage! I write fluently and faster and faster as a result of the submitted 36 articles since joining on 7th July, 2013. This is good and I am very happy with that.
What amazes me is that my articles have attracted so far 506 profile views, 3243 article views and my author rank today is 9. I am not writing this to brag! I am also very aware that there are people who have done much better! I am on no competition with anyone, just myself! I am writing this because I did not even think when I started that anyone would be interested in what I write, what I have to say and in the fields and varied topics I am interested in. Even my links seem to work and attract people to click on them. Just imagine how much better they will work if I master what information is included in the tutorials! Yey!
On the personal level, I very much enjoy writing. More and more as the challenge goes on. I definitely see myself continuing on Street Articles and with my other publishing activities. On the personal growth level I am quite surprised how much fun and how satisfying this challenge has become.
I always had some quite strong opinion about things I was involved and cared about. Like music, music education, conducting, education, culture, arts, health and of course, occasionally politics and relationships just to name a few. I am definitely the leader type and always have been...
While at the beginning I was quite careful not to upset anyone or stir things, now I can't care less. I even started to share my articles on my own pages taking responsibility for my thoughts and writings. It all wants to come out. Thoughts and views that I have suppressed for many years are coming to the surface. It feels great and I am happy with this. It makes me who I am and maybe this helps us to be heard and to stand out from the crowd. To find our niche.
People like my views or not, this is who I am and this is what I vote for! As you probably see, I have become stronger, bolder, more confident in the last 43 days of my life on Street Articles. If no other outcome I will reach here just this, it was worth writing 36 articles!
I definitely owe a big thank you to Street Articles, including Kyle and Carson.
I already made a few new friends here, whose friendship and opinion I very much appreciate. I love reading their articles and looking forward to discovering other fellow writer colleagues and friends. I owe a big thank you to my friend Dave Howard, who introduced me to Street Articles. Thanks Dave!
And one other thing. Those, who read our writing after being submitted and approve it. There were a few times when I really did not like you! However, it only happened a few times and I understand, we have to have rules! You are the first reader of our articles! How I would love to hear you laughing, swearing, being frustrated and being amused by us, writers! However, thank you for reading and approving!
Most importantly, thank you to all YOU Readers, who take the time to read our articles, liking, commenting and sharing them!
Cross your fingers for me, 4 more articles to write!
Cheers, Piroska
You've done brilliant and you'll do it no doubt. Be proud of your self. I've still got what seems like a long way to go + I'm four days behind, my own choise since 5 little kids full time equals lot's of interuptions. You are truly a remarcable, captivating and brilliant writer and I hope that you will keep posting articles here on SA or that you will let me know where else your posting.
Anna, you are so kind and very encouraging. It means a lot. Thank you! You are doing the challenge with 5 little kids around? You are my hero! That's pretty amazing! All the best to you! Later you will look back and think, how did I do this around the kids? :)
Cheers, I try to write when they are not around. Usually every other week is "child free", at least most of the time and sometimes there are fewer at home, depending on sleep overs etc. Right now there is only two at home and they give me time to write at least one article being the troopers that they are :). There is in the middle of the night to when everyone is asleep which is okey once in a while as long as you don't get to tired during their waking hours :).
I hope you will write about them and kids and life around them as well! I think a lot of people would be interested reading your thoughts as mum and being an author around kids!
I`m gonna be up front with you. Article writing on SA is dead. The articles no longer get ranked and you are much better off working on content for your website. And I say this as the current number 1 ranked author.
Chip, thank you for your honest opinion! That's a little disheartening...What happened to article ranking? I see that someone who wrote a review on 50 shades with no biog and hardly any other writing sits on the top so that makes raking a little unfair...However, I believe that good quality persistent work wins here as well :)
