Things that used to take for ever, now don't take as long to setup and the more you work and learn the more you can use in your business. .-= Normal Joe@Video Marketing Tips´s last blog ..Twitter doesn’t suck it’s probably just you =-.

Your comment made my day. Seriously, thank you! I know exactly how you feel. I try to explain the same thing to people and sometimes I feel like they get a glazed-over look (even if they are on the phone and I can't see them). Just like you said - I'd much rather work day and night for almost nothing for a year, to build up a residual income, than be stuck to the same 9-5 job with maybe a tiny occassional raise, and be earning the exact same amount of money 5 years from now. Just the other day I felt a hint of unspoken criticism about this, that I don't spend more time earning "right now money." And, sometimes I hear a bit about how I don't buy enough nice clothes ... but, just like you said, it's all part of what you sacrifice to make time to really build something up online (clothes, parties ...) and yes, your current income might be lower than usual while you are working on that! I hope things speed up but, as I always say, my residual income increases all the time and that's what counts the most. Anyway, thanks again for the validation! You are welcome to comment here any time :) Hi Dave! Your comment made my day. Seriously, thank you! I know exactly how you feel.

Seriously, it's really hard to explain to people that yes, I am going to earn at least sideline living at this, and yes, I am going to have to live like a pauper for a couple of years until I can cover the nut. So, no, I can't go party every weekend. It will be worth it. For person like you, Anna, who guts it out and gets over the hump, 10 people fold 'em and run. I'm counting on those people! .-= Dave Doolin´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WebsiteInAWeekend/~3/NB1zIMk3vks/" rel="nofollow">Creating Landing And Sales Pages Side-By-Side With WordPress</a> =-.

I hope it continues :) By the way, I use a simple stat counter which is very easy to check, http://www.ewebcounter.com . And Google Analytics. Adsense revenue is also a good metric. But I like to check both traffic and revenue as revenue can be affected by other factors as well. Thanks Mark! I hope it continues :)

I've had a few of those myself, though I haven't really checked in on the traffic specifically. Mostly just noticing a pickup in the adsense revenue. Great job, Anna!
