This is Isabel's most popular post: What Does It Really Feel Like To Be Pregnant?
I love being able to help other people and the freedom to work from home and have a flexible schedule.
I also love being creative and blogging allows me to do that daily.
It frustrates me that the beginning is so hard and that it takes really long to grow and reach a larger audience.
I know this doesn't happen to everyone, but it does to most bloggers and if you're not persistent, you end up giving up.
I'm thankful to have a really supportive husband, family, and friends. Without their support, I'd have given up a long time ago.
Grow my traffic so I can grow my email list and income.
I see a much larger audience, I see personal growth, and I see myself overcoming my fears and being able to do live videos (which I currently cannot do because fear doesn't let me).
I see my blog income being enough to provide for my entire family.
I'd love to be able to make enough income that neither my husband nor I would doubt even for a second if we'd be able to achieve our dreams as a family.
My husband would be working with me and we would be able to help tons of people to have a thriving home and family life.
So far, affiliate marketing and private promotions. I like affiliate marketing because it's somewhat passive. Once I create a post or include the affiliate product in my email sequence, I don't have to do anything else other than seeing the money come in. However, I don't have enough page views to generate much income from this method. I like private promotions because although I don't have a lot of page views, I can make money this way by posting on my social media.
I have grown my sponsored content income more than I thought possible in the beginning.
This has been very helpful for my family.
Blogging is definitely a long-term thing.
You will put many hours in and sacrifice other things, yet see no big results.
It's not easy, but DON'T YOU DARE give up!
