1,000 Subscribers + Personal Update!

Checking my blog stats, I see that PluginID has now reached over 1,000 subscribers (this fluctuates so you may not see it). If you are reading this via feed reader or in your inbox, thank you! I can’t tell you how much it means to me to reach such a milestone, especially in a community I’m so passionate about and one that allows me to write about what I love.

Many of you may not know, but the message of being who you want to be and living the life you want to live is also my journey. I’m not a guru, I never will be, in fact…I don’t even want to be. But what I do want to be is honest, authentic and committed to fulfilling my own potential while helping others realise their own.

If I’m truly honest, the journey to 1,000 subscribers has taken quite a lot longer than I would have liked. Being a successful internet marketer for the last 3 years, I thought I might be able to speed up the process a little. Not that this has put me off, I’m enjoying the challenge. The 1,000 reader milestone now means I’m starting to enter the league and awareness of some of my favourite blogs and some of the biggest in the world.

Thank You!

Honestly, i don’t think I can say thank you enough. Thank you to:

• Everyone who has left a comment over the last few months
• Anyone that has linked here from their own sites
• Anybody who emailed me in appreciation for my content
• Anyone that helped send traffic via social media sites
• Anyone who has subscribed to the feed
• Most of all: thanks to anyone who doesn’t think I can do this full time, you are my inspiration :)

I know I may be treating this a little like a Bafta nomination, but hopefully that shows how passionate I am about the site and its growth.

Quick Pics of Me

I received a message from one of our most active commenters recently, Denise (I wish she would share her website), about being more personal and sharing some photos from my life and my journey. If you are going to take advice from me, then you need to know that I’m actually living out my own ‘words of wisdom’.

Whether it is becoming abundant with women, friends, finances, happiness, or just doing things I feel like doing (random dancing), I’m trying to improve in all areas of my life.

My Current Journey

If any of you are interested in what I’m doing right now, I’m more than happy to share. I’m currently back in the UK after 16 crazy months in South Africa. I’m still getting used to the snow and the drastic change of pace in my life. For now, I am working from home and literally putting in 14 hour days to make earning online my permanent situation (some of you may have seem the crazy number of guest posts I’m doing).

PluginID is my number one passion in terms of online projects, I’m just not sure I can make the income from the site a liveable source in the next few months without becoming an ad billboard (which I would never do). Therefore, I am working on some other projects but dedicating as much time here as possible.

This is something I really don’t like asking but sometimes you have to let your pride take the back seat. You may have noticed I put up a paypal donate button in the right hand side of the site. If any of you could spare some cash in order to help me continue on this journey I would be forever grateful. I actually earn very little from the site and although money is not my primary reason for writing, I would love to be able to survive from the income. (Of course, donations are completely optional)

With everything summed up, life is going well. I had some exciting family news I would love to share but that would be a bit too personal for now, and I’m happy in all areas. There are things I definitely need to work on, but if you know anything about me by now, I started on them yesterday.

Thanks again to you all, you rock!
