Moolah March

I just had a fun Fund Feb focused on money and money habits. But I don’t feel like I’m done with that theme just yet, so I’m extending it. First time ever I’m extending a theme for another month. Looks like it’s serious now.

The other reason for this extension is also because of one of the failures of Fund Feb – I had done a lot, but it didn’t move the needle on revenue at all.

Zero. Zlitch.

No new subscribers to Lifelog. No web design projects on Sweet Jam Sites. OK I got $120 from Keto List, but I didn’t put any marketing effort into it in Feb, so that doesn’t count. I think besides celebrating my wins, no matter how tiny, I also want to acknowledge that it’s not all peachy, that there are disappointments too. And to be honest, can I really say that a month of learning about money is successful if I didn’t even earn a cent from those efforts? No. I can’t claim any of that in good conscience. So there, I said it. Call it an extension, but it’s probably more accurate to call it retention, like a repeat year in school because you didn’t pass.

All those habits I started in Fund Feb were great, and something I will continue with. But they were all but just a start. The tone of this month is meant to be more serious, so it won’t suffice to just “do 1 task” or say positive affirmations to oneself. I’m looking for tangible results, no matter how small. A dollar that I can attribute to all the marketing and monetization efforts, is “tangible”. But a one-off $1 is under-shooting a bit, so to aim slightly higher and feel more challenged, I’m shooting for these goals:

• Acquire at least 2 new subscribers for Lifelog
• Sell at least 2 copies of a Carrd clone template for Plugins For Carrd
• Get at least 2 web design projects for Sweet Jams Sites

Why two? Because I might be lucky one time, but to be lucky twice is harder, and a better gauge that the marketing and monetization efforts are working. If I fail, so be it. But the challenge is to challenge myself seriously.

Onwards to Moolah March!
