I know I don’t normally post on the weekends but I logged in today and saw the Feedburner feed count had hit 100! Blogging Experiment has been online for about 45 days and to have hit 100 subscribers already is, in my opinion, a great sign. Other blogs have certainly grown faster, but countless have never even reached 100 subscriptions either. When you throw in the fact that I’ve not leveraged any of my other websites when launching this one, I’m pretty darn happy with making it to the century mark in only a month and a half. Here’s a look at the count over the last 30 days.

I hope I’ve documented every step I took and every marketing method I’ve used but if I missed something or you have a question about an action I took, please don’t hesitate to ask. In fact, I’ve dedicated Monday’s to answering readers’ questions so seriously, don’t be shy.
In terms of making money with this blog, it’s on it’s way but I’ve also got a long way to go if I am going to reach my goal of a full time income by the end of the year. I’ve had a couple referrals this month to Text Link Ads, which pay $25 each, so I’m about 1/100th of the way there for the month.
Also, I’m still 45 days away from being eligible for programs like ReviewMe or PayPerPost so I’m not too worried about the income level just yet.
Anyway, I should probably get out of here before the wife realizes I’m posting on the weekend. I just couldn’t help it when I saw that nice round number in the feed count. Have a great weekend!

2Thanks Patricia! To be honest, it seems like I’ve been going for a lot longer but hopefully the growth trend will continue and I’ll keep coming up with useful stuff to post.

4Congrats! You are giving me some hope! We launched our blog about a month ago, and currently at 45. Of course another 55 in 15 days might be a bit ambitious, but you’ve ignited the competitiveness in me! : )

5Congrats. I’d be happy with just 50 subscribers. Ok that’s a lie, at this point I’d be happy to get to 25.
