I often think of the famous quote:
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
Some attribute it falsely to Albert Einstein, well guess what. He did not say that, but it does not make it less true :)
I often use this quote when I discuss with my friends and they tell me of goals or plans that did not succeed. And then, I have two questions for them
- Did you have a strategy?
- If yes, did you change it when you saw it did not work?
There are several ways to evaluate your strategy, and to set metrics and to re-assess, plan and implement.
But this is not the scope of this post.
I plan to predict my monthly earnings from blogging and to post about my strategy. Then I will think of a couple of things I can change (without much extra trouble, because my time is already limited) and then next month, we will see if there will be any change.
We are on our way for the end of this year and we really need to speed up and set goals for 2024!
So what will I do now?
I will use my own stats and try to predict my monthly income (I will post about it on the 1st of October). Then I will mention my simple strategy and see if there is anything that can be done to increase my earnings for next month.
I will only post about hive & medium at this time, because these are the two platforms where I spend more of my blogging time at the moment.
Current Statistics for 18th September 2023 - 
on Hive
My weekly earnings on hive are $23, therefore I should expect to earn approximately $90 for the month (I guess between 90-100)
Current Statistics for 18th September 2023 - on Medium
$57.74 for 18 days, which would mean approximately $3.2 a day or approximately 96 euros a month.
What about my strategy?
- consistency
- daily posting
- engage with other authors
- my themes usually include reports, news about cryptocurrency events, airdrops, tutorials etc
I work hard on staying consistent and post, engage on a daily basis in both these mediums.
Most of the times, I post late evening, after I ve finished all my other tasks.
What I should search for?
Which posts perform better?
Is this different in the different platforms?
Do I explore new content and discover new authors?
Could I change the time I post (i.e. and post in the morning?)
These and several other things could be easily changed and I could evaluate their effects almost immediately.
What would you suggest?
Do you keep track of your statistics, in relation to your actions? Do you often change your actions deliberately and in search of maximizing your potential (in any field?)
I would love to know your thoughts and comments on the above!
