Chapter 1: Overcoming March's Challenges
March presented its own unique set of obstacles, but as Tony Robbins wisely stated, "There is no such thing as failure; there are only results."

For some, the concept of accepting failure may be entirely foreign. It's crucial to recognize that failure is an inherent part of our human experience, accompanying constants like death, taxes, and change. Success is never guaranteed; multiple factors must align for it to occur.
The recent "purge" that led many to disengage, combined with the CEO's disinterest in reciprocated engagement, made March particularly challenging for many emerging writers who had enjoyed the momentum of growth and excitement in February.
Fortunately, if you're a new writer, adapting to these changes will likely be more manageable. The rules may have shifted, but the fundamental game remains the same: improvise, adapt, and overcome.
I can personally attest to facing significant setbacks in March. It was a tough month filled with bitterness, depression, and frustration. Even though I couldn't foresee the future, I sensed impending challenges a week prior and began seeking solutions. Here’s a summary of my shortcomings:
Failures Overview:
- I developed my newsletter but struggled to expand my email list, gaining only five new subscribers after the initial launch.
- My goal was to reach 500 followers in March; however, I am currently just over 300.
- I aimed to triple my earnings from February, but I will only see an increase of ten dollars.
How did March treat you?
Did you experience the growth you were aiming for?
Were all your objectives met?
It's interesting how setting goals can sometimes lead to unexpected outcomes. While I did face failures, I also experienced some surprising successes:
Successes Overview:
- I managed to produce and upload four YouTube videos this month after struggling for over nine weeks.
- In the last ten days of the month, I developed a new post format that has positively impacted my content.
- After weeks of earning mere pennies, I now make just over two dollars per article.
- I finally cultivated an audience, and it's incredibly rewarding to see familiar names in my comment section with each new post.
Where did you find unexpected success?
Which of your goals did you achieve?
While my progress may seem minimal compared to those who earn hundreds or thousands on this platform, that’s perfectly okay. I’ve learned to stop comparing my journey to others, and I encourage you to do the same!
