This blog has been an absolutely fantastic experience. It has been a roller coaster ride to say the least. This month I received my first bit of online income and it was one of the most motivating experiences I’ve had. I’m starting to gain my battle rhythm when it comes to creating content and researching stocks. I plan to deliver a lot more actionable trades in the coming months.
Now to the good stuff!

Congratulations Marvin! Looks like your site is growing phenomenally – you should be proud.
February 1, 2013 at 3:29 pm
Thanks Dustin!
February 1, 2013 at 2:29 pm
Great work on both fronts Marvin! You’re got a really good bounce rate and the average stay is good as well. Have a great weekend!
February 1, 2013 at 3:30 pm
Thanks John. This wouldn’t be possible without the help of everyone in the blogosphere.

Congrats on a great month and getting your first online income payment. That’s got to be thrilling. I guess you’re officially a paid writer now. I’m hoping to be able to start getting some payments for my blog rolling in but we’ll see how it goes.

JC i’m sure you’ll get there in no time. I enjoy following your trades!
February 1, 2013 at 10:23 pm
Congrats Marvin. Some nice trading income for the month as well! Its a high quality site that you have here. I’m sure the visitors will continue to come in numbers.

Thanks Integrator! I’m hoping to average a monthly income of $1,000+ this year.

Congrats on your first money making month. My sister just had her second child, it’s so interesting how the dynamic changes when the second comes along. My nephew recently told my sister that she could take his little sister “back”. He didn’t realize she was going to “stay” with them forever. Kids are so cute.
February 3, 2013 at 11:59 am
Thank you. Haha that’s too funny, kids really do say the craziest things. Our doctor already told us there is going to be some regression with our daughter once our son arrives. I fully expect our house to be turned upside for the first 6 weeks.
February 1, 2013 at 10:30 pm
Great stats! Congrats.
February 3, 2013 at 11:59 am
Thanks Julie!

congratulations on your success so far in 2013. I look to forward to seeing you around in the coming months.

Thanks Brett, I look forward to seeing you around the blogsphere as well.

Congrats on the first online income – it’s all downhill from there, even if you don’t really try that hard, heh.
BTW, 2.27 pages a visit? Color me impressed.
February 3, 2013 at 12:23 pm
Haha I certainly hope so PK. I am still wrapping my head around SEO, Google Analytics and a couple other metrics maintained by bloggers. Hopefully over time I can increase my metrics even further =)
February 2, 2013 at 2:27 pm
Congrats on the income Marvin. Investing is definitely something that society needs to take more seriously. Without investing some of your income it’s almost impossible to become financially independent.
February 3, 2013 at 12:24 pm
I agree Justin, in hindsight I wish I would have been introduced to investing a lot earlier in life. Maybe I’d be a millionaire by now!
February 2, 2013 at 3:32 pm
Congrats on smashing your goal! I’m impressed with your time on site stats – 3+ minutes is a really strong number!
February 3, 2013 at 12:26 pm
Thanks Elizabeth, I’m starting to learn what all these metrics mean. I’m glad I can add value to the blogosphere.
February 3, 2013 at 3:18 am
Have fun at your brother’s birthday, what are you going to get him? Looks like you’re doing an excellent job with the blog :0) Keep it up.
February 3, 2013 at 12:29 pm
He will be receiving nothing from me other than life advice from his big brother =) Thanks for the kinds words, hopefully I can continue to grow and add value to peoples lives.
February 3, 2013 at 7:02 am
Very nice stats. Congratulations on getting your first online income this month. Keep up the good work on the blog.
