This past month was a battle for me business, health, and emotionally. Even though the month was very short it was jam pact with a lot of work and I even played some poker. The poker didn’t go so well but the business sure did on the count of people wanting to help out with my health. I went to the doctor (finally) I been having some chest pains for about 6 months. So I went to the doctor and he wants me to go to a heart specialist because he didn’t look how the text came out. With no health insurance, the cost can really get up there really quickly. So I put myself in high gear selling direct ads. This to helpful caring people at PAL. I will be able to get health insurance. I will teach on the emotional part later. Let’s get into the income report and traffic stats.

Well I was thinking the traffic was going to lower but I guess I was wrong. This month I am going to try to make a few posts since last month took up all my time working on websites, selling direct ads, and dealing with personal stuff.

As you can see the thought of something being wrong (a few times I thought about death) made me really produce this past month. Just shy of that $1,000 mark. Before you think about posting the question, how you sell so much direct ads? Read the article called “How To Sell Direct Ads And Find Advertisers”
In The Mind Of Deneil Merritt…
Last thoughts on business before I get into the personal stuff. I have a plan to take this month to the next level and push pass $1,000. Most likely the income will be made in late March as my plan is put into action throughout the month. Im sure everybody will like the numbers and have a few questions.
Last thoughts on health. It may have taken me a lot of pain and freaking out to finally kick my business in gear but I went against what I tell anybody which is health is most important and health comes first. As a young person we don’t really give it too much thought since we feel we are healthy. I can tell you I no longer think that way. Since seeing the doctor my chase pains are worst. I have one thing to handle and I will go see the heart specialist soon. I will keep everybody updated on whats going on and hopefully it’s nothing serious. (HOPEFULLY!)
Now what’s been up with me emotionally. We all know I went through somethings with my ex-girlfriend before finally getting over her. I even joined to work it out with her but she had other things in mind. But this has nothing to do with last month. The one woman I always said was the best for me contacted me on facebook of all places. After 6 years she walks back into my life. Sadly she has a boyfriend but I am just happy to be her friend again. lol the old me wouldn’t care about her relationship but I respect her relationship since I am trying to be a better person in this world than what I use to be. I always get what I want sooner or later so only time will tell with my business, health, and on going romantic drama that my life has become.
Remember, let your desire drive your motivation and everything will work out.

Hi Deneil!
Just stopping by to say that it’s really fun and interesting watching your income go up month by month ~ keep up the good work!
Thanks for stopping by. I wish I can say its been fun for me. A lot of hard work but good to see it go up month after month.
By the way, I am shocked you cut that much hair off. 11 inches is a lot!
A nice result! So close to cracking the $1000 mark, let’s hope you do it this month.
Yeah, I was just about there. As for this month, I am working on it. It’s going to be hard but I know I can do it.
Congrats on the earnings, I hope to achieve your level of success at some point. You are successful with the affiliate / niche sales process.
Thanks, I hope you reach my income levels as well. I wouldn’t say I am a successful affiliate. Most of my income comes from direct ad sales and not affiliate marketing but im working on it.
