Triumph at Associated Content!
Well, I logged into my Associated Content page today like I do every day to check for offers on articles I have submitted and see my page view updates and I made it to a Clout 8! That is 8 out of 10! Two more to go before I make it to a 10! Clout levels are based on how high your page views are and I am at an 8 now! Woo Hoo! My friend Laurie finally made it to a 9 and I said by the next update or two I would make it to an 8 and I did! All of my hard work is paying off! I am so excited! It still says 7 on my page but when I log in it says 8. I don’t know when they will update my page for everyone to see. Hopefully soon.
When I noticed that I yelled out loud, “I got an 8 finally”! My husband says, “Whatever that means.” So I explained to him that my page views are getting higher and I must be doing something right with SEO because my articles are bringing in lots of views. So I told him now I need to work even harder to make it to a 9 and then a 10! Of course it will take a while but I will get there.
Another good thing is that my husband and I are getting along a lot better these days. We are finally talking instead of screaming at each other and we are spending more time together. He is helping out around the house more so I can work online. He has also cut back on the drinking and says he is going to try to quit again. Now I am not getting my hopes up about this because this has happened before and then he had a big step back where we would have problems again but it is one step at a time right now. Hopefully he will stay this way, if not I will leave like I planned when I get the money. I do love him and I want our marriage to work but it takes two of us to make it work so he needs to work harder on his part. I have done my part.
So anyway, right now he is cleaning the living room and then he says he is going to clean the bathroom. I get the kitchen but I always clean the kitchen so no big deal. I also have to clean the bedroom but that’s nothing. I will at least get even more work done today with his help cleaning.
So today started out to be a good day! I always say when the day starts out good it will be good all day. So I am going to have a good day today!
