final thoughts.
Growth has been steady once again, and I expect more of the same in the peak summer months of June, July and August.
At the end of April, the aim was to get 15 articles published on the website. For May, 11 new articles were published.
Last month I was optimistic that the website would breach the $100 earnings mark for the first time. It did it with only display ads, so that’s another milestone achieved.
