Last week I hit an interesting milestone… one I didn’t see coming. I didn’t aspire to it, and even after it happened, I wasn’t consciously thinking of it until… a couple of hours ago 😅 That’s when it hit me that something amazing had happened for the first time. See, last week, the CEO of a certain blogging platform reached out to me and asked about the cost of being listed in one of my blog posts. He wanted his platform to be the first in the list. I quoted him $2,000 for 150 words for 1 year. It was almost a joke quote. I wanted to see what would happen… He came back with a “It’s too much,” so I wrote back to say, “How about $1,000 for 150 words for 6 months?” (Slightly dramatized dialogue, but the numbers are real.) He said yes right away! 😂 So… I didn’t even reduce the price. I reduced the term from 1 year to 6 months, and he initiated the bank transfer right away. Milestone because I have never made $1,000 for 214 words (once I wrote the snippet, it ended up being 214 words)… and I only have to keep it on my site for 6 months… unless he renews it. That’s $4.67 per word… 😆 Power of building a platform and running it for 8+ years, eh?
