I Made Over $100 From My First Full Month on Medium
For years, I’ve dreamt of making money through blogging. And for the first time in my life, it’s happening. I joined Medium in mid November, and then I joined the Partner Program in the last week of November. In that final week, I made over $5, which broke even for my membership payment. (Note: Medium…

Primeval Pixie ~ NEW BLOG NAME!
I first opened up this blog in 2016 as “Lotus Laura” (lotuslaura94!) Since then, it’s been a great run. I stuck with the name because I know that changing blog names can be confusing for everyone else! Lots of things have changed since 2016. When I first began this blog, it was more about keeping…
Re-introducing days of the week (site update)

A small change
Hi everyone, hope you are all doing okay! To be honest, I’ve been feeling a little frustrated lately with blogging. I’ve been wanting to see more growth and at a faster speed. I hope I can say that without sounding ungrateful for all the growth I’ve made so far. And maybe my expectations are set…
