Four weeks ago I made my first dollar from Place Card Me.
Three weeks ago I made 2 more dollars.
Two weeks ago I made $3.
Last week I made $4.
I know this linear week-over-week growth is not going to continue indefinitely,
but in the meantime it’s fun to celebrate the (extremely) small victories.
The last $2 actually came last night while I was asleep—otherwise this would have been a drop in sales.
I also managed another three days of contract work this week and am not showing any signs of unhappiness from it,
implying that I may actually be capable of returning to some more normal work environment in the not-so-distant future.
Good news for my bank account!

Comments
- Published a first pass on a a guide to escort and place card ideas
that I’m hoping adds to the long tail of content marketing / SEO down the road. Also added three more designs.
- Published “The Secret Formula for Getting Traction from Your Writing”.
Didn’t make much progress on anything else on the writing front.
- I decided to build the affiliate-tracking functionality of place card me as a little open source library
for tracking affiliates in django. Hope it helps some other people!
- 24 hours of freelancing again. Still going well.
Time
Everything looking good again. Especially almost 10 hours of running/hiking/surfing.
Week 26 time breakdown
Life
Another Lundy hike off the books.
This one to Muizenberg Cave, another fun little cave in the mountains above Muizenberg and Kalk Bay.
In addition to the spelunking and views we also saw a bunch of whales off the coast!
