Um, so there was just so many similarities. That it was kind of like a natural progression, but it was also in my head, like it was a big decision. It was more like these websites are not my full time income anymore. Right. And I, and I just knew that I could have kept doing them full time and try to adjust and continue to learn.
And I’ve done a lot of that on the websites, but I still don’t work on the sites for more than half hour a day. Whereas it used to be, you know, all day. Um, so it was really just literally starting an entire new business, um, from scratch. Yeah. And so for me, it was like 16, 17 years of doing it. I was like, ah, I’ll try something else.
I think that’s, that’s kinda, you know, I was like, ah, I’ve been doing this a while. If things come up and opportunities come up. Um, where I can grow in different ways and, and utilize other traffic sources. Of course, I’m open to that. And today it’s very different. Now people are sort of taking traffic into their own hands, which I think is, is something that I regret not having done myself back in the day.
It’s like, Hey, with all that profit, I probably could have reinvested in ads, probably could have started some newsletters, right. And had some more direct traffic sources. And I’m seeing people do that. And I love it. Now they’re really taking advantage of that. Um, sometimes you can, you know, buy clicks on Facebook or buy clicks on Google and you can, maybe you can break even, or maybe you can even profit.
And I think there are opportunities like that that exist. Um, so it’s nice to see that evolve, but. If you’re, it’s very hard. If you’re growing a site organically from scratch, it’s tough today. It’s very, very different than it used to be. Um, and I think for me, I just sort of was like, I don’t know if I feel like putting in the full time effort to learn that whole new game again.
