this rate, I would hit the first $25 pay day some time in mid-2010! In February I made 80 cents, March it was $1.20 and April saw it rise gradually to $2.13, still low but a definite increase. I suddenly saw the potential and what was possible when I hit the end of May and $10 registered on my screen. I could not believe that 2 cents could turn into $10 so quickly. Excitement began to creep in, especially when Helium changed its site, and I took it more seriously and began to write more earnestly. I was also gradually working out what earned and what didn't. My own craft was improving.

This morning, at 3.30 am, I was mesmerised in front of my screen as the money slowly changed to $25.01, my FIRST eligible payment from Helium, and THREE YEARS early! Not only that, but it also registered $12 for the first week of June, more than I earned for the whole of May. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was an awesome moment mainly because of the sheer potential for what is possible at this rate. I had gone from earning two and a half cents per day in February to $1.46 cents per day in June. From $25 acorns I already see myself as the first British Helium millionaire writer. The cynics might scoff, but after the last three months, I believe anything is possible and have my own targets for the rest of the year. So watch this space closely!

The final thing you need to leave your day job to blog is obviously the self-belief, confidence and faith that you can do it and make it work. Believe me, you really will move mountains with such an attitude. You have to forget thoughts of mortgage or any negative financial burdens when you start because you need to think SUCCESS every step of the way to come out fighting. It will be a little hard at first in the early months, and you might even doubt your rash decision to leave your cosy nest, but, like me this morning, the moment of realisation that you are truly on your way will be simply magical!
