2️⃣ Money spent on my Blog
Ezoic Premium: 18USD ~ 25 CAD
Fiverr SEO Service: 175 CAD (Still don’t know if it was worth it or not)
3️⃣ WordPress Blog
I have two blogs
The second one is still in its early stages and doesn’t show any ads. The data below is taken from my first website.
Newsletter Subscribers: 27 (No change since last month)
Kofi Payments: 0 (No change since last month)
The Blog received 11,133 Views and 10,258 Visits. According to Google Analytics, there was a drop of 1.7% in User Sessions and a 0.7% drop in Users as compared to October
In the month of November, the blog earned 83.98 USD by displaying ads. Compared to last month, this is a 16.7% increase. That’s a W!
4️⃣ Medium
Email Subscribers: 25 ( +1 in November)
Referred Members: 12 (-1 in November)
In November, I earned 59.26 USD which is a drop of 23.75% as compared to October. Now, this is an L. I haven’t been active on Medium so I guess this is expected, hopefully, December looks better!
My articles on Medium got 10,773 views and 2,590 reads in November. This is an increase of 1.48% as compared to last month. Although there was a slight increase in the number of reads, there was a decent drop in the earnings. The Medium Partner Program is pretty unpredictable.
5️⃣ Dev.to and Hashnode
Neither of them earns me anything.
6️⃣ Summarizing the Summary
Total Views: 14,551 (19% decrease as compared to last month.)
Total Earnings: -56.76 CAD (Hopefully buying the SEO Gig on Fiverr was worth it)
Funny Stuff on the Internet
Cool GitHub Repos
1️⃣ Rejected.us
This is basically a collection of stories of people who got rejected. It’s mostly developers so it’s pretty relatable. I used to take a look at this frequently during my undergrad and some of the stories were really inspiring.
Below is a “tile” from the website.
You can find the web app over here

2️⃣ ChatGPT
Note: this is not the official ChatGPT repo.
This repo lets you interact with ChatGPT via a Python Script. As of today, I couldn’t find any API by OpenAI that lets you use ChatGPT so this repo is pretty useful. It was created by reverse-engineering ChatGPT and can be used to build cool stuff like chatbots or a Voice Assistant.
Lightweight package for interacting with ChatGPT’s API by OpenAI. Uses reverse engineered official API. — GitHub — acheong08/ChatGPT: Lightweight package for interacting with ChatGPT’s API by OpenAI. Uses reverse engineered official API.
