Weekly Friday Finds | April 2, 2021
Hello and welcome to a new month. Last month was pretty epic on the blog. I did 27 posts in 31 days! That is certainly the most I have ever posted. It reflects well in the number of followers and affiliate clicks I received for the month. I think posting every day keeps me motivated and focused. Otherwise, I would be tempted to curl up in my chair to read books and lose myself on Pinterest. lol
I received my second dose of the Covid vaccine last weekend. A heartfelt thank you to the National Guard for running the mass vaccine site. While we were in Springfield, we did a driving tour of the Capitol area and the Abraham Lincoln sites. Nothing was open, but it was fun to reminisce about previous trips.
As the world gets closer to opening up, what are you planning to do? I love dreaming about going back to the beach. Aside from seeing family, traveling is what I have missed the most.
Don’t forget to leave a comment on this post to enter the drawing. The winner gets a gift card, a spot on the sidebar for their book or blog, or a chance to be the featured author on my Bookshop. This week’s winner is Rosie R.

Hi Gina, Wow, you sure posted a lot! That’s awesome! I’ve been thinking about affiliate stuff but I’ve been scared to try it. Is it hard to set it up?
Not at all Jessica. On Amazon, just click the link at the very bottom of the page that says “Become an Affiliate”. Be sure you read their TOS. It tells what they allow & what they don’t. For all other sites, just Google become an affiliate of (company). It will tell you if they have a program & who runs it. Thanks for reading today!
