Week 5 summary:

This concludes week 5 of the challenge.

Week	Net Worth	Difference
1	0.33$	+0.33$
2	4.68$	+4.35$
3	42.61$	+37.88$
4	89.11$	+46.50$
5	100.90$	+11.79

Since my RC issues should be a thing of the past, I'll dive more into the trading side again. Doubling my target of 1k to 2k for next week.

Well, that didn't go as planned. Only traded for a couple days and ran out of RC so fast. As I mentioned in my daily posts, I won't focus on trading until I reach my 100 HP target. Maybe then I'm not constantly out of RC.

Those posting goals are coming back, unchanged.

And the monetary goal of 150$ I think I'm up-ing that to 165$, that would be a 1.5x increase compared to this week. It will be though, but I need the challenge.

That was an epic fail. I mean it obviously doesn't help that I'm equity-wise pretty heavy in Hive and Hive isn't performing great. In general, my earnings weren't great, no giveaway wins, low trading income, a little bit of EOS/daily income but those can't compare to blogging and giveaway incomes.

Maybe I'll have to increase my pressure, in case I fail my weekly goals again? Maybe having to donate one of my legendaries in a giveaway should I not succeed? Any thoughts?

Since I failed 2 objectives, I have to hone up to it a bit.

Goals and changes for Week 6:

Changes:

Decided to reduce reporting frequency for this challenge from once a day to once a week. I realized that it gets kinda repetitive to report that frequently. The engagement with my posts started to drop off, too. So in my eyes, it doesn't make sense to continue with that high of a frequency. Since I don't want to stop my habit of posting daily and making a strategy post once a day wouldn't be feasible work/timewise. I decided to reward my readers with daily giveaways, I want to tie those into my journey, so participants will have to guestimate my earnings from playing aka daily quest and battle rewards. I'll make 5 trades a day and those have finance the giveaways, I hope that limit will help me maintain my RC. To make it more interesting. If I fail any of my goals for the week, I have to increase the rarity of the giveaways in the coming week. So if I fail 3 times in a row, I would have to giveaway 1 legendary each day. (let's hope that doesn't happen)

Goals for week 6:

0/70 giveaways entered
0/6 daily common card giveaways
0/1 refinance the cards via trading
0/1 weekly battle challenge
0/1 strategy article

Today

Was way too busy with IRL so I couldn't get out the post in time and postponed it to now.

Quest:

Got a sneak quest. Question: Am I the only one that sometimes tries to do sneak quests with snipe units and snipe quests with sneak units? Took me like 3-4 games to realize that I'm not progressing...

You can never get enough credits.

Trading:

Nothing to report.
