Today we are celebrating the 2nd anniversary of TheMaverickSpirit.

Yes! 2 years ago on the same day, 12th December, we started our blogging website. 

It has been a long and crazy second year and we can’t believe how much this blog has grown and how much we have learned.

Cheers to all of the hard work that we have put into this lovely space.


TheMaverickSpirit Story

Back in 2016, we planned to launch our website, and booked our domain and hosting from CloudWays. We got our blog TheMaverickSpirit live on this very day i.e. 12th Dec for $45.

There was a lot of planning and brainstorming going into the blog launch. At this time writing a blog, we have realized that drafting a post requires a lot of work.

From pre-launch to now, it really hasn’t stopped. And even after two years, it is still so much fun and something awesome we look forward to every day.

We like to celebrate every little accomplishment to big achievement on our journey with you.

And why we should not share? After all it takes all the late nights and hard work to achieve them.

You can check out our whole story on our About Page.

A Quick Summary Of Our 2 Years’ Work

After the launch, we faced and passed a lot of hurdles in the starting months of our blogging just like any other beginner. Of course, these things were important and we feel blessed as we learned many important lessons from them!

We earned our first affiliate income in August 2017.

We redesigned TheMaverickSpirit in September 2017, to make it more conversion optimized, giving visibility to important pages and much more. This was the turning point for our website and there is no looking back since then.

We received a lot of emails and in-person appreciation for our website’s new design.

That’s when people started to contact us for – website development, problems, and issues they were facing with their websites, etc.

While working on this situation, we got the idea to launch our first product – ThemeMantis – A WordPress Theme Store.

How We Monetize From Our Website?

We know many of you wonder on – “How we make money from our blog?”

This is a very controversial topic as our families kept asking the same question to us!

We believe that one should not start with the intention to make money. If you start a blog you need to be authentic and genuine to your blog audience.

By doing so, you increase your popularity and branding visibility gradually with time.

We almost turn down 95% of any offers for sponsored posts or even people asking for us to add a link to our existing blog posts or listicles.

We always support the best tools and services that will give benefit our readers in one way or another. We would never want to lose the trust of our readers by suggesting tools that lack quality and performance.

That being said, the amount of money we could make from this blog would be significantly more if we took every offer or even reduced our acceptance rate by a little bit.

We hope this clears some questions for all of you.


TheMaverickSpirit Earning Stats
