Huge Holiday Push: Day 1 (Track my progress with me: can I make a sale?)
Hi everyone!
As I'm a college student, I have a huge patch of holiday in front of me right now during which I plan to work full time on my website(s). I thought it would be fun to set out my goals here at the beginning, share my progress day by day, and then see just how far I can get in the next couple months! I'm still hanging on for that first sale, so hopefully you guys get to witness it happening. Technically I actually started this push a few days ago, but for all intents and purposes this is the beginning.
I will try and keep it short (I feel like all my writing energy has been used up for the day!), so I won't go into too much detail, but if you want to know anything more please leave your question below!
Today I created a new blog post for my WA affiliate program site, posted on both Instagrams (feed and stories), earned some SiteComments, went through another lesson in affiliate bootcamp, began drafting my next post for my niche site, realised I forgot to add my affiliate links to the WA review I created over the weekend so went back and added them, and finally edited my Bing PPC campaign.
Not as much as I wanted to get done unfortunately, but I had a few appointments throughout the day. Yesterday was a great day, published 2 blog posts (one for each site), shared them on Google plus and pinned the images, watched a replay of Magistudios' training on bounce rate, posted on both Instagrams, completed a phase in the certification training and completed a lesson in affiliate bootcamp, tweaked my niche site theme and design, and integrated ads to my niche site.
Hopefully I can keep this work rate up- I'm excited to see how long it takes before I make my first sale (I have been at WA for six months so far; although I did take a break for a month or so).
So, that's it for today. I'll also leave my stats at the bottom of this post, so you can track the change as I keep posting.
Thanks for reading!

keep up the work, while you have time create 3 blogs a week of 2000 words with good keywords.
2000 words huh? That's a lot. Does it improve rankings? (Google sees it as quality content?)

I think you are doing really great Benjamin. Keep up the training and hard work.
