Week 22 Update - Lots of Wins!

2K followers

What an exciting week! So much has been happening I feel like it's been much longer.

I feel like a few things have fallen into place, or gotten easier. Or something like that.


My Goals this week were:

  • Keep up with my editorial calendar and promote like crazy!!!
  • Pitch and write a guest post.
  • Comment on 5 more blogs.


What I did instead:

I kept up my editorial calendar (which was pretty grueling!) and have been promoting like mad.

I didn't pitch any guest posts, let alone write one.

I commented on some blogs, a lot weren't niche related so they don't really count.

I collated a RIDICULOUSLY ENORMOUS list of Facebook Groups that are blogging related and allow promotion. Then I went and joined most of them. I intend to pretty up the list and offer it as a content upgrade freebie at some point.


Wins

- I got given some editing work by one of the (well-connected) bloggers I've been commenting on, this is potentially ongoing. :) And I LOVED IT. I think I'm an editor at heart.

- I was approached to co-host a webinar on SEO in a few months time. :)

- My Upwork client hasn't messaged me with new work for ages :) (might seem weird to count this as a win, but the pay was terrible, my time is precious and unless I'm also getting some benefit to doing the job (like niche related exposure) I'd rather pass)

- some of my pins/posts were shared by a couple of bigger bloggers I admire and respect :)

- traffic has taken a definite uptick, which is great as I've committed to sharing my stats in a blog report next month and I don't want to be embarrassed.

- I finished an epic round up post of 43+ places to find feminine stock photos (free). It took forever and was incredibly frustrating at times. I have major respect for Anh and his epic round up post of 65+ stock photos sites!

- People are subscribing to my email list!


Goals for next week:

  • Keep ticking on with my editorial calendar - its still grueling, but I need it to be to get a good solid base of quality posts.
  • Outline a lead magnet e-course.
  • Pitch a guest post.
  • Get cheeky and reply to auto responder emails of the people I want to build relationships with.

You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your goals. They help me to stay motivated regards

Wow! You are one active lady!

Keep it up, all the Best.......

Well done Cathy. On a side note, what do you think of the new commission charges at Upwork? They're horrendous.

I haven't really looked into it Jude. I've been a bit disappointed with Upwork, and any changes that would impact your take-home amount would be horrible.

Keep up the good work.

Week 22 Update - Many victories yes you many good works these
