Hey everyone. Chuck here. Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful 2019.

I just wanted to take a moment and share my end of year 2019 blog results. None of this is to brag or boast. Some of my stats are great, some are not so great.

2019 was my seventh year blogging full-time, but I've been build websites around 10-years now. I have a very popular blog in the network marketing niche. With that being said, here are my stats:

My Blog Traffic

Overall, my traffic was down about 20% from the previous year, but it was still steady and consistent. To the best of my knowledge, this had a lot to do with some of the Google updates. Plus, I had an issue with my sitemap for several months in Google Console.

Here is my traffic breakdown from 2019.

  • We had 676,336 total visitors in 2019 compared to 827,613 in 2018
  • We had 551,301 unique visitors in 2019 compared to 672,469 in 2018
  • We had 901,242 page views in 2019 compared to 1,175,804 in 2018
  • We averaged 1,852.9 visitors per day in 2019 compared to 2,267.4 visitors per day in 2018
  • We averaged 1,510.4 unique visitors per day in 2019 compared to 1,842.3 in 2018
  • We averaged 2,469.2 page views per day in 2019 compared to 3,221.4 in 2018

These stats are from my Google Analytics account and can easily be verified (see photo above). About 90% of my traffic was free traffic from social media, email marketing, and the search engines.

Miscellaneous Stats

  • Published approximately 80 new podcasts and had 26,545 total views/downloads
  • Generated 4,112 leads for my free MLM Boot Camp
  • Generated 6,710 leads for Power Lead System
  • Generated 6,511 leads for my MLM Company
  • Generated 247 leads for my mail order business
  • Published 104 new blog posts and deleted about 150 older, low quality posts
  • I joined a new MLM Company on May 7, 2019. From then until December 31, I personally sponsored 3,422 people and built a team of 64,911 people. More importantly, I earned more money from my business during that time-frame than I had earned in the previous 17-years in the industry. I did this 100% online.
  • This was the first year my blog made me a six figure income (revenue). I haven't done my taxes yet, so I don't know what the net profit is, but it's very good.
  • The one thing that helped me the most this year was outsourcing. This is my biggest regret as a blogger, not outsourcing sooner. I have a virtual assistant in the Philippines who works for me full-time. She has saved me a ton of time with editing, research, images, etc. Without her help, I doubt my business would have grown so much.

Business wise and blogging wise, 2019 was my best year ever. Yes, my traffic was down from the previous year, but my income was UP, UP, UP! I'm happy about what 2020 has in store.

What I Have Planned for 2020

2020 is going to be out of this world. Here are my big goals for the year:

  • I will achieve at least $500,000 in business revenue
  • I will add 120 new posts to my blog
  • I will publish 240 YouTube videos
  • I will publish 240 podcasts
  • I will generate 40,000 leads
  • I will have 1 million unique visitors to my blog and 1.2 million-page views
  • I will personally sponsor 7,320 people in my business (20 per day)
  • I will reach Diamond and achieve the 500k title
  • I will add 200,000 new team members
  • I will attend the company event in February

Most of these goals are very attainable. A few will require me to really step out of my comfort zone and double down.

I will also hire two more full-time virtual assistants so I can continue to scale my efforts, work less, and make more money! I will have them do my social media, email follow-up, video editing, and several other things.

Insights

I started this blog many years before I found Wealthy Affiliate. I have taken what I have learned here to make that blog even better. The training we have here with this platform is out of this world.

Had I had access to the information here at Wealthy Affiliate when I was first getting started, there is no doubt in my mind my journey to success would have been cut in half (at least).

Final Thoughts

What are your thoughts? How did your website do in 2019? Leave a coment below and let me know what you think.

Individual results will vary. This is just my experience.

Yes, Chuck, I'm impressed and inspired and I needed it from a leader in our business of affiliate marketing and blogging!

I am so grateful you showed up today with proof of such success!

God Bless and Good Luck!
Janice🙌🤗🌾🍀

Thanks, Janice.

Hey Chuck - that is nothing short of amazing and inspiring. Incredibly well done and I am sure you will attain and surpass your goals this year.

I really struggle with lack of time and I'd be very interested to know how you found your VA, rates of pay, tasks they do, etc.

Ian

I pay $4 to $5 per hour. I go through http://Upwork.com. They create my photos, do a lot of editing for me, respond to emails, research posts, etc. I normally work with people in the Philippines.

Wow! I;ll take a look, thanks.

So do you post individual jobs or do you work with the same person all the time?

I work with the same person. I had to go through a few VA's until I could find someone good, but it was worth it.

Any tips on how to find a good match?

Wow, I don't know what else to say. Such results are out of this world, Chuck, no doubt you will achieve your goals in 2020, probably even more.
Outsourcing, or rather not doing outsourcing is probably the biggest mistake most people (including me) make.
Thanks for sharing your stats, it's amazing.

Thanks for the comment.

Wow! These are amazing stats! Thanks for sharing Chuck. My website is less than 6 months old and suffers from neglect due to a busy day job... I know that's a lame excuse... :)

Thanks for pointing out the importance of a virtual assistant. All the best with your 2020 goals.

We are Blessed.
Mark

Thank you.

Hi chuck, happy new year, fantastic post I haven’t put my site together as yet but your journals of 2019 has pushed me to start with renewed momentum, I am not into mlm but I like the cut of affiliate marketing, so I am starting today with renewed vigor to get my first site up and running by the end of January, if not before. Thanks for the injection lol 😂

Glad I could help.
