Operation: Vegas 2020 - October Update
Happy Halloween! I love Halloween, how about you guys? Anyway, since it's the last day of the month, I wanted to give you all a quick update on my Operation: Vegas 2020 progress.
The last time I wrote it was October 12. I had very little traffic coming in, and it was mostly from Wealthy Affiliate people. I had a decent amount of blog posts written, but my goal was to do 30 by the end of the month.
Traffic Update
My traffic is still mostly from Wealthy Affiliate people leaving comments on my site. BUT, I do see some progress happening here. I'm getting a few organic hits and clicks into my site. My rankings are improving. I even have a post on page 1!
Here's what my traffic looked like in September before I really started down this Vegas path. I had a few posts up about books and whatnot. There really wasn't much on my site at the time.
Here's what's happening this month. Is it earth shattering? No! Is it improving. Yea! I just expect more and more improvements as time goes on and I get more content up.
Content Update
For the month of October, I had a goal to write and publish 30 articles. I *just* missed it slightly. Overall, I'm happy with this number and even happier that all 27 articles have been indexed. (Thanks to Jay's awesome training!)
November Goals
For November, I'm going to just keep on writing until my fingers bleed. 30 articles per month is a little tough to do, I'm realizing. And with Thanksgiving come up later in the month, I'll be doing a little traveling so it would be even togher to get all 30 done.
However, I'm making it my goal to get at least 25 articles written and published. I can do it!
I don't have any other goals for November, really. I just want to focus on more content and getting more traffic and better rankings.
At some point in the very near future (possibly this month), I'll need to focus on getting an autoresponder going. I don't have enough traffic to worry about it yet, but it's in the back of my mind to start thinking about it for sure.
Thank you!
Thanks for reading, and I'll see you at the end of November with another update!

Awesome Christina. I should do something like this as a well. Share my progress like this as I am striving for Vegas too. You have inspired me!. I might just get end of mth progress reports done too. It’s amazing the results you can achieve with people cheering for you!
Well done on your articles - just keep going!!
We WILL do this!
Sharon
Yes, Sharon! I think it's good to do because it holds me accountable too. It's like I have to do this now, people are watching. lol
How long have you been working on your site? How's the progress going?
- Christina
Yeah I am definitely going to do it so look out for a post in the next day or two. Plus I will do updates at the end of each month as well.
I have had my site for nearly 2 years. It was getting some real momentum but something happened that through a spanner in the works and I only posted about 5 or 6 posts all year. I will also message you to let you know why.
But it is picking up again so that is good!
No excuses now, I have to get to Vegas!
Great progress Christina!
I'm still suffering from not being able to commit to publishing regularly, but I'm improving day after a day, and such posts from you and from other community members help to get me back to the track whenever I deviate. Thanks a lot!
I hope you do it to Vegas next year.
All the best!

Thanks, Amjad! I know it takes a lot of focus to publish daily. I have an advantage that I'm home and have time to write. But when i was working, it was harder to fit it in. (I would wake up at 5 to work on things, but it still wasn't enough time.) Just stay consistent and try to post regularly, even if it's not daily.

Fab! We have the exact same goals until the end of the year!
Race you to 100 posts until the New Year's Eve? ;)
My traffic looks pretty much the same but I have fewer posts indexed.
I better fetch the Fetch!
Best,
Alenka :)
I would love to meet up with you in Vegas in 2020! :) 100 posts until New Year's Eve? Eek! I can probably do 75 (that includes October, otherwise 50), so you'll beat me on that one!

That's awesome news! Things are slowly moving up for you! I just got my very first piece of content indexed on my second site where I can promote Wealthy Affiliate which is a huge milestone because I let that site sit for over a year with just slightly over 10 posts. I've now got a great new article series I'm delving into for my site and moving full steam ahead. I had to fix some things up that was preventing that site from being listed and having content indexed in Google and it looks like now it is starting to pay off! :)
That's great! It sounds like you're well on your way. :)
