Today marks the first month since I've been here at WA and almost a month since I've launched my website.

Here are my stats:

• 11 posts (12th will be posted today), 6 pages, 26 comments (majority from WA folks, thank you!)
• 189 sessions, 148 users, 337 page views, 69.31% bounce rate
• organic search - only 12 sessions :/
• no sales yet (there's still time for those)
• few of my posts fluctuate between page 1 and page 2 (usually at 9th/11th spot)
• most of my posts are between pages 1-5
• posts fluctuate between 300-1600 words
• rank 682 at WA

I'm currently posting 3 times a week, although I'm not sure I can keep that up in the long run, considering I have a full time job. I will try my hardest or maybe do one week 2 posts, next week 3 posts.

I still have doubts from time to time, not about whether this is working or not, I know it is. It's more doubts about myself, my abilities, my niche, if my posts are good enough. I guess that it's normal and I just have to push through them like I've been doing.

There are days when I don't really feel like writing or despite the fact thatI have prepared several keywords ahead, I don't know what to write.

Sometimes I struggle with 'salesy' posts and normal blog posts in my niche; I don't want to be too salesy but there's only so much I can write without intention to sell anything. I guess I need to branch out a little bit from my small niche and reach out to a broader niche from time to time.

The traffic worries me a bit, since it's mostly my friends and other people at WA who graciously visit when I post a new article on G+. I guess every traffic counts after all but I'd definitely would love more traffic frrom organic search. I think it's still too early for that though.
