I Finally Did It - I See Green Everywhere!

For the longest time I was battling writing enough content to meet my goals. Also, my Plugins were lagging at Yellow. It was time to make some changes.

I had just concluded my 15 week series book study project on my Wealthy Affiliate Blog on Think & Grow Rich.

One of the exercises taught was to recite loud twice each day what your goals are in terms of money equivalents, when you expect to achieve it and what price are you willing to pay in terms of learning, effort and action, to achieve your goals.

I began to follow through on this exercise.

Out of the many things I wrote down I would do was to increase my website post frequency and manage my plugins more effectively.

I know that it is not the number of plugins that can be the culprit regarding low site health. But the one's that actively slow down one's site. I had many I was only using on a temporary basis. So I either deactivated them or deleted them. Depending on how useful they are to me.

When I started the Think and Grow Rich book study, I had about 40 posts on my website. I now have 81. My goal is to reach 100 during August. I will do that.

Site Health Progress

I thought it would be a good idea to show a progress report here. It is my way to be accountable while recognizing the Wealthy Affiliate members collectively as my Master Mind Group. Events have proven that this is indeed the case. Here is my Site Health as poor July 27 - 2020.

Every category is 100% except Plugins at 90%. I am happy with that and do not plan to get that to 100%.

Improving Website Impact

In have also taken two other steps to boost the effectiveness of my website.

1. I had Site Support migrate it to the new super fast server that is still in Beta Form
2. I had Site Support create a Site Rubix duplicate staging website of the one shown in Site Health.

The purpose is to test GeneratePress to eventually change themes from screenr. The reason being, GeneratePress gives more control of the look of one's web content like font type and size, Heading sizes and line separation. Also, the pull down menus are easier to read.

The purpose of these activities is to make my website have more impact for the reader. I recognize there are many things I will need to do before I can confidently change my theme. But the initial change using the staging site looks hopeful.

A Challenge

I encourage other members to do whatever it takes to make your website have more impact with your visitors.

In my next post I will be sharing data on my website post search engine ranks. And to see what I can do to improve those rankings as time permits.

Please share what steps you have taken to improve your Site Health.

All the best in your Affiliate Marketing business.
