We are all Super Heroes and are all Super Affiliates within (SWAG) Month 2 Review
We are all Super Heroes with our own unique powers (gifts) and we all have a Super Affiliate within us too.
If I was a Super Hero I would totally be Wonder Woman, how about you?
My 'Super Affiliate' powers or characteristics were challenged this month. I set off with a great confident start 'slam dunking' my planning with:
- Keyword research
- Blog title creation and
- Blog content outlines but then....
I got lost in necessary administration and training for my paid work. I am very grateful to have the income I earn and to be able to provide for my son and I, however, I do also like to stretch myself with learning about:
- affiliate and online marketing and business here,
- keeping my fitness up and
- taking time out to play ukulele and sail
So rather than beat myself up about what I didn't achieve, I am today celebrating what I did achieve:
- Achieved the keyword research task
- Created required blog titles
- Broke down the articles
- Wrote 4 blogs to my blog/WA website
- Added imagery to the content (so LOVE the image library here at WA)
- Distributed what little content I did publish throughout the month
- I discovered I had WA credits I hadn't used yet - yipee! So I did you use them
- I commented on other WA members posts through SiteContent
- I received comments on my posts through SiteContent
- actively on having comments on all my posts
- incorporated affiliate links to my reviews
- the days I was active here at WA I assisted other WA members
- linked content posts to my reviews
- Created 4 helpful posts here at WA throughout the month
- Checked my sites speed performance and seeking assistance on that
I also:
- Deleted about 400 post categories on my website that didn't make sense and reorganised the categories I do use
- Created a blog writing timetable for me to follow for this next month
- Realising that the blog writing skills I am honing here has helped me with fund grant writing in one of my paid roles
- Reviewed and updated the automated emails from Mailchimp for when visitors subscribe to receive my free gift
- Focused on my strengths and let go of what I didn't achieve this month - as today I begin Month 3's journey by taking action on some of what I didn't achieve last month
So, in summary, I am adopting a more 'no-nonsense' and 'action-taker' approach this month to my blog writing as I think it is a much more Wonder Woman attitude and move on to the new month with renewed energy and determination.
How has your past month of blogging been?

WOW! I don't even know what post categories are and I'm still impressed. I have found it is always best to focus on the positive, learn from the not-so-positive, and keep moving forward. I'm really new here but I love the interaction between folks and truly amazed by the honesty of the community. I am inspired to keep going every time I read one of the posts.
Thanks

Hi there, what a great attitude. I didn't want to delete some posts because I was afraid of the SEO result. Thank you for sharing
Hello Fleur! I love your approach. It's an excellent idea. I shall take it on. Thank you for sharing!
You did well Fleur! :) Focusing on what do achieve and what we aim to do differently the next month is a perfect approach.
By the way, 400 post categories? How did you mange to have that many?
~Mark :)
Yes feeling much better now that I have let go of what wasn't achieved.
LOL re categories, this is a blog I've had since about 2007 and I think I was using categories more like tags and just never got round to reorganising, probably because it all felt so daunting. But it wasn't as bad as I had anticipated and it looks and feels SO much better!
Yes it is valuable to reflect on what you have achieved rather than focusing on what you haven't done - today I've just improved my site's health and its speed too - yay!
Hey Wonder Woman! You are doing very well and have accomplished a lot. Your energy is very inspiring.
Wow.. 400 post categories and getting all that sorted is a lot of work. Great attitude, the 'no-nonsense' and 'action-taker'... I'm going to do that too... thanks!
I wish you much success in April.

Nope, I don’t want to be Wonder Woman. Couldn’t pass the physical. Looks to me like you made pretty good progress this last month. Your attitude is awesome.

LOL nice re Wonder woman!! Yes looking forward to achieving consistently throughout the month in April, that really is my weakness not consistent enough
I know the feeling. I’ve got to overcome my distractions, like watching baseball and basketball on TV. That’s probably 14-15 hours per week I waste.
