Alright, it has been one month since I become a premium member at WA.
It's time to do a short review and start to plan for next month.

Ultimate Goal: $1k passive income per month on 31/12/2018

Monthly Review:

What has been done:
No of post written: 10 Posts
No of words written: 28696
Google analytics (new users): 18 (after excluded the traffic from my country)
WA referral: 0 person
Email Subscribers: -
Pinterest Followers: 23
Income: $0

What went well:
1) On average, there's a new blog post every 3 days
2) Improvement on blog visual (featured image)
3) Improvement on post visual (pinterest image, facebook image, relevant image in post)
4) Important pages section is done
5) My writing skill is improving (the blog post is more engaging now)
6) Learnt to get comments In WA (good response)
7) Started using Pinterest

What are the challenges:
1) I do not know which google analytics metrics to focus on.
2) I do not know which Pinterest analytics metrics to focus on.
3) The traffic on my website is way too low.
4) I need to be more efficient in content creation. (Lack of focus)
5) I want to start collecting email but I do not know what to offer as the lead magnet.
6) I need to have a fixed schedule/flow to do things to improve my productivity

My goal for the next 30 days:
1) Determine which google analytics to focus on
2) Determine which Pinterest analytics to focus on
3) Create a workflow framework to improve productivity (Priority***)
4) Explore and list down 10 ideas for lead magnet
5) Create Facebook Page for the website
6) No of post: 15 Posts (10 Review Post + 3 How-to Post)
7) Google analytics (new users): 150 (after excluded the traffic from my country)
8) WA referral: 5 people
9) Email Subscribers: -
10) Pinterest Followers: 150
11) Income: $8 (1 referral for first month $19 special offer)

My last thought:

I admit I'm nervous after seeing only 18 new users landed on my site this month.

However, I gotta tell myself this is normal because I was focusing on building neccessary startup content on my sites for trust-building purposes. And, along the way, I've spent a lot of time adjusting my direction and solving little issues here and there through trial and errors.

I'm confident in the coming month, the traffic will shoot up for a few reasons (promotion via Pinterest and Facebook page, writing reviews post, and improved productivity).

My goal is super simple: $1k passive income per month, and I will be able to quit my job and live my life as a full time blogger.

So, here ends the last day of June 2018.
Only 6 months left to achieve my goal.

Will I make it at the end?
Well, there's only one way to find out.
Keep moving.
