Good evening lovely WA peeps!

Well, here we are at the end of week 12 of this challenge, very close to the end. Although in my book 12 x 7 is only 84 days, so I figure that I have another 6 days to go to get to the end of 90 days, so this will be my last but one post of this challenge.

All in all, I've had a solid week and I'm feeling pleased that I'm still working steadily on this challenge!

As today is the start of Autumn with the Autumn Equinox in the northern hemisphere (and the Spring/Vernal one in the southern hemisphere), it is a time to reflect on the things planted in the spring which have now come to fruition. It's also a time to reflect on what we want to let go of that we no longer need (like the trees shedding their leaves) and things we want to work on going forward.

I love celebrating the turning of the seasonal wheel so my daughters and I went out for a special meal, which was lovely. And now it's time to let the summer go and move into the new season with love and gratitude.

To remind you, we're in the very final phase of the challenge. Our targets for this week were:

✅ Weeks 9–12: Monetize + Optimize (September)

• Add stronger CTAs and affiliate links
• Update 3+ older posts for SEO or layout
• Create a “top tools” or “best of” article
• Begin tracking clicks or conversions
• Optional: Launch a lead magnet, opt-in, or email list

Focus: Let the machine work. Shift from growth to revenue.

So, here's my week 12 progress

1. I have written only one new article for my site this week - but that means consistent publishing. Not surprisingly, if you know me, it's all about the Equinox and the myths, science and meanings behind this changing of the seasons.
2. I have only updated 1 other post this week, but I intend to continue to update all my older posts to help get them all indexed and I've been working on adding more signposting, better links, FAQs and cutting out the waffle!
3. Still no "top tools" or "best of" article this week but I'm OK with that. I'm not really sure that that kind of post really fits well within my niche anyway, so I'd rather stay authentic than try to force a particular type of post. That's not saying I'll never do one, but I just think there are more important things to fix first.
4. Still no change in Google, so tracking nothing will lead to nothing, but I've decided not to worry - Zero percent rise on zero is zero. I think that if Bing and Yahoo are indexing my pages, then at some point Google will have to catch up!
5. One thing I did do this week was to create many more reels and videos for my social media platforms.
6. I also created:
7. 1. 14 Facebook posts, including 6 reels
   2. 14 new pins for Pinterest
   3. 11 social media posts for my other sites
   4. 2 WA posts

This week has been a fairly slow but steady one for me. I don't feel that I've 'set the world on fire' but I have kept slogging on with small things that will make a big difference in the end, I hope.

Final Goal Of This Challenge for Next Week

In the last 6 days of the challenge, I intend to consolidate what I've done since the start of the challenge and report back on things I've learned. I also intend to create another meditation video so hopefully I can report that next week, too.
