Here is my month 2 progress report for anyone who is interested in seeing how I'm getting on. I said that I would publish a report everything month not only to help me chart my progress and give me some accountability, but also to help anyone else out there who is interested in what others are doing and achieving, either as an inspiration, or sometimes a warning to help avoid my mistakes!

Month 1 report is here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.co...

WEBSITE ACHIEVEMENTS - 2 MONTHS IN

  1. I now have 4 sites up and running under their own domain name with corresponding email addresses although there are really only 2 that I have been concentrating on in the last month. The other 2 sites are only shells with little content but the overall structure is there.
  2. Between the 2 main sites, I have now posted 22 pages, 24 posts and have 138 approved comments (including my replies to comments left).
  3. I have Adsense running on both of my sites now and affiliate links to Amazon, plus other individual affiliate programs and links through clickbank and shareasale on both of them too.
  4. I have written over 33,000 words using SiteContent which I find helps me to focus on goals and helps with my stats re writing.
  5. I have also written 30 WA blogs and asked 34 questions on the Wealthy Affiliate platform. (Up from 18 blogs and 20 questions at the end of my first month.)
  6. My WA rank is currently 76 but has fluctuated up and down between 68 and 80 for the past couple of weeks.
  7. Google analytics shows the following for my main site for the last 30 days so I'm pleased to see people are visiting at most times of the day now. This is up 50 users in the month so getting better slowly. Bounce rate is down from last months to that's also good.

REVIEWING MY SMART GOALS FOR LAST MONTH

These are my goals from last month that I have reviewed and revised, charting my progress along the way.


PROGRESS IN MAKING AN ONLINE INCOME

I have not made anything from my affiliate links so far however Adsense is reporting a small income from them. This is not money in the bank as yet as there is a minimum withdrawal limit of £60 but it's a very welcome start!

I'd love to make an Amazon sale in the next month so hopefully if I can get the links sorted out after my theme update, that will be an achievable goal. I've had a few steady clicks over the last few days so that is encouraging.

My 2 main sites are at:

OTHER LIFE STUFF! - PUTTING WEALTHY AFFILIATE IN CONTEXT!

I did go out with the girls on Halloween and they came home with enough sweets to last a lifetime, but somehow they only managed to last 2 weeks!! :)

We also did our performing arts school show which was a great success.

I now need to rehouse my costume store before the end of November so that's proving to be a little stressful since it means moving costumes and props that are currently housed in a triple garage into my house!! Argh! I think I'm going to need a lot of vacuum bags or a Tardis!

I hope this helps all you lovely WA people out there. It is certainly helping me focus and setting and revising goals is a great way to ensure I'm always going forward even if there are a few steps back in the process. Even if I have not achieved everything I set out to last month, I am not beating myself up. I have acknowledged with pride and gratitude what I have done, refocussed and revised what I need to do for next month, and will continue one step at a time until I reach the top of the mountain, safe in the knowledge that even then, there will always be another mountain!

Have a lovely week everyone.

Love from Gail

P.S. Leaving you with my favourite image from our show - a tribute to the wonderful Gene Kelly who inspired me from the age of 7 and changed the course of my life!

Thank you Gene!

Thanks Miles. And really, I'm not that organised! I'm a teacher in the day but I also have life coaching qualifications and I used to be a production manager in videos so there's always a deadline! :) Hope you have a great day. Thanks for reading.
