5 Month Goal Met in 4

If you have been following my progress or have read my blogs, You know that when I came to WA it was to do a test site. I gave myself a 3 month goal, a 6 month goal, and a 12 month goal. However, I gave myself goals for each month that weren't included in the "main" month goals. You can read about the 3 Month Goal Mark Here:

Anyway, enough rambling. Down to business.
The 3 month goal consisted of driving traffic to the site, which exceeded my expectations. I also wanted to see how many sign up's I could attain by about the 5 month mark. I put the number at/around 200 (which is pretty high for such a short amount of time)
The site is currently 3 months 3 weeks old, so just under the 4 month mark. The goal has been met with currently 220 Subscribers.
Please note, that I'm not using any sign-up forms what-so-ever, nor any pop-up's, squeeze pages, or landing pages to capture users. (This was all part of the test)

I have achieved 200+ sign ups simply by publishing strong quality content on the selected niche.
So what does this ultimately mean?

That 200+ people ACTUALLTY care about what I am writing about. They weren't forced to sign-up to gain a "free gift" or suckered into giving me their email.
I wasn't going to post a blog about this, but I figured, Hey, why not. Might as well share the news and prove points that I've made in the past. I was actually caught off guard at first as I wasn't expecting to see these numbers by at least the 5 month mark, and maybe not even until the 6 month mark. Either way, new goals are set and I want this number to double shortly down the road.

So remember kids, keep posting good strong keyword enriched content, and the people will come. As long as you are providing high quality content. People will want to read about it and soon enough, they will follow your work.
