Progress Update : 8th July 2018
This week was again dominated by the need to complete a client project (the same one) in time for a review meeting with said client on Friday morning.
The good news is that went well but it has left me with little time to catch up on my remaining goals for this month.
The good news is that they're my goals so it's up to me how bad to feel about not meeting them! The truth is, my day job has to come first as that currently pays the bills and I'm okay with that. It might be challenging at times, but I do love what I do.
So, let's see how I did.
This month's goals
I set myself the following goals to hit by July 10th:
- Post at least 4 blog posts to my niche website
- Post at least 2 blog posts to my Bootcamp website
- For my WA rank to drop from 35 but stay within 200
- Keep posting to social media every day for my niche site branding
- Not make any goals regarding WA blog posts. I'll do these if I have the time. :)
Goal Progress
- I did actually manage to write a post for my niche website this weekend so I've made a bit more progress! (2 / 4 done)
- I'd already written the two posts for my bootcamp website last week. Hooray! (2 / 2 done)
- I've carried on helping here and there as my time has permitted but my WA interaction has been way down compared to previous weeks (sorry guys).
- I've managed to keep up my social media posting (well, Twitter anyway) and seen a further increase in followers as a result.
- Other than this review post, I've not had chance to write anything new for my WA blog this week.
Review of my progress this week
Niche Website - Create 3 more content posts
My aim is to publish another post within the next few days before the 10th July milestone that ends this round of goals.
It would be great if I manage to publish two but I doubt that's going to happen as I've got further client work to complete.
Bootcamp website
I've also been somewhat discouraged by seeing some awesome bootcamp sites that other WA members have created and left wondering if I could hope to match their amazing presentation and content.
My direction is very different to other people's so I'm sure there's still room for my contribution to the making money niche. I guess I just worry that my direction isn't going to be as successful as other people's.
WA Rank
Catching up will feature quite heavily in my next round of goals so I'd like to apologize in advance if you don't see much of me in the coming week!
As I said in my last progress review, I'll be abandoning this aspect of my goals as it doesn't really feature very highly on my list of priorities (especially with a third baby in the mix that I'll mention shortly).
Post to social media every day
I'm hoping that this will result in a corresponding positive response when I manage to promote my new niche website post in the coming week.
The 28-day summary (which more or less coincides with this round of goals is encouraging - green across the board for my new Twitter account. :)
Extras
A second niche website (three with the bootcamp site)
If I'm honest, my primary niche website isn't promoting very high-value items so the ROI is going to be modest at best.
Some of you will think I'm foolish taking this route to affiliate success but my mind jumps around a great deal (which is why I have to implement so many productivity hacks). Having three totally different sites is actually beneficial to me as it will stop me getting bored with just one and keep me moving forwards.
Goals for the coming week
As this round of goals ends on the 10th, I'll be setting new goals then.
I hope to publish at least one new post to my niche websites before then though.

Oh, don't mistake me for a naturally organized person! :)
I've had to implement all sorts of life hacks to keep me moving forwards (thanks in large part to some of the books I read - I just wrote a review of three of them in my latest post).

Wow, that's a lot of goals. Having a full-time day job included, is also impressive. I was so impressed I'm writing some goals myself and will post them. Just so I can't back out. Thank you for the wisdom.
Awesome! :)
That's exactly why I've been posting mine! :D
By publicly posting my goals and holding myself accountable, it has really helped me to achieve them.
