Swamped! In a Good Way
Swamped!! In a Good Way
My Goodness... I don't know whether I'm Arthur or Martha this month. It's how many days into the new month (3? 4?) and I'm already nearly halfway towards my Site Content Target for the month.
Last month I set the target lower than the month before (15 articles and 20, 000 words), then completed early, so I set myself a new target (another 5 posts and 5000 words), reached that and still managed to publish 3 more posts before the end of Month 3 (Super Affiliate Challenge).
Business is Rolling In...
I can't take the credit for all this Site Content as every single post has been sent to me. All I had to write were the opening and closing paragraphs for each post.
At this rate my sites may just turn into some sort of version of the Huffington Post soon. Hehe.
How did I do it?
I think it may have something to do with my sites improved Domain Authority.
Almost all the guest post requests come in on my Inspiring Mompreneurs email address and that's the one with a DA of 30.
Have I hit the sweet spot?
No... I'm sure I'll receive even more paid opportunities once Site DA hits 40 and 50 and 60.
Aaaanyway... so my humble apologies... have been too busy to blog on WA or catch up on YOUR posts. Just wanted to let you know why I've been a bit absent lately.
Hope you're also having a rip-roaring month.
To Your Success

You're forgiven! You're doing what we all should be doing...working. Continued success to you.

Haha, yes. You are right, Debbie. It's a tricky balancing act though because I only have so many hours in the day and if I'm not active on the WA platform as well as doing paid work, I will drop out of the top 25.
It's just a number...your influence will always remain as you continue to be you and contribute whenever you can.
That is awesome Lauren! DA of 30, wahoooo!!! I am so happy for you and I wish you all the best!
Wow, that's fantastic, Lauren! A great example of what happens when the domain authority of your site improves. You must be THE expert in your niche now.
Thanks so much Kaju. Still hoping to get to write a few of my own posts this month as well. So much going on.
Awesome Lauren, keep that momentum rolling, nothing like being swamped in that good way that is where the fun is in this industry.
I mean I am writing for my normal websites, but neglect this one here at WA. So it's not all bad.

This is awesome and yo have inspired me t d smething simiar but within a different niche. Having theirs write posts we only have t write an intr To is my goal but I need to keep increasing my domain authority first.
With Grace and Gratitude

Hi Karen, well, you'll get more posts with a higher DA, sure but I started publishing guest posts on Fiverr for $5 a post when my DA was about 15 (if I recall correctly). And then discovered later you can get paid contributed posts with a DA as low as 10. Companies do look at other metrics as well, but that's where everything were taught at WA comes into play: rich content, organic traffic, social shares, engagement are all important.
