Maybe I am being a pain in the neck by always celebrating the 10th of the month - but I have worked hard over the last 4 months and really feel the need to celebrate. Promise not to do this every month forever, only up until 6 months - deal? So here it is, Belated Happy 4 Month WA Birthday To Me!

So Much Has Happened!

Over the last four months this is what I have done in the community:



Rank: 34

Posts: WA Blog Posts 51 (this will be number 52)

Questions: 29

Network: 2,6K

That is, I am following 13,353 and of that number only 2,550 are following me. I asked this question last month too - what is up with that?


This has happened on my websites

SITE CONTENT

Number of Websites: 2 (one unpublished)

Level: 5/5

All time words written: 72,400

More than: 99% of the WA Community

Articles published: 30

Articles Indexed by Googe: 23

Articles unpublished: 21 (these are for my second site, one which is about my passion and calling, yet to be published. The aim is to have my MMO site to be up and running first)

Template Goals: 30% (I didn't know there was a template goal - best I get onto this!)

Here are the screenshots


GOOGLE ANALYTICS

Has been a sad state of affairs, nothing remarkable to report here, despite posts being ranked and WA members contributing comments. I need to give this some serious attention to gain traction for my online business.

Additional Work For The Websites But Not Yet Live

Two ebooks are in the making, one is very close to completion, this will also be used on Social Media within a group. The second is considerably shorter and will be a lead magnet for my MMO website.

Affiliate Bootcamp Training

I am due to re-start training tomorrow, 12 February, this is after a 20-day break as instructed by Kyle. Moving onto Phase 5 of Affiliate Bootcamp - very exciting! - more than half-way through! Whoop! Whoop!


Live Webinars

I attempted to watch one in January - it was 3am in Johannesburg, there was no chance of my eyes remaining open at that time of the morning. Sorry Jay, I missed watching you live, promise to start watching the recordings.


Social Media

In the last month I started the following for my MMO website:

Facebook - only 66 followers, out of 564 invited :-(

Twitter - dismal numbers: following 114, followers 31

Pinterest - followers 42, unique monthly viewers 95

Not much focus has been given to these as yet, so the numbers are understandably low. Social Media is on my radar in a big way from today, not as a result of looking at the numbers, but because the time has come. From today, there will be a minimum of 2 posts daily on each of the above. Instagram also needs to be given some love and attention so will be included.

I have viewed the stats for Facebook and Pinterest which have shown some spikes and drops, these are probably from the WA Community activity on my profiles so I am not going to get too excited.

Extra Curricular Activites

December - Pet and House Sitting, was cause for much hilarity, many of my wonderful WA friends and colleagues laughed alongside me.

January - February - Detox, started on 19 January and still in process. Also, brought about laughter for many of my awesome friends in WA. You can read about that here.

February - Fasting, started Sunday 3 February and ended last night. What an incredible week this has been - in keeping with the WA rules I shall not say too much here because it is to do with being a Christ follower.

21 Day Challenge

This is a blogging challenge that was issued by our one and only Fran Callado, what a truly wonderful guy. If you do not follow him yet, you should. Here is a link to the article issuing the challenge.

7 Day Principle

I wrote an article about this, with a really deceiving title - it was entitled Eat Chocolate Daily for 7 Days - Who Is In? - this principle says that if you press the snooze button today, you agree to do it for the next 7 days; if you eat badly today, you agree to do it for the next 7 days, if you skip your exercise or workout today, you agree to do it for the next 7 days. The reasoning behind it is that we often make poor decisions based on the "only for today" thinking, when the reality is that what we do today runs a serious risk of happening every day for who knows how long.

I have followed the principle for the last week, it is pretty tough to keep it up. Which was probably why I hit a wall on Friday, when I wrote an article called "Rest When You're Tired". It is also a great motivator though, when I first hear the alarm in the morning, I am reluctant to hit snooze, I know that one of the consequences will be missing out on 10 hours work for my online business - not something I want to give away to snooze an extra 10 minutes!

I have been far more productive in terms of my workload, more organized and even started exercising again (probably a mistake whilst fasting, but we live and learn, back at it today now that the fast is over).

Try the 7-Day Principle, you may gain more traction too.

AWeber

In the last week I became an AWeber affiliate and found my way around some technical challenges with linking AWeber and my site. That was big progress for me because I am not a technical person.

Affiliate Programs

I have applied and been accepted to quite a number of Affiliate Programs now, only thing is, I now need to make head and tail of who is who, the different log ins, passwords and links.

House Keeping

I asked questions in the community about

  • how people store their passwords and
  • how colleagues keep track of social media posts
  • and WA 101 questions

without fail, I have received an incredible response.

WA Community, you all seriously do ROCK! Thank you for always being generous with your knowledge, experience, expertise and patience!

Centralized Information File

I have now designed spreadsheets which assist me with everything I do. If I can give any advice to a newbie, it is this, start doing these things right from the get go. Here is what I recommend:

Excel Spreadsheet to contain different sheets for the following:

  • Pages and Posts for your Website: Title, Link and Date Written
  • Banners: your WA Affiliate links
  • Passwords: Name of Affiliate company, Login Name, Password, Affiliate Link
  • WA Blogs (like this one): Title, Link, Date written

Before you know it, you will have produced a lot of content (if we add mine up, websites and internal blogs combined, I am already over 100!) and to back track is not fun.

When it comes to Login Names, Passwords, Affiliate Links etc., rather do it at the get-go, I managed to confuse myself royally!

I also keep Word folders for all the research I do for Reviews I write too. These folders contain any research results, the logo, screen shots etc.

Belated Happy 4 Month WA Birthday To Me!

That is enough from me for this blog. I am off to celebrate the end of the fast with delicious grilled chicken and veggies for dinner. All to celebrate a Belated Happy 4 Month WA Birthday To Me!
