New Week New Publishing Goals

A brand new week starting, perfect time for you to set those publishing goals for the current week. I showed you how to set your goals on the dashboard here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.co...

Motivation

There's still one week of my September challenge left and I've already achieved my goal of creating the habit of consistent publishing to one particular site, my health niche site. Once the goals are typed into the SiteContent dashboard our internal clocks start ticking too and the motivation is phenomenal to meet those targets. I've explained in previous posts why I did not set a huge target, just something to develop the habit and something that is reasonable for long term consistent content.

Results

Thanks entirely to the goal setting feature of SiteContent:

• I have consistently built content to my health niche site at the rate of 3 articles a week
• That has totally kept me in the zone regarding research and working on my site
• And that has had a knock on effect of making me:
• Tidy up site structure
• Using the WA keyword tool consistently
• Work on improving aspects of my posts like images, jump links
• Taking extra training in here at WA provided by the members
• And learning more about my theme

Habit

So three weeks in and one week left in the challenge and the habit is there already now - I'm going forward with the goals again for the final week and my head is buzzing with ideas for articles and pumped up for creating and tweaking and optimizing beautiful keyword rich content - and that is my biggest result - consistent publishing. Whatever you want to say about SiteContent, and we can all find things we like or don't like, it definitely works for habit building and meeting our publishing goals - and as content writers in content marketing / affiliate marketing, that is hugely important.

New goals set for week 4:

I've already explained in a previous post that week #2's goals are not missed but 2 hours late and SiteContent kicked my ass on that to get me earlier this week.

Mission accomplished, now to keep it going. And now that the momentum is going on this site, it looks like I'm already ahead for the coming week ;)

Write Status vs Research Status, Do the Stats Lie?

I have gained a new 'badge' of sorts along this journey with SiteContent, it is now telling me:

• Write status is 5/5
• I've written 100% more than other members at WA

HOWEVER it currently records our research notes, and unpublished articles - so honestly I think my 'Research Status' deserves a 5/5 but at only 13 articles printed [including templates and test articles for other sites] and almost 70 unpublished articles currently gaining me 'status' [and that includes any article written for the WA dashboard and not our site] I think our Write Status in SiteContent should be tied to our Published word count to our websites, and not all our words pumped through the system.

Your Turn
