I decided to follow the lead of some other members here on WA and post my latest statistics along with some goals for the upcoming month. This is probably something I should have been doing all along, but better late than never, right?

My focus has been on my affiliate website (http://FamilyStaples.com), so that's what I'll report on here.

A few things that I did with my website this month:

* Began creation of an email mailing list (up to 32 members) using MailChimp

- Sent out a welcome email and a subsequent new-blog notificaiton email

* Added an email signup form to my posts/pages

* Added an RSS feed in my right-side column to make my pages more interesting

* Wrote three (3) new blog posts

* Picked up one new affiliate (of 2 applied for)

* $0 in sales in January, but did receive $100 in commissions for sales in December 2014

Traffic Summary for January:

Sessions: 679

Users: 578

Pageviews: 1,810

Pages / Session: 2.67

Avg. Session Duration: 1:07

Bounce Rate: 8.84

% New Sessions: 83.51

Goals for February:

* Write a review post for my new affiliate

- Drive traffic to new review post via Twitter, Facebook and email list

* Write at least 3 more blog posts

* Work on getting popup Opt-in form working for my email list

* Share all new posts via Twitter, Facebook and email

* Double my email subscribers (i.e., to 64)

* Increase pageviews to 2,000+

* Refresh my posts (reviewing SEO and Ken Pringle's suggestions for "hypnotic phrases")

* Review my February progress and post an update showing my progress and which goals were achieved
