Here We Are Again - 2nd Month Progress Report
Intro
If you have been following along you will remember I promised to produce a monthly progress report.
Anyway, I had just fired up my website and was starting from scratch. It is my intention to give it my full attention and commitment, so thought it may be of interest, especially to those who may be starting out as to what this may all look like for you.
So, 2 main reasons then:
- Show my actions and results, good or bad in the hope it will act as motivation or a lesson.
- As accountability for myself. Again, you will know I have been here for a few years now and have not really done anything with the business. Back in September, I decided it was now or never. So here we are.
Report:
My Plans for Last Month
- To continue to publish a post a day.
- Begin to bulk write allowing me to free up time to allow me to begin the editing process.
- Begin to introduce internal linking to keep any visitors on the site longer.
What Happened
- I published 25 blog posts in 31 days.
- I began to internally link older posts and now include the links as I create the content.
- I introduced a feature image on all my old posts including the "alt text." I now do that as I create new content.
- I have started bulk writing my posts so I can free up time for learning how to promote my website.
- Started to introduce affiliate links for Wealthy Affiliate.
Conclusion
A pretty good effort.
Results
(Drum roll)
Impressions = 967 (up from 10)
Clicks = 3 (up from 0)
Sales = 0 (up from 0!!!)
The Month Ahead
To continue publishing once a day.
Learn how to write a good 'Review' post.
Continue the internal and affiliate linking and image work including more images in each post.
Continue the bulk writing/preparation of blog posts.
Start to learn and implement the promotion of the website, using other platforms/social media etc.
One Last Thing
I did mention I I had fired up another site, as of 17th October. Nothing really to report here. I did add 3 new blog posts which of course had no effect but I am considering narrowing the niche on this one to try to speed up ranking results. I will keep you posted on this one.
Conclusion
That's your lot for this month. It has been a busy month but I still feel I can be more organised and accomplish more.
Top tip: Keep plowing on and don't give in to disappointments. Just remember, all this work is like planting seeds. They don't grow immediately and some may never grow. But eventually, so long as we don't neglect them, they will grow. That for me will be a day to celebrate.
See you on the next one.
