How I will use my next 7 months here to achieve greater success
I first want to thank everyone who commented and followed me in response to my last blog post. I gained 100 new followers in the past 4 days, wow. I wasn't expecting that to happen, but I'm glad I can be a source of inspiration to all the newbies.
While I have achieved some sort of success, I am nowhere near the point I want to be. There is so much I don't know, so much I want to learn, and so many ways I can improve the way I currently do things.
How I will improve over the next 7 months:
#1. Set up a regular schedule
First and foremost, I need to put forth more regular, consistent work. I am so sporadic when it comes to working on my websites. I'll put in 75 hours one week, then produce absolutely no content for weeks. It's a really bad habit, and I believe I would see better results if I were to work consistently each week, and continuously put up new content.
#2. Stop obsessing over my stats
I'm going to admit I spend way too much time checking my stats on Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools. Yes this data can be helpful, but do I really need to check it 4 times per day? No, I am wasting my time.
#3. Set up link tracking
I have avoided this up until now because honestly I don't know how to do it and haven't bothered to learn. However I think it'll benefit me to know which links are leading to sales and what ones aren't working, it will keep me from wasting my time on stuff that doesn't work.
#4. Create Youtube videos
Video marketing is gaining popularity and is really good for gaining search engine rankings. It can be easier to get a first page ranking with a video, so I need to start taking advantage of this and gain more website traffic!
#5. Invest some time into learning new things here at WA
When I first started, I was constantly engaged in all the useful training available and watched every webinar. Honestly I haven't used WA for learning new things in awhile, yet I have all this useful information available at my fingertips. Because let's face it, there's still so much I don't know! I'm about to head into the 4th phase of bootcamp here soon and plan to finish all phases as they come out!
Well, I think that's enough goals for the next 7 months. Hopefully I will achieve them! :)

Thanks for sharing. Yes, it makes sense to have a work plan to stay focused on the goal. It can be easy to lose focus and do something completely different than you ought, to reach the goal.
No problem Kjell. Yeah it is very easy to lose focus and get off track when there's no time clock to punch. It's just something I'll have to keep working on and get better at!
Thanks for the added insight you put into THIS blog. I'm just a few months behind you as far as joining so this is encouraging :)
