Goals for November

  • Finish rebranding my images. – FAIL. Ok, I did get a few done. The important ones.
  • Publish at least 2 posts a week if not 3. PASS
  • Grow email list. I’ll be happy with any growth. PASS 
  • Fill out productivity guide. FAIL Well, I did fill out some of it but not all of it.
  • No expenses for the month. PASS!!!! Yay!
  • Increase pageviews by 33%. FAIL. I’m kinda sad about this but I’m attributing it to the fact that I had a huge spike in October because a popular blogger shared 3 or 4 of my posts.

    Are you counting income earner or paid out? I struggle with what to count. I track paid out only (since minimum payments could mean I won’t see it for a while).

      Earned. I feel like it’s easier to keep track of that way.

    Awesome job! I love reading how new bloggers are doing. You may inspire me to create one of these income reports now! Your blog looks great and keep it up. It’s hard to juggle so much at once while being a mom so you are doing great! Do you like stumbleupon? SO many different platforms out there it can be really overwhelming to me. Thanks!

      I have a love/hate relationship with StumbleUpon. Lol I love it when it works and hate it when it doesn’t. Sometimes I don’t get any views from it and sometimes I get hundreds. ?‍♀️ Lol
