Published Posts
4 posts went out his month. I do plan to move forward into the New Year posting only every other week. Need to slow down on publishing and spend time focusing on promotion.
Posting content is currently my favorite part of blogging. I enjoy sharing ideas with those who want to read them.
Users & Pageviews
Pinterest Impressions
I did start publishing pins again. My goal was to publish one new pin every other day. I was not perfect on this because Pinterest was glitching on my laptop. I ended up going to the library and publishing pins there because I was having so much difficulty.
Email Subscribers
No new email subscribers. I am stuck at 5.
Income
I accidentally made personal purchases after clicking on one of my links. When you do this you do not get paid.
The negative income is because one of the purchases from last month was returned. It truly is a bummer to see negative income, but it is what it is.
Expenses
My expenses for December were all from renewing my hosting with Bluehost. I had a few concerns over some of the charges and Bluehost’s support was quick to answer and address them.
Goals
I need to figure out my goals for 2023. I think some of them will
-get going with Facebook, Pinterest and Maybe Instagram or Twitter
-Seriously Consider YouTube channel
-Get my Pageviews back up to 1000 in a single month
-Make some money $300 total
-One Sponsored Post $50-$100
-Find Other Ways to Promote my Articles- forums, Facebook groups
-Gather Email Subscribers 25 total
I am looking into the 12 week year. I think during January I am going to set up a plan for February, March, and April. The main focus will be social media and promotion.
Strategy/Changes
I started getting back to pinning my content. I am going to publish content half as frequently in the New Year. This will mean every other Wednesday. I am going to put more effort into the promotion of my content.
Also in December I have started pushing myself to start waking up before my kids to blog. I want to move this time earlier and also stay consistent with it going into the New Year. I find this morning time the best for getting work done. My baby does take a morning nap, but I find myself more distracted then with phone calls or housework.
Resources
Bluehost
Grammarly
Feelings
I am proud of myself for completing 2 full years of blogging. I really wish I could share more progress with you. I am still hopeful at times. Other times I am really struggling. I still want to make this a full time job. My time nannying is going to come to an end soon and I will have to figure out another option if I cannot get this to work.
Conclusion
Two years down. I have spent over two years learning how to blog. Hopefully I can spend the next two learning how to monetize this blog and make it a business.
