Welcome to the Blog Biz Goal Party! Whoop! My round-up to make sure I stay accountable to my goals and also share how I’m growing my blog biz. Each month members of my Facebook community the MomBossSquad can all add their goal updates in the comments and I’ll pick one person, who I will give a shout out to on my Twitter feed (22k followers). I might be able to rustle up some extra goodies too! There will be a winner each month.
So, let’s get going, here’s the low down on my blog biz from February.

What goals did I set this month ?
*Research Podcast – Signed up for a free Podcasting course. Still need to actually do it, but it’s progress
*Successfully support the students on the Blog Growth Accelerator – Had really great feedback from the students.
*Pitch 5 UK magazines – Made a couple of press contacts and created a press release. Still need to actually pitch.
*Begin to create next free challenge/course – This is all done and content written. Just need to sort the landing page.
*Start researching the next paid-for course – Topic decided and modules mapped out.
*Give enough time (an hour a day) to the courses I have bought for myself – Need to work harder on this.
*Finish outstanding US guest posts – Still need to finish these.
*Create hit list of potential guest posting opportunities – Decided to finish US ones before I compile this.
*Grow my list – retarget the numbers – 2/3 of the way through the 1st quarter I have grown my list by 48% (target for entire 1st 1/4 was 20%)
*Devise a content creation strategy – I have held off finalising my plan, as I have a hot seat with my coaching group next week, so I’m waiting to see what comes from that.
*Sort out my sales funnels – Really thrashed things out and have the plan in place.
What one habit did I focus on for this month ? (How did that go?)
- Getting on with it – This month I wanted to stop over-analysing and just get going with the tasks that I’ve been pondering on for too long. I made some good headway and finished a huge 16 page spreadsheet doc which is now for sale. Plus some other stuff got done too.
What experiments did I try?
- I learned about Facebook pixels!
- Started using Pinterest group boards a bit more.
