Blog Biz Goal Party – May Review

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 Mamapreneur Revolution 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 May.

What goals did I set this month ?

 

• My current course Amp up the VOLUME. Launched and doors closed. 

 

• Plan my summer school training – To be honest I haven’t done more than think about this. I’m a little apprehensive about committing to too much (as I have done recently) with our move etc. I think I will run either a 4 week programme or a lighter programme for a longer period over summer. This will be free.

 

• Set up the basic mechanics of the membership site. This is in place, I need to add content and see how it fits in with my other offers.

 

• Set up my content/course navigation system. Almost done!

 

• Set up the tech I have purchased. I’m still working my way through Deadline Funnel. Sam Cart is largely in place, although at my current level I’m limited to 5 products.

 

• Move the free challenge Let’s Get Visible challenge onto evergreen, so it can be started whenever someone wants to take it. – This is totally evergreen now.

 

• Create hit list of potential guest posting opportunities and finish outstanding guest posts. Not even looked at it! #EpicFail

 

• Webinar for next course. This is organised and I will be doing it on Tuesday 6th June at 7.30pm.

 

• Grow my list 20% – Done.

 

 

What one habit did I focus on for this month ? (How did that go?)

 

• Focus – This month I wanted to revisit focus. I started to use a Pomodoro timer app which locks my social media during ‘work’ phases. Really useful for staying on track.

 

What experiments did I try?

 

• I used BeLive TV which allows you to do a split screen on Facebook Live videos so you can interview a guest or do a client ‘hot seat’ as I did.

 

MAY wins

 

• Amp Up The VOLUME had lots of lovely bloggers join and is just about to go into week 2.

 

Must-do-betters

 

• Take time away from work.
• I still need better focus.
• I must get more sleep.
• Better, more streamlined systems.

 

 

Specific June goals

 

• Finish outstanding US guest posts.
• Plan my summer school training.
• Have a successful webinar.
• List growth – +  20%.
• Work on membership site.
• Finish my content/course navigation system.
