3 months into this
Three months ago today I relaunched my IdeasForWomen blog with some new goals in mind.
One of my long term goals is to add more blogs to the site. On the shorter term I need to first get more visitors to the current blog - and I set some specific goals based on some data I collected for that too.
Last month I gave an update on my progress here too.
So? Where am I now? Originally I wanted to get an average of 10-15 comments per post and 1000 Feedburner subscribers in 6 months. I have 3 months left.
I now think that 5 comments on ave. per post would be pretty good and I would be satisfied with that. I’d still like to have 1000 subscribers if possible - or at least close to it.
How close am I? Not very. But not from lack of trying.
Comments - I haven’t actually counted the number of comments but a rough estimate is that I’m getting close, and that number is still certainly achievable. On some posts I do get as many as 5 comments left.
Subscribers - This number is still really low. I have less than 100 people subscribed. The big feed button and a subscribe by email option hasn’t seemed to have helped any. I still think it should at least theoretically be achievable however. I just posted recently about Tina Su from ThinkSimpleNow.com who got 2000 subscribers in 90 days, so it certainly is possible.
I looked at her blog closely and some others and read advice from some other bloggers and wrote up a list of guidelines for myself to follow when writing.
I started writing at HerProBlog.COM too. Maybe that will help me out some too.
At any rate, I’ve got 3 more months to go to reach the goals I set. I don’t know if I’ll make it or not. But I’ll sure try the best I can.
