To give you an idea of the momentum, I have published 4 Hubs in the last 5 days. This compares to 4 Hubs for the entire month of August, none at all in July and only 1 in June. So as you can see, my production has increased dramatically. I am not seeing it in the way of earnings yet but I do think that all of this effort will pay off by the end of the year. My biggest hope is that I can continue to work at this pace through the end of the year. Then I will start thinking about taking some time off.
As mentioned in some earlier blog posts, I also want to devote some major effort to some Amazon product Hubs. I have also written one of those in the last 5 days as well and plan to at least begin another one tonight. Of course it will take some time for me to see the impact on Amazon affiliate income, but I would like to see a nice increase in activity by the end of the year also. I may be too late to have a major income boost for this Christmas season since I don't think I am all that great at generating traffic yet. But a slow consistent effort should pay off over the next year and put me in a decent position for next year.
My goal is to capitalize on all of this effort in order to see an approximately 30% increase in traffic by the end of the year. Last month was my best overall month for traffic and even though this month is down from August, it is still better than many of my other months in the past. I am trying to get past the ups and downs and focus on the longer term trends which are clearly up at this point. I would love to hear your plans from now through the end of the year so feel free to share and comment.

I agree that looking at longer term trends really does help. From day to day things don't always looks great, but as long as they're generally going up (even if there are down times in the meantime) you know you're on the right track.
ReplyDeleteRuth,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your encouraging words. Unfortunately, I am trying to figure out what article topic I would like to write for today and I seem to be stuck. I guess it will be OK though since I just woke up.
@Kidas,
ReplyDeleteIf you look at this as a business and act like a CEO, it should be super easy to attain your goals. That I keep telling myself and I believe everyone should do that.
Glad to see you are actually working this stuff and getting results
Dennis,
ReplyDeleteI am truly trying to do what you suggest and look at this as a business.
