It’s been a blast; I’ve smashed my target and am over the moon. With over 5,000 page views in the first 100 days now the real work starts.
I did a mini review after 77 days (HERE)
just to see where I was going and was
short on my target of 1,000 views per month.
I used this retrospective to see what worked, what didn’t and to figure
out where to go from there.
I quickly realised that I needed to work a lot more on 2 main
ingredients, content and marketing. So,
I wrote about what I knew (mainly Scrabble) and shared my blog across Facebook
and twitter. I’m linked with many Scrabble groups and clubs around the World so
sharing my Scrabble blogs proved very successful. The top 5 posts are all about Scrabble:
422 views – Summary of Scrabble Blogs - HERE
274 – Introducing Scrabble at your library - HERE
271 views – Scrabble & Literacy - HERE
265 views – A Dog is For Life - HERE
207 views – Alternative Scrabble - HERE
This is a huge difference as my previous top 3 blogs ranged
from 130 to 118 views.
I noted that my Stephen King/IT blog (HERE) didn’t do as well as I though it should have so I planned on promoting it
again on social media. The blog was
previously at 30 views and after sharing it’s now at 109 so that’s cool. In fact I just watched the remake again last
night. We all float down here Georgie...
To get down to the nitty gritty, my target was 1,000 views
per month which equates to 33 per day so after the first 100 days my target was
3,300. I’ve just tipped over 5,000 views now
so all I can say is thank you everyone for reading and sharing my blogs.

So, for the next 100 days, until 31st March 2018 I’m setting myself the following
targets:
- 5,000 additional page views.
- Write at least 4 posts per week with at least one post per week getting over 250 views (i.e. great content).
- Work on getting followers.
- Find at least one blogger that will guest blog for me and I can guest blog for them.
