April Review and May 2011 Goals

May 3, 2011 in Blogging with 22 Comments

Another month of blogging here on The Daily Walk has come and gone. It is time for me to look back  the goals that I set for the month and see how I did, and see where I need to go.

Here are the list of goals that I set for the month of April:

  • Increase pageviews from March – I accomplished this. I hope I can continually see this numbed grow. It was up 2% from April. I am happy with this and hopefully I can see an even bigger jump in May.
  • Respond to all comments – I was able to do this. Not as fast as I would like, but I was able to respond to all. This is something that I will continue to try to do and in a more efficient manner.
  • Give away another product – I did not get to do this I have something lined up for May though!
  • Complete redesign and subscription page - I am almost finished with this. I still have to add the subscription page and am still contemplating whether I should add some widget ares in the footer. This should be complete by the end of May!
  • Do my first video post… - Still a no go on this. Hopefully find time for this in May!
  • Do a three-day series of posts – I have a series lined up and penciled in for May. Get ready! It’s a coming!

Some Happening from April:

  • I was overall happy with the content that I was able to produce. I feel like I am finding my niche and where my blog needs to be.
  • I couple of my posts where featured over at Kevin’s blog. You can see the one’s here and here. This was exciting.
  • I continued to stay active in the blogging community. Commenting and following other great blogs.
  • Stats where up in almost every category which is exciting.
  • I was able to add 3 more RSS subscribers.
  • I read and reviewed a couple of great books:

Goals for May:

  • Continue to stay involved int he blogging community.
  • Complete the series of posts I have planned.
  • Complete the blog redesign.
  • Review a couple of new books.
  • Gain two new RSS subscribers this month (at 60).
  • Do a vlog.
  • Continue to gain readers.
  • Do another giveaway.

So there you have it. Another month of blogging has come and gone and I am looking forward to a great May!

Thanks to all who are a part of the community, and for taking the time read and comment. It really means a lot to me to get that message that says I have a new comment posted to my blog.

Thanks to All,

Adam

    Great! Congrats man.

    I was going to do my next BetaChristian interview via video, but after recording the questions, I looked at the video and thought to myself. “what a goofball”. Scrapped. It will be text.

      Inspired me as well! I’m the “goal guy” and I have rarely set any goals for my blog. Thanks for reminding me of the importance of accountability and writing things down!
