The Challenge: Week #2 Update

This post is part of a series. You can read the others here.

Two weeks have passed since I’ve announced my challenge so I want to let you know what I did this week and where I’m standing.

Unfortunately my design was ready at the end of the week and I didn’t want to begin guest posting until it was ready, so I didn’t do it yet, but I have a few posts prepared for the next week. I’ve also done a lot of networking and made a few friends. The number of comments have also increased dramatically and I have 10-20 comments on each post, which makes me really happy.

This week I will continue doing interesting posts and hopefully the traffic will increase even more. Oh, I forgot about the traffic, I’ve reached a peak of 700 visits / day, which is really nice, though an average was at 450, so I’ve reached this goal. Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to get the 120 subscribers I wanted, so I still have to work on that. Hopefully I’ll manage that now that the new design is up and I also have the Aweber forms on the blog.

I have to tell you I’m also preparing to release an ebook, though it might take some time until it’s ready. I’ve only written the first chapter yet.

Unfortunately it’s hard to get new subscribers without offering a quality product and it’s quite time consuming to make one, so it will take me some time until I’ll be able to squeeze subscribers properly.

So here you have the stats and next week’s goals:

This week

• 450 visits / day
• 110 subscribers

Next week

• 1000 visits / day
• 150 RSS subscribers
• 50 Aweber subscribers
