Welcome to the Blog Biz Goal Party! Whoop! My round-up to make sure I stay accountable to my goals and also share how I’m growing my blog biz. Each month members of my Facebook community the Mamapreneur Revolution can all add their goal updates in the comments and I’ll pick one person, who I will give a shout out to on my Twitter feed (22k followers). I might be able to rustle up some extra goodies too! There will be a winner each month.

Well you already know I’m a fan….so pleased I joined the Mamaprenuer Revolution and made myself do and finish The Let’s Get Visible course. I’m not making money from my blog yet…..or going viral but I am seeing little wins mainly through Pinterest. What I have learned is there are so many wonderful supporters out there and I love that with all you do, you still manage to find time to respond and guide.
Thank you Aby
Thanks for all your input Aby, it’s greatly appreciated. I actually did ok with my April goals, achieved my blog users (+53%) and page views (+25%) targets. Also reached my social media goals, apart from instagram where I’m still waiting to break through 1k. definitely need to put more effort in to that one! I moved up another 10 places in the Trips100-aiming for top 50 now. My biggest triumph this month was launching the linky that I co host and getting 27 posts linked up for the first week. Was so scared it would be a flop but it’s going well.
Wow, well done on last months goals. I signed up for the let’s get visible course then my computer completely died. I’m still playing catch up after weeks of getting everything back as well as trying to spend more time with the family. As soon as I get myself back on track taking that course is top of my goals list. Good luck with all your goals for this month x

Really interesting to read your goals and see how you monitor them month on month. Might just have to try this myself 🙂
Way to go on your goals for last month. I have loved following to see how it is all going xx
