A New Goal Achieved!
Last Update: June 29, 2012
Hello everyone! I thought it was time to write my first blog post here on WA.
I've read many of yours and have learned a lot. Today, I want to share my excitement with another goal achieved.
First, I successfully got my website up and running. I still have a lot to do to make it fantastic, but it's alive and breathing and today is averaging 70-100 hits a day, which is a huge accomplishment in my book.
Then, I completed the 30 in 30 Challenge on SA. Having completed that, I didn't want to lose my momentum.
I created my own challenge: 30 Articles / Blog Posts about "How to Start a Vegetable Garden".
TODAY I PUBLISHED ARTICLE 30!
There is plenty more to share about gardening (it seems the topic is never ending!), but I'm excited to have another accomplishment under my belt.
In addition, I've challenged myself with a blog post a day on my website.
I do currently have my RSS feed going, which turned out to be much easier to set up than I thought once I got on the right path (two days wasted on this one :( ). But it's working and I'm happy :)
Next thing I need to work on is developing a subscriber list.
I would love advice on taking this website to the next level. It's not converting yet and would love suggestions on how to "sell" without being overly promotional in this niche.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to your comments!

Great accomplishments!! What an awesome start!! I would try to focus in on one niche say the gardening niche with home canning. I would then stick with that topic and connect with that audience. This will also help when you start building a list. Best of luck to you!!

Awesome, AJ! good hits by the way, and congratts on finishing the garden challenge, I have truly enjoyed it and the wife is going to do it in the spring. :) Send me a link to your site, I have a couple questions for you on your RSS :) Also, you and I are at the point on the subscriber list, so sharing back and forth might be helpful? (Hint hint) I was going to tackle the RSS and list first thing next week, it is on my scedule. Keep up the good work!
