How to plan out your blog posts
Do you struggle with making sure you stick with a blog schedule? This post goes over how to plan out your blog posts (and not get stressed out doing so!)
June Results & July Blog Goals 2020
Oh hey there! I'm dragging myself onto the computer to do this post today because it's the first of the month, which means we've got to do our report on the June Results, and planning it out for the July Blog Goals! If you'd like to see the previous entry, you can find that here. As some of you may know if you've been following me over on Twitter or Instagram, I struggled majorly in the last few weeks. I've been battling a lot of mental health concerns, and that zoning out life is real. However, I'm really pleased that I managed to stick with the majority of the month the way I wanted to, and hustled my little butt off. So without further ado, here's where we ended up for June:

Engagement - 2.3k (-700 on goal)
Engaged Audience - 1.9k (-1.1k on goal)
So as you can see, I fricken DOMINATED my Pinterest goals. I had a bunch of extra traffic that came through, and it really was because one of my pins went semi-viral (13k impressions, woo!). Really happy with my Twitter growth, and also surprised with Instagram to be really honest. I didn't think that was going to get as a high as it did. Little bummed out about the blog sign-ups, BUT if you haven't seen already, I do currently have my new free E-Book that has launched which you can download just below which is super exciting!
So let's talk about our July goals. I'm hoping to continue to work on my Pinterest, and get back into the habit of posting every day on Instagram. I had a non-official goal of posting 18 posts last month, but only managed to get to 10. In fairness to myself, I think if I hadn't of crashed out the last two weeks, I would've got there. Getting back to maybe three a week for this month (so 15) might be a safer option so we'll do that. I have yet to write everything down in my written journal which is also a bummer, but I'll get to that today!
I'd love to have my first affiliate sale this month! I support some amazing creators over at Creative Market, Blossom Themes, and also my Amazon Affiliates as well. As always, these may pay me out a commission if you choose to go and purchase a thing from there!
