Month 6 Blog Growth Update: Checking In (Pageviews, Subscribers, and Income)

Elna July 13, 2017 65 Comments

Hi there!

Welcome to my series, Mom to Mompreneur Blog Growth Update! Wow! that was a mouthful.

For those of you who are new, my name is Elna Cain and I’m a freelance writer and a mama to twin toddlers.

I started TwinsMommy back in March as a way to blog some more – because I just love blogging ? – and engaging with a new audience.

It wasn’t until about a few weeks later – in April – that I really wanted to grow this blog.

I wanted to start a new blog and grow traffic, readers and income and share my story because I know a lot of you are struggling growing your blog too!

I also want to help mamas go from being a mom to being a mompreneur.

Blogging just for the sake of blogging isn’t going to earn you income. Turning your blog into a biz and then creating products, well that’s where all the money is. And I’m chronicling that journey with you!

To catch up with how I’m growing my blog, check out my blog growth series:

Before you get into the nitty gritty of this post, if you’re reading this and don’t have a blog, but want to start one, I have an easy step-by-step tutorial on how to start a blog using SiteGround!

Okay.

Let’s get real here.

Last month was absolutely terrible in two out of my three metrics. Why?

I didn’t meet my goals and I didn’t publish a lot of content. I’ll explain more in the post, so let’s get to the numbers.

1. On My Site

I thought August was my slowest month, but it didn’t compare to September. At least I was GROWING in August.

Here are my stats last month:

Looking back I’m shocked I reached 20k pageviews in the summer no less.

Here are my stats for September:

Did I Accomplish My Goals?

Launch my printable Mompreneur Blog + Biz planner – FAIL. I had planned for it to be available in September, but life got in the way and my freelance writing picked up big time.
Set up my Mompreneur Giveaway – FAIL. I only worked on the graphic and reaching out to a few more bloggers.
Start planning another webinar – FAIL. Didn’t even think about it.
Aim for two posts a week – FAIL.
Increase organic traffic (it’s around 6% now) – YES! It’s now 7.11%

Ouch, right?

I was shocked when I saw these numbers. I’m down a stinking 21% in pageviews.

I worked so hard in the beginning, putting out content, promoting my posts, pinning my content hundreds of times, joining Pinterest groups, commenting on blogs, and for what?

Okay. Maybe I’m being a bit melodramatic. I’m in a funk. Life goes on right?

So, what the heck happened here? Was it the summer slump finally hitting me? No. The biggest reason is that I wasn’t producing content.

In July I published seven meaty posts.

In August, it was five (one was a quick post telling everyone about my webinar and the other was a post on YoutTube moms – not meaty posts at all).

In September only five (but two of them are blog reports).

So, not only did my published content go down, but some of the quality also wasn’t there. But, you want to know what’s awesome?

Most of my posts for September generated a lot of comments (around 50 per post). So even though I was low on traffic, my comments seemed to soar 🙂

I also updated some things on my site. I updated my headshot and instead of making it circular, it’s now a rectangle. I also updated my About page and included some of my most popular posts.

As for a plan for growing my blog, I think the next step for me is to do some guest posting or interviews. I have one lined up in October and maybe a few more too. I’m looking for podcasts as well since those don’t take up much of my time.

I think if I do some guest posting that I’ll hopefully reach a new audience that can help me grow my blog 🙂

Did I Make Money?

September 2016 Income:

This income only includes money generated from Twins Mommy. It does not include my freelance writing service, course sales, coaching clients and writing clients.

Affiliates: $41

September 2016 Expenses:

This does not include my hosting fees, which would be about $10/month because Twins Mommy is hosted with my other sites on a cloud server.

Tailwind – $15
Mailchimp – $15

Total: $ 11

Yay! My first month where I’m positive. It’s not a lot, but I’m still not focusing much on affiliate marketing.

Goals for October

Launch the Mompreneur giveaway
Create an epic post on how to start a blog
Reach 20k+ pageviews
Create one post a week
Start guest posting strategically

2. Pinterest Marketing

I gained 500 new followers for September. That puts me at 4.8k followers.

This is a decrease from last month, but I’m happy that I’m still growing.

I know having lots of followers doesn’t mean more traffic back to my blog. My average monthly viewers tells me how big of a reach my pins are generating.

It’s down again from last month. So for the past two months I’m not reaching as many people as before.

Did I Accomplish My Goals?

Gain another 1k followers – FAIL. I only gained half that.
Pin only 130-150 pins a day using Tailwind – I did drop to 150 pins, but only for a few weeks before I dropped again to 100 pins a day
Update my Facebook and Pinterest Promo freebie – YES! It’s updated with more groups to join.

One of the biggest reasons things are slowing down is because I started pinning less. Why am I pinning less? Well, I can’t pin 200 times a day forever. People would look over my pins because they see them all the time.

Eventually I have to find a happy medium. Right now, it’s 100 pins.

I also feel that the same people are viewing my pins, making them less effective. I have created more alternate pins and am scheduling those on Tailwind.

Doing such a drastic change will take time to see the full effect. The fact that people are still resaving my pins every day and every hour and I’m gaining followers is only a good thing.

Tailwind Tribes

One thing I started trying out is Tailwind‘s Tribes. It’s a new feature Tailwind is unrolling. Tribes are located in your Tailwind dashboard and it’s a place to share content with a group of people. Think of it like a Pinterest group.

Joining tribes just gets your content more resaves and reaches more people.

I currently belong to three tribes. The only way to join a tribe is if the owner of the tribe provides a link to join. If you’re a Tailwind user, you can try out the tribes fo’ free!

Group Board

If you don’t already know, I have a Pinterest group board – you can join! – and it already has over 100 contributors!

And guess what? Influencer Bryan Harris from VideoFruit joined my little ol’ group board. Totally psyched by that.

Goals for October

Monitor the 100 pins a day strategy
Keep creating alternate images for my blog posts

3. Growing My Email List

Last month I had 1290 subscribers. And this month?

I gained 189 subscribers!

It is a bit lower than usual but that’s okay. My lead magnet – The Mom Boss Vault – is still converting so that’s great.

Did I Accomplish My Goals?

Launch my giveaway – FAIL
Gain 800 subscribers (mostly from the future giveaway) – FAIL

I was really banking on having my giveaway to gain more subscribers. With client work, managing other blogs and spending time with the twins, it was hard to squeeze in the Mompreneur giveaway.

I also didn’t have any new content upgrades last month. I do want to do more, but it takes a bit more time to get one set up.

Goals for October

Gain ~800 subscribers (mostly from future giveaway)
Continue to add content in my Mom Boss Vault

4. Blogger Outreach

One of the cool things this last month was how many people commented on my blog posts and on Facebook. I’m humbled how I’m helping other mompreneurs and lady bosses out there.

I just found out that a follower actually recommended my blog and she’s not even a mama! Wha-what? I think this is the first time this has happened and I’m shocked, happy, humbled and grateful.

It’s stuff like this that really helps me realize that even though I’m not gaining a lot of traffic, I’m growing my followers by leap and bounds.

As I mentioned earlier, I am connecting with other mompreneur bloggers and will be guest posting. I also have my HuffPo post in the cue, but needs some more formatting before I can submit it for review.

I didn’t make any goals for last month, so for now I’ll continue to comment on blogs when I can, reach out to other bloggers about guest posting or doing a podcast and hopefully these efforts will help me grow my traffic.

I’m Doing This Without Help

I started growing TwinsMommy only knowing about digital marketing, since that’s my freelance writing niche. I have yet to try any courses or buy any products to help me grow my blog.

Why?

Well, I really want to try out my methods first. I want to see if what I know from marketing my business, can help me grow my personal blog.

Will I need some help in the future? Maybe. My traffic suffered last month and if I took a course, would that have helped me? Probably not.

What would help me is having the time to grow my blog. According to Jon Morrow,

In my opinion, it’s pretty much impossible to build a popular blog in less than 10 hours a week. If you want to grow quickly, tack on an additional 10.

Um, yeah.

I know I don’t spend 10 hours on this blog. I just don’t have the time. Some weeks I spend 10 hours, but lately I haven’t. I’m hoping over time, I will have more time to focus on this blog.

For now, I have to focus on my other blog since I have a service and a product.

With the hours I use for this blog, I will focus on guest posting, promoting my posts, creating epic content and networking with other mama bloggers.

Over to you – how did you do for traffic, followers and income last month?

Hi Elna, This is a follow up on Paul’s question. Like him, I hope this query isn’t too silly sounding. As a beginner, how many pins should you post daily in order to grow without being spammy on Pinterest. I ask because I’m still a bit confused about pinning the same pin to different boards. Is that considered duplicates or not, and is it okay in Pinterest? Thanks.Reply to Larry

Hi Larry, The amount of pins you pin each day isn’t relevant. Pinterest wants you to be consistent. So if you pin 150 times a day, you have to do that every single day. But, many pinners don’t pin that much because of the idea of spamming boards. You don’t want that same pin being pinned to your board over and over again. So the best thing to have is a lot of boards. You can split a niche topic to have several board ideas like the topic of Pregnancy can be: First pregnancy, Pregnancy tips, Pregnancy, first trimester pregnancy, second trimester pregnancy, third trimester pregnancy etc… So if you have a pregnancy pin you can pin that to all of those boards instead of your one pregnancy board. Make sense?Reply to Elna

Thanks Elna, That makes a lot of sense. Cool tactic too! I would have never thought of doing that, ie. one pin to many boards, thinking that it would be considered as duplicates. One last thing, when you pin the same pin to boards a, b & c (at separate times) for example do you: 1. “repin” them, as in go to the pin URL you used and pin to another board 2. Or Upload a new pin (which creates a new Pinterest URL Or, do both work the same way? Not sure if one or the other is considered duplicate, which I know Pinterest isn’t fond of. Again, thanks for the help! Very much appreciated.Reply to Larry

Hey Larry! I would only repin on your Community page and not from your board. Let other pinners repin those pins for you. You can definitely create new pins and upload them!Reply to Elna

Got it. Thank you so much for all the tips Elna!

Hi Elna. This may perhaps be a stupid question as no doubt the answer might be simple, but for us beginners to Pinterest markeing, its not obvious. If you are or were pinning say 150 times a day and yet only publishing 1 blog post a week, how on earth do you produce 150 pins a day, especially if you want to try and have say at least 50% of the pins as your own? Great post as always (even if I am late coming across it 🙂 and I will Pinterest pin this post for ye! All the best!Reply to Paul

Hi Paul, 150 times a day is a tad much BUT if you have a lot of group boards and your own personal boards (over 100) then you CAN pin 150 times a day. Usually you need an automated scheduler like Tailwind to do this for you as it’s time consuming and you want to space out your pinning of the SAME pin throughout the day (not all at once). I would also pin a variety of your pins, not just a single pin over and over again. So if you have one blog post, you can create 10 pins for that one post. Each pin will be different with a different photo and headline but they all lead back to that one post. That way you can pin a lot if you’re a new blogger.Reply to Elna

You are truly inspiring. I started a blog about a month ago with the hopes of generating extra income and providing a better life for my family. I have 3 young children and work full time. It’s a challenge to find the time to work on my blog and also provide quality engaging content. I appreciate you sharing your journey and your knowledge. I am dedicated and determined to stick with it. I am excited to see what the future holds.Reply to Shelly

Hi Shelly! Thank you so much! Congrats on starting a blog! Yes, the first 3 months are crazy since you are learning more than posting and promoting. Thanks so much for stopping by!Reply to Elna

I want to start making progress posts like this. I feel they are so helpful both on a personal level and to the blogging community.Reply to Amanda

Hi Amanda That’s great to know! Yes, traffic type of posts are great for new bloggers to help them! They are transparent and really help your audience!Reply to Elna

Hi Elna, Thank you for being so inspirational as a mom of twins, writer and entrepeneur. Amazing what you have created in this year! Keep up the good work and well done. Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy 2017. Greetings from the Netherlands – Zwolle, EstherReply to Esther

Hey Esther! Thanks so much! Merry Christmas to you too! I’m crossing my fingers that 2017 will be a better year!! I hope you have a great year next year too!Reply to Elna

Hey Elna, Nice to see that you’re growing your blog with a constant pace. It takes years to achieve your stats to a new blogger and you’re doing pretty great. Just wanted to stop by and wish you luck.Reply to Shafi

Hi Shafi, Thanks so much. I feel like I’m growing at a snail’s pace! I’m totally late doing my next blog traffic but that’s because there’s not much to report! I’m growing but it’s slow…Reply to Elna

Hey, it takes time. I think you’re doing incredibly well, for what it’s worth. Most bloggers give up much sooner and you’re sticking to it, so growth will come. (I speak from experience, though my blog is young and tiny. I also developed a website 18 years ago that’s going strong with millions of monthly visitors and is my main source of income. It took 3 years to get to the point where it was profitable).Reply to Anne

Hi Anne, That’s great news to hear! Yes, it just takes time. Thanks for the encouragement 🙂Reply to Elna

Elna, You have accomplished so much!!! You are awesome!!! I wouldn’t worry about the pageviews and the few fails….as moms… things often happen slower than we hope lol. Seriously, mama you are awesome!!! Keep up the great work!!!Reply to Kayla

Hey Kayla! Thanks so much. Enjoyed your webinar, but I’m afraid I won’t NOT blog 🙂 I am a freelance blogger you know 🙂Reply to Elna

I’m especially impressed about the increase in Pinterest followers. Would love to hear how you managed that! This is the first time I’ve been to your blog – coming from the Take Action Tribe!Reply to Marjie

Hey Marjie! Thanks so much! It’s awesome right! The short answer is to pin a lot! I’ll write a post on this.Reply to Elna

Congrats! You’re positive! That really exciting! Great job.Reply to Barrie

Thanks so much! I’m crossing my fingers for next month that I get more pageviews!Reply to Elna

Amazing post and very helpful! I love how you are keeping track of everything. I need to try this ! Thank for sharing ! Rita | http://styleroundtheclock.com Reply to Rita

Hey Rita! Thank you so much. I’m so happy you found some tips to help you grow your blog. I always worry that these reports might come off as pretentious or like I’m gloating, but from this post, it’s obvious that I’m trying to be honest with my audience!Reply to Elna

Hi 🙂 I just wanted to say that I’m not a mum either and I love you blog! So much useful info and great writing! So I say keep it up, some months we are slower than others, and some months we don’t have as much time as we’d like. That’s just how life it, congratualtions on your positive income number! 🙂Reply to Tale

Hey Tale, Thanks so much! My content is applicable to any blogger trying to grow their blog so that’s great you are learning a thing or two from it. I appreciate your words. Yes, there will be slow months and months when I just don’t have the time. It’s hard because I have ALL these plans! Grr… 😉Reply to Elna

I love your month updates, Elna!! More than the update, they are full of tips. Love the way you are growing your list. I am learning so much from you. Thank you for that:-) You are achieving so many things, I am sure Twinsmommy is inspiring many other blogger newbies like me:-)Reply to Sireesha

Hey Sireesha! Thanks so much for your kinds words. I need to learn a thing or two from you! You’ve exceeded my goals by a long shot in your monthly update! Congrats to you! I’m learning as I go and trying new things to see if that helps. I know this isn’t a spring. Blogging is a marathon.Reply to Elna

I love reading your posts, you always have such great information. Even though you didn’t reach your goals, your doing great. I only have one 18 month old, I can’t even imagine how hard it is to fit blog time in when you have more than one kiddo.Reply to Adree

Hey Adree! Thanks so much for the support! I’m glad I’m progressing with some areas at least!Reply to Elna

You have such great and honest insight. I really value all the information you share about your blogging journey and goals. Definitely looking forward to next months update!Reply to Dani

Hey Dani! Thanks so much! It’s hard to grow your blog, especially when you write about it. You don’t want to tell people your fails, but if it can help others NOT fail, then it’s a good thing to include. I’m not shy at telling everyone my failures, although I might be once I launch a product. But, I started this path and will see it through. Thanks for supporting me and I hope next month will be killer!Reply to Elna

It is amazing how much you have been able to achieve in the last six months! You’ve become a big name in this niche and I am glad I get to be your friend. Some months will be better than others each month is not the end, it is just one part of the beautiful journey! You are wonderful. Keep inspiring!Reply to McKinzie

Hey McKinzie, Thanks so much! You’re doing awesome too mama! I’m amazed by the mama friends I’ve made. You, Cath, Candis, and Suzi are my core mama blogger friends 🙂Reply to Elna

I still think you are doing prett great for your first six months of blogging. Love you ebook of Facebook and Pinterest boards to follow. I’ve just started following your advice to grow my blog.Reply to Esther

Hi Esther! Thanks so much. Glad you are enjoying my FB and Pinterest promo list. 🙂Reply to Elna

I seriously appreciate your honesty in your blog growth, Elna! It’s this transparency that makes you a great resource when others are struggling and trying to figure out what to do. Even though you didn’t hit all of your goals, it looks like you are having success. Even a profit!!Reply to Kecia

Hey Kecia! Thanks so much! Yeah, I totally don’t feel I grew much at all this last month. I’m hoping to make next month a big growth!Reply to Elna

Elna, I am loving your blog! These posts are super helpful and so insightful to a newbie blogger like me! I have a question for you, maybe you’ve covered this but I haven’t read it yet (just discovered you two days ago 😉 but here goes – in your opinion, when is a good time to monetize my site? Currently mine is not monetized at all. I was concentrating on my branding strategy (still a long way to go really), gaining readers, etc. and I don’t have a lot of content yet. Should I wait awhile before trying anything with affiliate links, etc. or just go ahead and add them and see what happens? I’m so excited to read all of your posts – I have some catching up to do!Reply to Jill

Hey Jill, Thanks so much for supporting me! As for when to start, you can start right away. There’s no law that says you should wait until you reach 20k pageviews or have 100 subscribers. If you have a strong promotional strategy then you have the potential to earn an income in your first month blogging! Try it out!Reply to Elna

Thanks so much, Elna!Reply to Jill

Hi Elna…I think you are doing absolutely amazing!! Guess what…I haven’t blogged for 4 months (international house move)….havent emailed my subscribers for the same length of time…..haven’t started my Pinterest strategy. There are times when we just can’t do everything. It’s ok! It maks us real. And what’s great is you bare that in your blog report. It’s actually very encouraging to all of us that we dont have to be super mama bloggers all the time (we can’t be). There is too much blog advice out there that just puts the pressure on (great as it may be). I love reading your posts. They are inspirational and helpful and at the same time real. It is often frustrating knowing what you need to do but not having the time to do it…I agree. But I think its impossible for a mompreneur or any entrepreneur to have a completed ‘to do’ list. Goes against our nature! Be encouraged…you’re doing fantastic. You inspire me 🙂Reply to Joanna

Hey Joanna! Thanks for that pep talk. Wow, an international move eh? Now, that is hard. Congrats on succeeding. Can’t wait to read about it on your blog. It’s nice to know that people are happy to see what progress I do have and that it’s okay to not accomplish all my goals. The next six month will go by fast and we’ll see what happens!Reply to Elna

Okay, you made $11. Coffee is on you next time! 😉 (I’ve basically abandoned The Blind Writer.) I’ve not posted on my author site in a long time. Wording Well remains my kick-ass blog and source of income. 🙂 Great that you’re honest. Most people like that. That’s why I am, too. ALWAYS.Reply to Lorraine

Hey Lorraine! You ARE honest on your blog. I’m sorry I’m not up-to-date on Wording Well, I’m just dang busy! I’m still on your list so keep them coming. Thanks for support and when we get a chance to do coffee, it’ll be on me 🙂Reply to Elna

Elna thank you, thank you, thank you for your honesty here. It’s hard to admit to the world you missed your goals. I know because the same thing happened to me in September and I’m getting ready to write about it. At first it really got to me and I was feeling down on myself. But I’m turning it around into what I can learn from it and what to do better in October. It’s humbling to say the least. Thank you for your post. I think it will help a lot of bloggers, this one included. It’s so easy to see the glory in the income reports but rarely do people have the courage to admit things didn’t go well. I think this post will help a lot of people! And good for you for increasing time with your kids and growing your freelance business. You are a rockstar!Reply to Jen

Hi Jen! Oh, thank you so much. I can’t wait to read your post too. I’m amazed by your growth on your blog and in your FB group! You go girl. I can’t wait to read your goals post. Yeah, writing all those FAILS was definitely hard!Reply to Elna

Hi Elna, I appreciate your honesty. You did great considering the time you dedicated to this blog. I have a question about Pinterest. A couple weeks ago I was excited to see that one of my posts was pinned 120 times but when I looked at my Pinterest analytics I noticed that there were no clicks to my site. Do you think that most people focus on pinning lots of times daily and they don’t even check the post? I feel that they just see a nice image, a good title pin it and that is it. If that is the case, it doesn’t help us grow our traffic. What is your opinion on that? Thanks, MinucaReply to Minuca

Hi Minuca, I’m sorry to hear that your pins don’t have a click-through. My analtyics shows that Pinterst is my number one source for traffic so it could be your pin image that is affecting your click-through rate? Try incentivizing your pin!Reply to Elna

I appreciate your determination. What I think is great is even though you see yourself as maybe not putting enough time into your blog I see you putting time into your family which is necessary to be successful. My blog is almost 5 months in and I realized that I needed a good balance between being a mom and mompreneur. You’re on your way to great things and we are all here along the way watching your progress. Keep up the good work.Reply to Lorin

Hey Lorin, That’s a great perspective. I do need to focus on my family and client work above anything else. But, knowing that I’m growing a huge audience on Twins Mommy is hard to ignore! Balancing is a skill, which I’m learning to master every day!Reply to Elna

I always love your blog posts! Thanks for sharing your blog stats so that we can all learn and improve together! I have just started succeeding with Pinterest traffic but see the focus on one of my posts. Worried when it loses its steam! Any advice to keep it popular on Pinterest?Reply to Julie

Hi Julie! Thanks so much for your support. That’s fantastic news that you’re succeeding on Pinterest. I wouldn’t worry about a pin losing steam. It will pick up organically. If not, continue to promote it!Reply to Elna

I was anxiously awaiting your next post! Congratulations on turning a profit!!! I don’t have twins, by my two are 21 months apart and we homeschool. I just (finally) was able to launch my blog because I implemented quite a few techniques to get more time in my day. Maybe one or two of them can help you out. I’m sure with all you have on your plate you are already really good at time management, but I’ve gained an extra 14 hours a week with one of them, yay! I wrote a blog post about it, trust me, I feel your pain! http://thirtyonemom.com/2016/09/23/13-ways-time-will-make-you-rich/Reply to Deanna

Deanna! Congrats on launching your blog! I will read your post after I respond here. Thanks so much for following me. I wasn’t sure if I was going to write a blog post today and I’m so glad I did. Sticking to once a week has been difficult this past month. My client work sucks everything I have! And while I do make a living from my writing, it takes a lot of me. I need that creativity to write and when I’m dried up, it’s hard to do much of anything. I’m glad I’m pushing through it though! Thanks again for your comment!Reply to Elna

Thank you so much, Elna! I’m happy you did write your post and pushed through because I was looking so forward to it. Maybe I’m being selfish ha ha ha. I felt kind of odd adding a link in the comment to my own blog post, but I truly felt that it could be helpful. And if I can help you get a little more time to blog, I can read more of your posts. There I go being selfish again. 😉Reply to Deanna

Hey Deanna! Yeah, that’s one of the main things I like about commenting. CommentLuv allows yous to leave a blog post of yours. It’s super helpful to other bloggers that leave a comment too! It can help you bring traffic back to your blog!Reply to Elna

Hey Elna, I know it sucks not to reach your goals, but you’re still doing pretty great! And you’re still the most productive person I know :p Do you think you’d consider getting a course? I’ve thought about it before but I kinda feel like it would preclude me from ever creating my own course on that topic. So I’ve abstained. Plus, I have a feeling that all the information is actually available online, you just have to wrap your head around it, put it in order and make it work for you. PS. I can’t wait to see your mompreneur giveaway and biz planner~!Reply to Cath

Hey Cath, During times like these I do consider getting a course. I’m interested in Mariah’s F*ck Yeah Funnels. I’m interested in Ruth’s Blogging Elite course or at least her book (I think I actually do have her book somewhere). It’s just that I don’t have the time to do a course right now. I have too much on my plate. Plus, I don’t want to be tainted too much you know…I want to find out my own strategies and tips to grow my blog and become an expert sort of speak. But that’s a long process.Reply to Elna

I love love your Pinterest & Facebook promo! It’s a great helper, using it I’ve gone from 100 followers to over 500 in about 2 weeks!!!Reply to Jessica

Elna, you are such an inspiration to all of us, you shouldn’t be so hard on yourself! Business isn’t a straight line to the top. I’m sure learning that. My traffic has actually been regressing these past two months and yet my income is increasing?!! It just goes to show that sometimes it’s not about the quantity but about the quality of people coming to your website. And you already have such an engaged and loyal following that you are going to have no problem when you introduce you paid products. Be good to yourself. yYou’re doing AMAZINGLY well. Elise xoxoReply to Elise

Hey Elise! Thanks so much. When I read your income report I was shocked too that you didn’t have much traffic, yet you are making money! That’s awesome. I know it’s not about the numbers, it’s about having targeted traffic. But, it’s hard to see “the light” sometimes! I love your blog girl and your design! Beautiful 🙂Reply to Elna

Thanks so much Jessica! Glad you enjoy my FB and Pinterest promo list. I worked hard on that baby.Reply to Elna

It shows!!Reply to Jessica
