It’s time for our Wednesday Share Thread! Here’s what to do:
1 - Share a win! This is about celebrating ourselves and each other. Share something you accomplished over the last week, either personal or blogging-related.
2 - Share a resource! Is there something you discovered recently that you found helpful? Maybe an article, a webinar, a course, or someone to follow on social media. It could be anything!
I’ll put mine in below, and I encourage others to jump in as well!
My win is that I’ve been working on consistency within my business - with posts, Pinterest, FB, email - just everything. And I’m happy to say I’ve been really consistent the last couple of months!
The resource I’m sharing is a blogging income survey done by Eb Gargano. This is the second year she’s asked bloggers to participate and it has some interesting results. She sums them up here if you’re curious: How much do bloggers REALLY earn in 2023? (Statistics from the Blogging Income Survey 2023) - Productive Blogging
Win: I took all of last week off and hardly touched my computer at all (minus sorting through emails and creating a few IG reels). This is HUGE for me.
Resource: I’m doing another round of time logging, so my resource is the Toggl app. It is amazing if you want to log work time or just to get a handle on where exactly you are spending your time.
Win: I’ve been working on Pinterest - consistency in pinning daily, at least one idea pin a week, etc. My traffic and impressions are growing consistently. Very pleased with that, but my follower number is still really low. Soooooo…
Resource: Heard about a widget called MiloTree (Megan was recently on the creator’s podcast!) that pops up a “join my Pinterest page” widget on your site when someone visits for the first time. Installed it maybe 3 weeks ago and I’m seeing slow but steady growth in followers. There’s a free trial and then $9 / mo. For me, it’s been worth it, so plan to keep it after the trial.
I don’t really have a new resource to share this week as I haven’t been look at anything beyond what’s in front of me this week.
But I still wanted to add my win. I had by far my most downloaded episode of my podcast last week. Thanks to @amykatz who made a cameo appearance on an episode and then shared it with her email subscribers. It was my most downloaded episode of all time in just a couple days after it was published.
If the traffic is growing, I think that’s what matters the most. Great to hear.
My win for this week was that I had a coaching call with Aleka/ Cooking with Keywords . That was so informative and an eye opener for SEO. and also sent a pitch to a brand- and sent follow ups to the pitches I hadn’t heard back. (This is a big deal for me because these are the first pitches I’ve ever sent)
My resource to share is that I have been reading a book from Jen Sincero called You are a badass at making money . From reading this so far, it helps me understand I need to some work on my mindset around money .
Amazing! Veggies really DO save the day!
Love that book @Kristina it is so inspiring. And yay for following through on those pitches!
Also @eatlikenooneelse - that is so great about your most downloaded episode!
