February Review & March Goals

February was a little slower than January, but I have a good feeling about my March goals. I have been doing little bits here and there to hopefully improve my blog a little. All these bits should help to grow my blog to where I would like it to be.
Although February was slow, I think my figures were not too bad. I have just gone over 1500 twitter followers and I am at 399 on Instagram. I am getting there and will be working on this in March.
My blog views are slightly up on last month which is good. I have joined Aby Moore from You Baby Me Mummy’s #MumBossSquad and Hayley from Sparkles and Stretchmarks how to make money from your blog course.
The tips and ideas are really helping to make improvements on my blog. They have helped me to be more confident in what I am doing. I would definitely recommend joining these.
Hitting my February goals was a bit hit-and-miss this month, but I don’t think I did too badly.
Apply to Brands for posts/reviews
I was aiming to apply to at least 5 a week, but It was probably more like 2 a week. As I have been doing Hayley’s course I have been concentrating on getting my blog up to scratch.
I feel this is going to serve me better in the long run. I am talking to one brand at the moment about doing a review and giveaway.
It is nothing too big, but I am looking forward to doing it.
Use Pinterest More
This was a bit of a fail.
I started off at the beginning of the month trying to put into practice all of the tips and tricks I had read. But, then I got completely distracted by Instagram, So, I have been building Instagram instead.
Posting more and interacting more with the people I follow has seen a rise in my followers. How can I not be happy with this.
Write 3 blog posts a week
I managed this 2 weeks out of 4, considering one of them was half term I was surprised how well I did with this.
I really need to be writing 3 posts a week if I want to get to where I want to be.
And here are my goals for March
Grow Instragam more
I did well with this last month, so I have decided to keep going with this month.
I love Instagram, it is a great platform and I think it’s growth will be great for the blog.
Write 3 posts a week
I have kept this goal in as it is something I feel that I need to be doing. Hopefully I will achieve this this month.
Get the blog “brand” ready
Using everything I have learned from the course I am doing and Aby’s Facebook group I want to implement a few changes to make my blog look nicer for brands that I want to work with. I want brands to WANT to work with me and this is an important step in getting there.
My goals for March are great and I don’t think I am taking on too much with small goals like these. This in turn gives me more time to write.
What are your goals for the month?
Take care everyone.

Oh wow you sound so organised. I am kinda just winging all I do! I set out with good intentions last year but only found out about blogging groups in September and those have helped immensely. I think the key to it all is having support and a good network to chat with. Good luck with it xx #familyfun

I think it’s great to have goals with a purpose in mind! My goal just feels like survival right now so not really set any specific goals. The thing with cracking Instagram and Pinterest is that you’ve really got to use them and enjoy it. Doing both at the same time is time consuming. Focus on Insta for now and keep up the good work!! Thank you for linking up to the #familyfunlinky

Oh well done on your February goals. I definitely need to use Pinterest more, but amongst Insta, Facebook, Twitter and the blog in general I don’t seem to be able to make time for it. That and I don’t completely understand it! Anywho good luck for March and thanks for joining us at #familyfun
