This month went fast, and honestly, I’m super excited that November is here! I am super excited to share my October income report and November goals with you because I am impressed with my overall achievements.
During the month of October, I have to say that it started bad on a personal level. This year has been really rough, and starting this month on a bad note was more than I could handle. My 5 year old was very sick and out of school for about a week. This is the first time in his life he has been this sick. My 2 year old caught what he had, but not as bad.
This, and other news, prevented me from doing what I planned to do this month and kept me pretty busy. Overall, the month turned out to be another life changing one for us; I will share this news with you all later this month.
October Personal Goals
Personal goals
As far as personal goals, even as small as I kept them, trying to keep up with sick kids and mommy prevented me from completing them. We also changed course and decided to start a major project in our home, which we thought was only going to take us a few days. As I type this post, we are still working on this project.
- Get rid of clothing we don’t need – I started this project and never finished it.
- Start doing some fall crafts with the entire family – The fall crafts I had in mind turned into painting the interior of our house. The kids weren’t up to doing anything but rest.
Blog goals
- Continue to promote the blog – I think this is working for me.
- Revisit old posts – I did a few of them, but didn’t finish them all.
- Publish my eBook – Still sitting there.
As you can see, I didn’t get much of what I had planned accomplished and I am OK with that. I will get them done when things settle in our home.

As you can see, this month my blog did amazing and better than it has done this entire year. Every month I continue to work hard and wait patiently to start earning me money. I have been watching some good blogging related Periscopes and reading some motivating posts to keep me going.
During the month of October, I was able to read an advanced copy of Money Making Mom by Crystal Paine, and though I am still working on this post and reviewing, I will say it was what I needed this month to keep me motivated and on tract.
November Personal Goals
I don’t know if I am able to stick to a goal this month since this month is looking like an extremely busy one. This means both personal and work wise. As my blog continues to grow, so does the paying opportunities and I am so happy about this.
- Get rid of clothing we don’t need – I have to get this done and get our winter clothes ready.
- Start doing some fall crafts with the entire family – After we finish our painting project, we will start doing crafts for Thanksgiving.
Blog goals
- Continue to promote the blog – As you can see, it is working.
- Revisit old posts – Finish doing this project.
- Publish my eBook – I am aiming for the end of November.
There you have my October income report and my goals for November. How was your October?
Great job Joyce! Great growth on the page views and income this month. I can’t wait to see what next month brings you, maybe 100k pv!
Thank you Kristina! I’m hoping to reach 100K even though I never expected it my yearly goal was 50K.
Good job keep going, I am trying to promote too.
Thank you Gail! Let me know how promoting is going for you. I’m still so sure about Pinterest since it hasn’t worked for me. 🙁
Congrats! I need to get serious about trying to generate income from my blog. It’s been up for over a year but I’m hovering about the 1K mark for month for my page views. I put google adsense up on my blog but the test ad is still sitting there.
Thanks Sarah! I was seemed to be stuck around 23K to 28K for a while and last month it just doubled. I focus on writing at least 3 post a week and promoting. Don’t give up!
