What's new?


This month was huge! I was FINALLY accepted into Google Adsense, AND I hit over 1,000 monthly visitors for the first time!

I just placed ads on my website a few days ago, meaning I've only made a few cents from them, but I'm just so glad to have been accepted into the program. A milestone for sure! 

Otherwise, I didn't do a ton with The Barbell Way this month. I finished the semester, went home for the holidays, and I've been using some of my free time to update old posts and to work on Pinterest scheduling.

Summary of what I did in December


I ended up writing two blog posts this month. I also scheduled some new pins to Pinterest. 

Another thing I worked on was my website as a whole. I did some updating to the home page and printables page. 

What I plan to do next month


I'm excited for January because I plan on getting back on track with regular blog posting!

For a few months I wrote every morning from 6-8am, and I want to do that again starting the first week of January. With that said, hopefully I can publish two posts a week.

 Goals for January

  • Publish 8 posts 
  • Get to 200 email subscribers
  • Reach 1,500 monthly visitors

Goals for 2023

  • Hit 15,000 total visitors
  • Reach 750 email subscribers
  • Find and implement three more ways of monetization
