I can’t believe we’re on Day 31. It’s really bittersweet because I’ve enjoyed this entire process (minus the lack of sleep), but I’m really excited to start putting all of these wonderful ideas into action long term. I feel transformed, and my blog will continue to transform as well.
Thank you all so much for taking the time out of your busy summer schedules to take this challenge. I would’ve stopped at “Elevator Pitch” if it wasn’t for all of you wonderfully supportive and talented ladies (and gent!). It’s really been a pleasure and an experience I will always remember. If you see me out and about on forums and Twitter, please say “hi”! I’d love to get to know everyone better.
A VERY special thank you to Problogger (Darren), the SITS Girls (Francesca, Tiffany, Heather, and Kathy), the Blog Frog (Holly and Lori), and the community leads (Jen, Lynda, and Rachael). You’ve all been the most kindest, helpful, and inspiring people throughout this. If you ever need anything that you feel I can help with, just say the word.
Now get out there and follow your blogging bliss all!

Key Concepts
-
Successful bloggers often set aside time to think strategically about their blogs every now and again
-
Figure out the things you feel are most important in blogging and develop a plan for next month by specifying tasks you want to achieve each day
Sample Plan
-
Six posts a week (Sundays are a day off from posting)
-
Each post day having its own type of post
-
Time on Sundays for determining the specifics of each post (topics, titles etc.)
-
An administration task each Monday
-
Promotional activities on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays
-
A day for readers (Fridays) for emailing, answering questions etc.)
-
Stats analysis on the last day of the month
-
Brainstorming on the first day of the month
-
You still have to keep up with daily tasks like comment moderation
-
Don’t bite of more than you can chew, or you may get blogger burnout
-
BIG recommendation: Look back over the last 31 days of tasks and identify which ones you might want to perform regularly on your blog.
