Kasheringyourlife’s Training week 1

Kasheringyourlife is undergoing training! I am learning how to improve my blog for a better experience both for you and for me.  I have been participating in a 30 business blog challenge. http://www.sarkemedia.com/30dayblog

Today I have been tasked with recapping my first week of training. I have definitely noticed an improvement and I hope you all have too.

My first post was about decluttering your mail and sorting it. The blog received its normal response. http://kasheringyourlife.co.za/index.php/2016/02/08/its-in-the-mail/

Do you still get post?
200+ reach

The next one was on the 12th with a blog post about Valentine’s Day. This too received the normal number of views. http://kasheringyourlife.co.za/index.php/2016/02/12/the-legend-of-valentines-day/

During this time I had started working on the steps that had been given to me in order to improve the reach of the blog.

My 3rd post was on Sunday and it was about a visit to a coffee shop, whose coffee I really enjoy drinking. It was not a review as much as the reason why I choose to go there. This got 4 times the viewership than I normally get! http://kasheringyourlife.co.za/index.php/2016/02/14/jozi-blue-the-coffee-experience/

Jozi Blue for great coffee- over 1000 reached

My next post was about getting rid of the junk and clutter in your computer’s email box. Monday posts are usually for my decluttering group, so they get a limited response at present but are growing as the membership of the FB group increases. http://kasheringyourlife.co.za/index.php/2016/02/15/email-boxes-and-unsubscribing/

On Tuesday I posted about the benefits of garlic. This post saw double the usual response! http://kasheringyourlife.co.za/index.php/2016/02/16/the-amazing-garlic/

In the meanwhile, I am working on the assignments that I am sent every morning, and doing my actual work for my actual boss, who is paying me. So, I am not getting a lot of sleep at present.

I skipped posting on Wednesday as I felt, both you, my readers and me, the writer, and my mom, the editor, could do with a rest!

Thursday I posted about saving money and used some of the tips I have learned so far. The post reached double the number of FB views. http://kasheringyourlife.co.za/index.php/2016/02/17/10-tips-help-save-when-shopping/

Behind the scenes, my actual website is getting more visitors and views. I am also getting ready for the first workshop of the year; I have ordered my first branded merchandise, which will be on sale from the 1st March.

There is much more to learn and posting almost every day for 30 days is going to be a challenge all on its own!

I am working on improving all aspects of my online presence, including Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest and hope to eventually I move on to Twitter as well!

Quite proud of myself, FB, Instagram, Tumblir, ?,Linkedin, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest and YouTube, 8/9 not bad for knowing my social media?

Remember, the blog is about Housekeeping, Meal and Menu Planning and Money Saving Tips. I am happy to do book reviews of books covering these topics, reviews of kosher establishments or vacation places, and sales specials of food and home related places. If you have suggestions of things you would like to see, that are in keeping with the blog, please send me a message.
