Tim Niets
Tim Niets is my blog. I create short programming tutorials.
What are my goals for the first month?
I didn't set too high goals for the first month of Tim Niets because I wanted goals that was achieveable. I don't have any marketing budget and I also didn't plan on doing any particular types of marketing either. A few posts on Indie Hackers, a little bit of Reddit and Twitter was all I was going to do.
I was hoping to get 30 visitors to my blog from twitter, reddit, etc and 3 organic visitors. I also set goal for number of followers on twitter, subscribers to my newsletter and so on.
Mid month results
Up until now, I've had 99 visitors and a total of 201 pageviews. One of the visitors has come from Google. So I guess that I can be satisfied with reaching the visitors goals and much more. I just hope that I can get two more organic visitors to that goal will be reached too.
I didn't know what to expect when it came to followers on Twitter, but right now, I have 176 followers and that is a lot more than I expected. When it comes to my newsletter, I have zero subscribers. But what can I expect after such short time?
For the last week and a little bit more theres been at least a couple of times every day that my blog has shown up in someones search results. The goal is to keep increasing this number each week and hopefully people will start clicking it.
Today was a huge milestone for me. It's been a while since I bought the domain and started creating content.
I wanted to have enough content ready to be published before I actually started to publish my content, so that I wouldn't feel pressure every day to create new content.
So I decived that March 1st was a great day to start posting :-)
Before I launch my blog I have decided that I wanted to create a twitter account. I have followed some interesting people and tweeted a little bit. Today when I signed in, I had 66 followers.
It's really great to have at least a very small audience to talk to when I publish the first posts on my blog.
The blog has been uploaded and I've added a couple of posts to tell what the blog is going to be about and how you can come with suggestions on how to make it better. I think it's nice to be able to add the url here, on twitter and other similar sites.
The main content will not be published until the 1st of March.
Wanted to buy the domain for my blog so everything is ready. The domain is timniets.com and I really look forwad to start posting content.
I already have a lot of my content ready, but I'll wait until March 1st before I start posting. This way I will have a "fresh" start at the beginning of a month.
Not really easy to wait :p
