March 2021 Monthly Blog Review
Did you achieve all your monthly goals for this month? March was not my best month. However, I am looking forward to April.
This monthly blog review will discuss what happened this month and how recent social media changes have affected the blog. March was a slow month. Following my significant return in February, I thought my followers would be more engaged with the blog, but they weren’t.
It’s always important to review your monthly goals, accomplishments, and what you can do next month. This month, I aimed to have content prewritten and scheduled at least a month in advance, make my first workbook sale, and focus on Pinterest for the advertising workbook. This monthly blog review will share what worked and didn’t work this month and what I hope to accomplish in April.

Sales Review
This month I sold nothing. I need to change my marketing tactics and try something new. I will try advertising on Facebook and Instagram to see if that would help. I am also going to incorporate video.

Major Wins
Though I did not make a workbook sale like I wanted, I did trend a few times on Instagram, which greatly boosted my online presence. In addition, I used Instagram reels to share tips and to share fun ways to practice self-love. At first, I was not confident about generating any traffic or increasing my online visibility with Instagram Reels. However, now I’ve realized their benefits and how they’ll help me in the future.
Also, I realized that Instagram was pushing my video content and not my photos, which leads me to believe this will be part of that new rumored algorithm. Therefore, I deleted anyone who was inactive or seemed like a bot. This increased my engagement rate drastically and has helped my Instagram a lot.
I also made many new friends and increased my domain authority by one.

April Blogging Themes
Next month, I plan to focus on Spirituality. Spirituality is one of the most underrated self-care dimensions. I chose this theme because of Easter. With such a spiritual and religious holiday, I wanted to showcase more relevant and timely articles.
My April Goals
- Make at least one sale
- Start planning for my small biz
- Increase domain authority by 2
Were you able to accomplish all your goals this month? Let me know in the comments.
