I realize that we are almost halfway through the month of October and I am just now posting my September monthly blogging report. In this report, you will see the latest installment of the ups, downs, expenses and income of a newbie food blogger.
Now, onto the monthly blog stats.
MONTHLY STATS FOR SEPTEMBER:
Number of Posts: 18 (4 new posts a week on average)
Number of Pinterest Followers: 410 (up from 320 in August)
Number of Instagram Followers: 74 (up from 74 in August)
Monthly Pinterest Viewers: 484 681 (up from 289 190 in August)
Monthly Pageviews from Google Analytics: 18 900 (up from 13 800 in August - Best month was July at 15 800)
Monthly New Users from Google Analytics: 11 500 (up from 7900 in August)

Overall, this month was a huge success! With both my Instagram followers and Pinterest followers both going up, my month was the best one yet!
Why do I think that is?
Honestly, I haven't got a clue but I sure will take it!!!

- Expenses – $39 for Blogpros which is a company I use to help promote my posts. I am somewhat frustrated with this company so have decided to leave them in October. It will be interesting to see what changes occur without their help.

October Blogging Goals
Well, since I got rid of my Blogpros account, I am working hard on getting better at Google Search Engine Optimization (SEO) ranking. I am going to see what changes occur focusing on trying to get better hits on Google. Then, at the end of the month, I will be able to determine the effects of leaving Blogpros and working on my SEO had on my blog.
Up and Coming Personal Goals
As you all know, I am always trying to define the term "Optimal Health". Recently, I stumbled upon a book called "The Longevity Paradox" by Dr. Steven Gundry. In his book, Dr. Gundry maps out a new approach to aging well—one that is based on supporting the health of the “oldest” parts of us: the microorganisms that live within our bodies. At the end of the Longevity Paradox book, Dr. Gundry outlines a nutritional and lifestyle plan to support gut health and live well for decades to come.
Are you intrigued?
I certainly am!
So, starting on October 17th, I will be following his protocol for 6 weeks to see what health changes (if any!) occur. Since I suffer from numerous gastrointestinal as well as skin issues (you can read more about things I have tried to help heal my gut here) I am curious to see if I can finally be rid of some of the health issues that have plagued me for years.
I will post recipes as well as updates with regards to my health issues during the next 6 weeks so keep checking back!
PS - I will be posting a synopsis of his book next week so stay tuned!
