Wow, this year is moving right along. It’s already February 1st, but at the same time it feels like I just experienced the longest January ever! My kids have three weeks off school for Winter break. This year, it was extended by a few days thanks to a ridiculous amount of snow we received in the Sierra Nevada. And, there’s more to come. I also attended Affiliate Summit again this year in Las Vegas. I highly recommend it if you are a blogger. Needless to say, it’s been a busy, yet productive month. So let’s get right to my January 2017 traffic report. 
You may recall I had some issues in November with spam. I implemented some filters in December to prevent this spam, but it affected my numbers. You can read about that here. I’m thrilled that my numbers for my January 2017 traffic report are up.

Social Media Recap and Goals For February
I believe my numbers were up because I made a big push on social media. I took one of my more popular youtube videos and created a post around it. It got picked up in a Flipboard share. That was huge! I also wrote a number posts that mentioned more popular and successful bloggers, who then shared the posts with their followers. I cannot express how appreciative I am. For February, my goal is to build on these gains.
- Twitter – December 641 followers – January 778 followers – February Goal – 820
- Facebook – December 80 likes – January 81 likes – February – I’m going to make a push for 100
- YouTube – December 24 subscribers – January 31 subscribers – February Goal 40 subscribers
- Pinterest – December 73 followers – January 84 followers – February goal 95 followers
- Instagram – December 100 followers – January 135 followers – February goal 150 followers
