I started this site this month for the purpose of sharing gardening information and curating the very best supplies and tools to help tend a rich garden.

For my own benefit and yours, I’ll share my progres towards monetizing this site (business?). It’ll both hold me accountable to its success and provide transparency in how I’m running the site.

Google analytics dashboard

With no prior data to compare to, here’s what month one looks like.

Semrush dashboard

I’m ranking (as high as position 33) for a number of keywords already, but not high enough to get any real traffic yet. Positions are increasing though and I’m focused on the easier wins.

Ads

I did spend $11 to boost a Facebook post linking to an article. It’s still running so I’ll report on how that works out next month.
