Last year, one of my biggest goals for the blog was to get a domain and I did that! Me, him, the dog and a baby! is a serious part of my life now and I have lots of things I want to achieve this year. So, here goes:
Schedule in advance – this is something I used to do all the time. I don’t know what happened. Maybe it was Erin getting more mobile. Just recently though I have been writing the day before a post is due and never actually ahead. I need to sort this out so that I can have a day off if I want to.
Social Media – I really want to spend some time trying to grow my social media accounts this year, Facebook in particular. I think I’m doing okay on Twitter and Instagram but I just don’t get Facebook really. I’m setting my goal for Facebook quite low because in all honesty, I have no idea how to get new likes. This is what I’d like to achieve in terms of followers and where I am now:
Facebook – 269/ 500
Instagram – 960/1300
Twitter – 2117/ 2700
Giveaways – I don’t feel like I hosted nearly enough giveaways last year. I love the excitement of a giveaway and I love entering them so I figured my readers would too! Brands, if you’d like me to host a giveaway please get in touch!!
Interact more often – I am so terrible for forgetting to reply to comments. I think I need to set aside a bit of time every day, or every other day, to catch up on what people have said. I think with so many things posted across different accounts each day I kind of forget to reply to everything.
DA – I’m really happy that my DA is currently 27. I remember being so excited when it hit 20. I’d love to get to 30+ this year.
Tots100 – I am so close to being top 500 so this would be a great achievement this year I think. In fact, I should probably aim for top 400 as I’m only 33 away from top 500.
I’d love to know what your blogging goals are. Also, do you have anything you think I should aim for this year?
Thos are some brilliant goals. I’ve never really “got” Facebook, I follow other peoples advice but I still struggle to grow my following there.
Good luck with your blogging goals – it will feel so good when you hit that top 500!
Bearcats of luck with the goals. I’m going to get to 2000 twitter followers (954 right now) and have 100 views a day on average on the blog.
Some great goals!! I would love to concentrate on interaction! Something so easy and can be fit around day to day things but more often than not I tend to overlook it!
I haven’t been brave enough to join Facebook yet – I don’t really ‘get it’ either! Some great goals, as a newer blogger I love seeing people put figures in to things! Good luck for this year!
These sound like brilliant and realistic goals. You’re doing so well with your stats and I hope one day to have similar goals. As a new blogger, I don’t really have any proper goals apart from continuing to write content and learning as much as possible! Good luck. x
These are great goals, I really want to work on scheduling in advance too. I really struggle with Facebook! I hope that you reach all your goals!
Brilliant goals! I’m not pushing myself too hard this year but I’m enjoying my stats slowly increasing. Good luck with your goals! X
Awesome goals good luck you are doing so well already!
Good luck with your goals, I’m sure you’ll smash them. I find Facebook hard too – it’s less easy to be found there I think, relies a lot on other people sharing from your page or tagging you. One of my goals is to schedule too… I’m a week ahead at the mo but I’m sure it’ll go to pot soon, oops!
They’re great goals, I’m with you on the scheduling and not doing it the night before!
Good luck with your goals for the year ahead. I really want to get into the a bit of scheduling as I never do it, I need to start scheduling social media too as I keep forgetting xx
One of my goals is replying to people across all channels. There is always one I forget. I also think I need to rota in some time for it. These are really great goals xx
I’ve no doubt you’ll smash those goals! I also found it more difficult when B got more mobile and now I’m back at work, it’s harder still. But, I’m determined to be more consistent and to grow my YouTube and Instagram x
Some great goals. Lots of similar ones to mine. I really want to grow my da x
