Do you keep Monthly Goals for your blog?
Why or Why not?
Should You?
Well, that’s exactly what we are going to talk today – the importance of keeping monthly goals for your blog. Along with that, we will also be discussing about some of guest blogging contests that I am participating in.
My Inspiration for this post: To be honest, I was going to write a monthly report but then I realized that it wouldn’t be much useful for you guys – after all, I have to keep the post “informative”, right?
Here are the guest articles that I have written for two different contest. Help me out my commenting and promoting these articles. Thanks!
Guest Blog: Where Do You Guest Blog and Why?
This article talks about my experience with guest blog – where I guest blog (and why I do it there). It talks about guest blogging at active communities and getting the most results out of your guest post.
Are you Passionate About Blogging? Don’t Be
The title explains it all. If you were a regular reader of my blog, then you would know that I always advocated for being passionate about blogging. Not any more. Check out the article to find out why.
Keeping Monthly Goals For Your Blog?
To be honest, I never kept monthly goals until I started this blog (even though I had written about keeping monthly/daily goals). And I do regret that mistake.
I started this blog 3 months ago (in Late November), but didn’t start blogging till January – because I was busy with setting up everything.
I didn’t have any plans for setting up monthly goals until recently – about 2 weeks ago.
My first monthly goals were (which I accomplished):
- Write at least One Post Per Weekday
- Get 100+ comments
- Get Back with Guest Blogging – Write at least 3 guest posts per week
- Comment on blogs
From my experience, here is what I have got to tell you:
Having Monthly goals helps us to be
- Focused: Yes, having these small time goals got me really productive and focused on just blogging.
- Better Results: I would have not achieved this much – within a month – if I didn’t have these goals.
- Exposure, Back links and All benefits of blogging – Goals help you to be more productive (for some people, it might work a little different).
- Stronger Motivation and Confidence = Self Esteem with blogging – You know, once I achieved these goals, my motivation and confidence got stronger, which means a higher self esteem. It also helped me with my studies. For instance: This has also helped me to perform better in class presentations and tests.
My Goals For This Month:
I am publishing these goals because then I will be committed to it (since I already told it to you guys).
- Get 100 unique visitors per day.
- More commenting and networking.
- Think about a product for this blog.
- Do a little more work on my newsletter list.
- Get an average of 20 comments per blog post.
If you are planning to keep monthly goals, then here are my tips for you:
- Keep it simple.
- Keep it targeted.
- Commit to achieve your goals.
- Nothing is impossible, Aim for the moon and strive for the sun
