My Goals for this Blog
A blog can be whatever you want it to be. It can be a place where you write down your thoughts and feelings, a place to share your work, and of course, a place to make money. When I started this blog I was a bit unsure of the direction that I was going in. Sure, I had some goals, but as you probably know, things never stay the same for long.
Although these are bound to change sometime in the future, here are three goals that I would like to accomplish as this blog moves forward.
1. My number one goal is to supply my readers with content and resources that are going to help them succeed as a blogger, freelance writer, or internet entrepreneur. All in all, if my readers are not happy, I am not doing my job. To go along with this, increasing the amount of comments that I receive is also a long term goal of mine.
2. As you may have heard in the past, many feel that a blog is not worth monetizing until traffic reaches a high, sustainable level. Of course, it is up to you to determine what constitutes high and sustainable. For me, my goal is to increase traffic month after month. If I can continue to move in the right direction, I will then begin to look for ways to begin the monetization phase.
3. Although money is not my primary goal, as mentioned above, an income from this blog is something that I would like to achieve sooner or later. Instead of setting a lofty goal, such as $3,000 per month, I am going to start on a smaller scale. Once traffic is at a solid level, I am going to attempt to reach the goal of earning $100/month. This is far from being a large goal, but in my opinion, it is always better to start with small goals and then work from there.
Overall, I guess you could say that these are my three primary goals for this blog. They will undoubtedly change from time to time, but hopefully they will help me to continue to move in a positive direction.
What goals do you have for your blog? Are they similar to mine?
