Here is how I did on last month's goals:
- Finished reading the eBook by Abby from Just a Girl and her Blog, Building a Framework: The Ultimate Blogging Handbook and have been using some of the printables to help organize my blog information and keep track of my monthly stats
- Finished Kirsten's e-course on Google Drive and implemented some of her tips, such as organizing my folders and setting up sheets to keep track of my blog payments
- Joined two more Pinterest group boards and two blogger Facebook Groups
- I got my first PAID post through Social Fabric (I literally did a happy dance!)
- Bought my ticket for Haven Conference in Atlanta...I am super excited to be attending my first blogger conference with one of my besties Melanie (It Happens in a Blink)
What I am working on for next month:
- Finish the post for my collaboration with a paint retailer
- Continue applying for paid posts, especially since I have one under my belt now
- Continue working on gaining new email subscribers
- Continue to work on my Pinterest strategy...I upgraded my Buffer account so I can start scheduling Pins
- Design and order business cards for my blog
I hope you will join me with setting your own goals for 2016! Feel free to link up with me at Sweet Tea, LLC if you are a fellow blogger who needs some encouragement in achieving your goals!
1. What is that green blob?
ReplyDelete2. I'm so jealous of your blogging conference! I wish I had a friend to go to one with and that I was going! That is one of my big goals for blogging! I hope you do a post on it :) I'd love to see how it goes!
3. So happy for your first PAID opportunity! I'm sure many more to come!!
HAHAHAHA! Ashley, the green blob is a glass 4-leaf clover paper weight. I will definitely do a post on it and if there is ever a conference halfway between us, we should go to it!! I wish you were closer to me! Thanks so much for all your support and encouragement every day!!!

DeleteGreat idea for blogging communities with the purpose of encouraging each other and keeping each other accountable.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your goals. They certainly define being intentional with blogging, but in a manageable way.
I am amazed by how supportive the blogging community is, and I am encouraged to keep going even when I am overwhelmed.
DeleteYour goal setting is goals :P I suck at stuff like this x
ReplyDeleteYou just need to start small and set a couple of goals, then you can go bigger!
DeleteCheck you out, Mary! You are thriving in the blogging world! I love the Building Framework - it's my blogging bible. How amazing is Kirsten? She is a wealth of knowledge. I am so thankful to her and Abby for sharing their tips and tricks with us. It's great to be a part of an awesome blogging community, and it's how we 'met'. All the best for the month of May! Look forward to seeing your business cards.
ReplyDeleteThank you Charlene! The blogging community is great and I have learned so much from all the other bloggers out there. Thanks so much for your encouragement!
