5 Blog Goals For 2016

It’s that time of year again… everyone is making goals for the new year and I’m over here like…

In an effort to get myself on track and in a good place for the new year (I’ve got a new planner to bust out, people!) I went ahead and made some goals for myself in terms of blogging.

2015 was an amazing year for me in terms of growing this blog, establishing a community and meeting new friends. Yes, fake make believe internet friends. I have loved getting to know many of you that read and hope to do more of that in 2016!

Without further ado, my blogging goals for 2016 are:

1. To grow a larger Pinterest following. I always thought..pish posh, Pinterest is for moms who need ideas to occupy their kids in that annoying space between school and dinner. SO, SO WRONG. And stupid, really. I should have been utilizing this great tool for my blog long before I did. Let’s be Pinterest friends HERE. 

2. To integrate more style posts. I have loved sharing a small snippet of some of my favorite style looks and can’t wait to bring more of that to the table in the new year.

3. Grow a larger community and meet more people. I’ve become part of several blogging communities that have been great for meeting new faces, but I always want to meet more! 

4. Selfishly, I want to grow my income from this blog. I know sponsored posts get a little bit tiring for my readers, but I try to be as picky as possible when it comes to opportunities and pick content that will be relevant for everyone. The amount of times I’ve been pitched for non-relevant material far outweighs the sponsored content you see on here. I try to be as transparent as possible when it comes to what is sponsored and what isn’t and I appreciate everyone who keeps coming back for more 🙂

5. Creating a content calendar. Right now, I use the Notepad app on my iPhone when I get a blog post idea, but I really wish I was better about planning my content at the beginning of the month. This would help with joining link-ups, networking with more people and would hopefully harness my organization.

What are your blogging goals for 2016? What changes would you like to see around here?
