Blog Goals for 2015




Tiffany and Nina recently started this new blogging group, The Blogging Elite. I joined in hoping to get some feedback, info, and overall blog-writing optimism. So far, I haven't been disappointed. The group has already grown so much! This is the first link-up for the year (first link-up ever actually) and I decided to take part.

 I've already said a bit about what I hope to do for 2015 on this post. But if I'm to get cereal about blogging this year I figured I should have some more concrete goals.


1.) Get More Followers - Being a part of The Blogging Elite and the Texas Women Bloggers groups has helped me get some followers across all my social media platforms. I hope that will bring people to my blog and they'll be able to find something they like and stay reading.

2.) Make A Site Map - I've had Google Analytics and Webtools for a while but I've never bothered getting a sitemap done. I tried the other day and it seemed a bit involved so hopefully by the end of the year I'll have one all done up.

3.) Do A Guest Post - This one is already set to be done. I am scheduled to do a guest post on two different blogs and I couldn't be more thrilled!

4.) Post More Recipes - I cooked a lot last year. I mean, a lot. And yet I didn't post many recipes. This year I hope to get my recipe template down and keep everyone up-to-date on the latest and greatest (and sometimes epic fails) that happen in my kitchen.

5.) Get Personal - I have mentioned a few things about my life here but nothing too deep or personal. Yet, some of those posts have the most views. I've always been quiet and shy so even though I have a blog I've had a hard time letting people know too much about me. I don't think I'll ever spill ALL my life onto here but maybe a bit more would be a good thing.

6.) Amazon Associates - I signed up for, and am getting the hang of, Amazon Associates but I still don't know all the tips and tricks. I'm sure one night of looking at it to death will help.


I'm sure there will be other smaller goals that pop up. But for now these are the biggies I want to work on for the year.
