Set Great Blogging Goals for 2014 (And Share Them Here)

Posted: 19 Dec 2013 05:51 AM PST

With 2014 just around the corner, it's a good time to think about your blogging goals for the coming year.

If you're like me, you probably have a fair few blogging dreams (perhaps prominently featuring fame and fortune),but those aren't necessarily goals.

My challenge for you today is this: sit down for 10 minutes with a blank page of your notebook (or a blank document) and write down one to three goals for your blog or business in 2014.

What Goals are Right for You?

I've spent a fair bit of time in the personal development / entrepreneurial corners of the blogosphere, and there's a lot of talk there about setting "audacious" goals – big, challenging goals that are a real stretch.

Those sorts of goals can certainly be powerful and inspiring, but they're not necessarily right for every blogger.

Perhaps you work long hours at your day job, or you have young kids or elderly parents to take care of. Maybe you've got a long-term health problem that means you quickly run out of energy, or a major hobby that takes up a lot of time.

Whatever the reason, you might only have a couple of hours to spend on your blog each week – and some goals just won't be realistic for you.

The best goals are an achievable challenge.

It's fine to set small goals – perhaps in 2014, you just want to get your blog up and running and make your first $100. (And I hope DailyBlogTips will help you along the way. :-) )

Here Are My Goals for 2014

I thought I should practice what I preach and set a few goals of my own:

Goal #1: Get my writing blog Aliventures onto the "Top 10 Blogs for Writers" list in 2014. (This is a big goal with a bunch of sub-steps, like posting more regularly on that blog, and focusing on pillar content.) I'm a bit daunted by this one!

Goal #2: Create two new courses for DailyBlogTips and run each of them at least once (probably more like two – three times). These will follow on from Get Blogging – one will be an intermediate course, and the other a more advanced course.

Goal #3: Set up and run Facebook and Twitter accounts for DailyBlogTips, to give readers a new way to connect with us. Watch out for an announcement on these in early 2014!

How About You?

What are your goals? Writing them down and committing to them will make it much more likely that you'll achieve them.

Leave a comment below (or write a post on your blog and link to it) letting us know about your blogging or business goals for 2014. Be as specific as you can – e.g. not "make money blogging" but "make my first $100" or "launch an ebook."

Good luck!
