I’m doing this as a part of Bloggiesta but I was going to do it anyways so this is my official 2010 goals page.
First I’d like to reflect on 2009’s goals:
- I want to write more than just book reviews. I want to write more on books, reading and literacy in general. I did a little of this, not as much as I”d like
- I want to get my reviews up shortly after finishing a book instead of having a back log of reviews. Did this well for 2 months and then fell WAY behind.
- I want to decide whether to move my blog to wordpress or not and either way, to find a blog design that works for me. I played around with wordpress and decided to stay with blogger. I succeeded in new blog design finally, (Thanks Lily Blue Designs)
- I want to participate more with StumbleUpon and Technorati and include a link to follow me on twitter from my blog. I’d like to have way for readers to Stumble my posts too. I use Stumbeupon and added twitter link. I’m still not sure about technorati although I have added some blogs and have button on my blog for others to add me. I’m still working on button for others to stumble my blog.
- I’d like to advertise my blog in places other than book places to encourage visitors other than those with book blogs of their own. I haven’t really done this. I use entrecard now and I want to put ads on other sites. I just started this.
- I’d like to add an easy way for readers to subscribe to my blog. Done.
- I’d like to join the amazon associates and get links to buy books through them on my review posts. Done
So clearly I wrote those goals and forgot about some of them.
Blogging Goals for 2010
- Post at least 3 times a week.
- Make Book News a monthly event.
- Create one of those other event ideas I had
- Post reviews within one to two weeks of finishing book.
- Increase followers with follower giveaways if possible.
- Write more non-review posts.
- Get organized with challenges, and not sign up for as much.
Reading Goals for 2010
- Get through review books I have, catch up.
- Limit review books I get
- Read more library books
- Read older books (I don’t want to be a new release only blog)
Thanks to The Book Lady’s Blog for motivation to do this post.
