POST...KIND OF

May 2, 2014

Today there is no actual "post", but I did want to share some things today.

1. I plan to take today (and really the weekend) to gather inspiration and create quality content. Posts have been rolling out like toilet paper the last few days, but I feel like its time to really hone in on what my voice is and what I want to share on this little space of the internet. I have been pinning some helpful things that may help spark some new content in a fresh, new way.

2. I am working on setting some monthly blogging goals. Now, I don't want to get too hung up on numbers, i.e. followers, views, likes, and re-tweets, but it is important that my blog attract readers. I want to create content that is inspiring, thoughtful, meaningful, moving, hilarious - not all at once. Although, that would be awesome! This means I will be more focused on sponsorships, exposure, and forming relationships with you. I know I won't have it all figured out in one day, but I am open to suggestions if you have any.

3. This blog is important to me. Its a place for me to share things about my life. I have thoughts and I have opinions, but I also want to inspire and bring people back here daily.

4. This may mean I post more or less often. Let's be real. Not every blog post is 100% perfect or life shattering. I typically blog when I have something to say. If what I want to say coincides with the above mentioned then its a go. If not, then its a no. Cool?

Thank you guys for reading. For taking this blogging thing and running with it. My heart appreciates you.

  1. I'm also working on similar things - figuring out a blogging schedule, what that means in terms of how often I post & what exactly I consistently post about! I have also been looking at sponsorships & growing my community! Hope you have a refreshing weekend & come back with lots of ideas!

  2. I'm working on all of that too, especially 'finding my voice' and trying to figure out what exactly to post - quality over quantity, but with enough regularity to attract new readers and sponsors. Good luck :)

  3. Sometimes it's good to take a couple of days to figure things out and gather inspiration. :)

  5. I don't think posting less is bad at all! You should look back at your old posts and see if they fall into certain categories, then you should stick to what you love writing about!

  6. I've been blogging for about 3 years and I've noticed when I get in a rut I just need to take a step back, and that's ok to do that. Or so I've learned :) Love this blogging community and excited to read more from you!

  7. I'd rather read good posts less often, instead of pointless posts often! (Not saying your posts are pointless, just in general!).... Looking forward to following along!

  8. Love that you're setting goals but not being ridiculous about them! Goals are always good!
