Just a quick question for all of you amazing bloggers out there. Do you set goals/targets for your blog?
1. How many posts
2. Followers/comments
3. Topics for the month
4. Books to read.
As I can honestly say I don’t 🤣 I do schedule my posts. I’ve been thinking about this lately and was wondering if anyone else does set targets for their own blog.
Nope! If I set a goal for followers or comments I would probably fail and then feel bad (unless I set it really low like gain 1 of each.lol) and nope, too much hassle for me and my shoddy form of blogging. 😉

That’s what is putting me off doing it. If I don’t reach my goals. I’ve never set goals for my blog as I enjoy blogging. I don’t want to force myself to blog so I meet a certain target.

I don’t know if I ever will. I think it will put unessacary pressure on me that’s not needed 😁

I have goals in mind but I don’t actively set them as tasks!

By replying, it means I’m sorting myself under the ‘amazing bloggers’ label… 😛 Kidding!
Anyway, I don’t keep targets other than writing my weekly Tea Tuesday posts and reading 5-7 books(mostly making sure I finish all my ARCs on time).

Definitely an amazing blogger 😁 that’s what I’ve started doing now, making sure I’ve read ARCs on time.

I don’t set any goals for the same reasons that Drew @ The Tattooed Book Geek mentioned. But I have been thinking of maybe trying to plan my posts, TBR reads etc a bit more. I’ve only had my blog for 1 month so for now I’ve just been winging it, but I’d like to try theme days eventually, and maybe even time my reads to match it 😀

Don’t worry I’m still winging it 😂 I do schedule my posts now. Theme days sound good, you should definitely try it.

I set goals for the number of posts and the topic of those posts, but they’re loose goals, especially for topic.

A few months ago I did a Blogging University course that involved setting out goals, but I forgot them in a week. My one general goal, though, is to post something at least sort of interesting 5 days a week. Having specific goals makes me paranoid and keeps me from sleeping.

That’s my thinking aswell. I don’t want to stress out about not achieving my goals. I’m just going with the flow with my blog and it seems to be working.

I’ve started to set goals recently to be more consistent in my postings. But if life gets in the way, I try not to beat myself up about it.
