2017 Goals Check in - 2 Weeks Later
Wednesday, January 18, 2017
Blog
·
Consistency – This hasn’t really
happened yet. I’ve only been blogging once or twice a week and I’ve not found
what works for me re-post days yet.
- Plan of action: Get some posts
scheduled and pick the days for posting
·
Engagement &Readership – This I’ve done. I’ve got better scheduling posts and I’m joining in
comment hops etc to promote my blog. I’ve been getting comments and I’ve been replying
to comments.
- Plan of action: carry on
YouTube
·
Replying to Comments – So far, I’m up to
date. I’ve been trying to reply within 48 hours and I’m using my tram journeys
to do some social media admin type work.
·
Build my audience – I’ve almost
hit my January targets for followers which is amazing. I now need to make sure
these people are watching and like what I put out
- Plan of action: Look at YT
analytics to see what people like and engage with.
·
Reduction in posting – I had decided
to only post twice a week but I’ve had enough videos to put three up a week so
far and will have for all of January.
- Plan of action: Aim for 2 a week
but 1 or 3 is fine
Social Media
·
· Growth – I have set
targets for the end of 2017. I did this by looking at my average growth for the
past two years, then in most cases round up to the next nearest 50 or 100. I then
got all geeky and broke down work out the numbers I need to grow by on each
platform by months to meet the targets and I’m splitting it down further to
weekly targets. On everything apart from YouTube I’ve already (as of 15th
January 2017,) exceeded my target for January. So as long as I don’t lose too
many followers I can concentrate on some of the other areas such as joining in
Twitter chats.
- Plan of action: carry on as I have
been doing.
·
·
· Google Plus – I have been using
G+. I have been +1’ing posts. Sharing my posts in communities. Trying to leave
comments on there. I have also been sharing scheduled messages to it.
- Plan of action: Look up some G+ etiquette
guide lines.
·
· Interaction – I do feel like I’ve
had a pretty good week for interacting. I haven’t taken part in twitter chats
but I have been responding to comments and commenting back so I’m happy.
- Plan of action – Join in some
twitter chats
Life
·
· See my friends more – I haven’t seen
anyone yet, but I’ve got a weekend away booked in March & plans to go to a
wedding with another friend and a tentative date booked in for January payday
- Plan of action: Firm up a date
for meeting up.
·
· Go back to the gym
– Nope,
nada nothing to see here.
- Plan of action: Go to the bloody
Gym!
·
· New Job – No even
looked yet
- Plan of action: Google Jobs
Manchester.
·
· Read more – I’ve read a book
so far it was from Net Gally
·
· Start a 2nd blog- I had already
done this and I’ve done 2 posts so far.
- Plan of action: Write some more posts.

I've made some goals this year too but I don't think im achieving much. Lovely to see you are on your way to achieve your goals
ReplyDeleteThank you, good luck with your aims. It's only January, plenty of time to go. Small steps. I've only really focused on one area in January. I've been making February plans which I'll post next week but taking it a month at a time xx
DeleteI think you have made some great progress in your goals, and I like how you have broken them down into different categories for both your life and your blog including sub categories for your blog.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with achieving your goals - some of mine I'm doing well on but others I'm failing at! x
ReplyDeleteI love these posts, good luck with your goals, I need to get involved in twitter chats x
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all of your 2017 goals! It can be tough to keep up with it all, but I love the way you organised it all. x
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great with your goals. Growing my social media following is one of my goals too.
ReplyDeleteI love this because it is somehow celebrating the mini successes you already have this year. Consistency sure is the toughest sometimes but ones you relax, unwind your mind, and start organized and refresh, you'll get the hang of it :)

It is nice to get consistency but think it's hard - things come up. I envy bloggers who choose set days. I'm still trying to make sure i blog once or twice a week - so far i've done that but struggle to have set days like many bloggers x
ReplyDeleteYou've done quite a lot within 2 weeks, don't push yourself too much though, it still needs to be fun x
ReplyDeleteWow these are fabulous goals and it looks like you are well on the way to hitting them. I definitely need to do more on google+ and learn the etiquette too x
ReplyDeleteConsistiency can definitely be a difficult goal to maintain but once you get the hang of it you will smash your goals. Good luck xx
ReplyDeleteGood on you for all youve achieved so far. Its hard to juggle every goal but you've definitely made some great progress xxx
ReplyDeleteSo great that you've almost reached your January targets! Seems like you're doing really well on that front :)
ReplyDeleteLoads of great goals there. You are doing better than me at answering comments I sometimes take ages to answer mine.
ReplyDeleteGood you are keeping an eye on your goals. Good luck with them.
ReplyDeleteI love reading all your comments, so make sure you leave me one x
