I haven't done a goals update since August, life, time, the will to blog has all run away with me but I decided as we are almost in 2018 I would do a final update.
I feel like I've hardly blogged this year and that's perfectly fine. I think one of the things I said was I would blog as little or as much as I wanted. This isn't my job, I blog for fun and the fun is lost once you start to force yourself to do something.
I'm averaging around 7 posts a month which isn't terrible. In the beginning, a lot of the posts seemed to be update posts. I think next year I'm going to try and blog more fun things. I'm not sure what these fun things will be but I'm sure I will think of something.
The area I was really trying to focus on was social media growth and while I only met one of my targets my growth was amazing. Numbers are not the be all and end all but it's so nice to see.
Below is the number each channel grew by and the target percentage. These were recorded on 27th December - Official end of the year will be taken on 31st December.
YouTube | 94 | 66% |
Google+ | 40 | 85% |
Bloglovin | 181 | 85% |
652 | 83% | |
170 | 103% | |
IG SW | 591 | 84% |
553 | 95% | |
668 | 99% |
It's now the 31st so these are my official end of year stats.
Next year I think my targets will be more realistic. I've based them on this year's achievements as I can't find all the previous years stats.
