Happy 500 Pageviews

I'm back in the blogging world. I really want to write more posts for the past days but because of school duties, I need to delay the flow of my thoughts. The problem is I cannot fully remember what are my exact thoughts on some issues that have circulated for the whole week. I need to dig deep so that I can excavate the gold in my mind.

All I am doing this week is checking my blog statistics. I really want to see how the trend is going up daily. I am slowly realizing my blogging goals. Even that the figures are still minuet, I consider these as my triumphs.

I am glad to tell to my readers that my blog has reached 500 pageviews. I am now in the halfway going to four- digit blog statistics. I am applying what I have learned from my early blogging experiences. It is not bad to learn from mistakes. This helps me to do better things and not to repeat the same mistakes.

In my next blog, I am going to feature my trip to Manila. I hope that I can post it earlier.

My 10 Blogging Goals

For the past two years of my blogging, procrastination is my biggest enemy. It impedes me to have my progress. I lose my creative juices because of this. I regret of not posting things immediately. So, it affects my dream to be a well- known blogger. That's why, I created this post to remind of my goals. I will use this as a guidepost for me not to digress. Here are the following:

1. Reach 1,000 pageviews a month. I want my blog to have a wide readership. I do not want it to be dormant. There should be readers who will indulge on my articles. I want also my readers to crave for more after reading a post. I want also my readers to share my posts to their friends. I know it is a big goal but I need to impose this in order for my blog to catch attention.

2. Have three- digit pageview per post. As of now, my posts has been receiving one- two digit views. It is normal to have this minuet figures because I am still starting. I want that in the next months, my post will  register three- digit figures. With this target, my articles are getting the attention of readers.

3. Receive at least ten comments per post. As of now, my posts do not receive comments. Comments are good signs that people are affected what a writer created. I want my blog to receive comments either good or bad for me to feel that there are readers that pay attention on what they have read.

4. Reach 10,000 pageviews before the year ends. I want my blog to end the year in a high note. By receiving five- digit figure means a lot for me. It indicates that I have reached a good number of people's readership. It will be my tool to raise a bar for my online home.

5. Create at least two posts per day. One of the things that makes a blog to ring a bell is to have daily posting. I will do my best to write at least two posts per day. I want my readers to get fresh updates. I want them to enjoy my blog day by day. My posts will be lengthy and worth reading. I will also try my best to incorporates commentaries and reviews.

6. Have a blog post with 800- 1000 words. Some bloggers say that in order for a blog to capture more attention, lengthy post should be done. This goal will test my vocabulary, grammar, and mechanics in writing. I should create posts that are long but the thoughts are easily to be discerned and remembered. I want that my readers will not tedium as they peruse my writings. 

7. Have my social media accounts grow. I am using social media sites to reach out audience. I have been receiving views from these online sites. With blogging, I want to grow my followers and readers. I want to know more people and I want them to feel at home on my blog.

8. I want my blog to have self- hosted domain. It is my goal to change the URL of my blog from carlwrites.blogspot.com to carlwrites.com. Having a self- hosted domain site, my blog will be more remembered and distinguished. Hoping that my finances will be okay. I will purchase this year.

9. I want my blog to earn revenue. I found that many people venture on blogging as source of living. Many also chose blogging as their job because of big revenues. I want also to experience that. I want to have a passive income for me to sustain my needs. It will help my finances because my salary is not enough. I want that my blog will have good numbers.

10. I want my blog to be recognized as a noteworthy one. I want my blog to be noticed in the online world. I want it to be identified as a must- read blog. It is nice to seeing a blog being featured in other sites. If there will be recognition, it will be considered as a bonus.

I know that these goals are humongous. But with determination, dedication, and faith, these will be realized. Join me in my journey as a blogger. Happy reading.
