Hello! I hope you all had a great Holiday! I have enjoyed time at my in-laws. All 14 grandchildren were together so my little guys has gotten plenty of cousin time! It’s pretty different that just the 3 of us.
A lot of my peers posted New Years related posts before Christmas, but I decided to hold off on talking about 2015. Christmas is already chaotic and busy without trying to plan the next year! Now that it is over though, it’s time to start thinking about what you want for your blog in 2015!
Setting blog goals will help you stay focused on the direction you want your blog to go and the purpose of your blog.
I’ve created a handy 2015 blog goal sheet for you. As the old saying goes,
There are 2 main categories on this goal sheet: traffic and income. Write your goals in the left column, your plan to accomplish the goal in the right column, and then keep track of your progress by recording your numbers in the month boxes. I’ve also included a section at the bottom for additional goals. If making money is one of your goals for the year, you’ll also want to check out these posts: Top 5 ways bloggers make money and Bloggers make money selling ads on their blogs
I made the printable using the Pantone 2015 color of the year, Marsala.

This is so awesome! It came just in time for me to schedule out my goals. My focus this year is to increase my social media followers, improve some posts and increase my traffic.
Thanks again Kristie! Keep us updated on your progress 🙂
Great goals! Keep me updated on your progress too!
I love this post! I definitely want to outline some blogging goals for 2015. Although I’ll be transitioning into motherhood next spring, I’m hoping being a SAHM allows me the time for my blog that my FT job does not right now.
I would love to increase traffic too. Can you give details/info on how you plan to double your traffic? I’ve grown my traffic before but have been pretty stagnant for a while despite my efforts.
Congratulations! I blog while my little guy nap, he’s 2 now. It took me a while before I could get into a consistent blogging schedule after he was born, I was so exhausted! but it works now.
Plans for increasing traffic include guest posting, PINTEREST, and focusing on SEO. I’ll have to write a blog post soon with more details!
A fun idea for you to increase traffic and to have a maternity leave would be to line up guest authors on your own blog for the first after baby is born. Look for bloggers around the same size as you and reach out to them about guest posting!
