Happy New Year 2010! The New Year Plans
2009 was an important and memorable year in my blogging history, because I started blogging on my own domain and hosting in this year. I started blogging in English in early 2008, but it turned serious in the year 2009.
It is just the rule of nature that after 12 months, a year will be over. We have been watching so since we were born. So, there is no way we can prevent the past from being past. All we can do are analyzing what we’ve done in the past and planning for a better future.
Same to your blogging career.
Maybe the January 1st isn’t your blogging anniversary; still you’re entering into a new year with your blog and you must be planning for something new and better than before. Here are some tips that are right now in my mind that I’m planning to do by myself in the year 2010. You can follow these tips to take your blog to the next level in 2010.
- Unless you’ve got thousands of posts in 2009, you may want to explore each of your post and see how readers reacted with them. You may find a way to improve the way you write or the style you use to format your post body.
- Consider if you need to change your blog’s layout. I don’t recommend changing blog’s look too often, as it may be irritating to some readers. But I do recommend you to change layout or theme in case you think that the change will make it better.
- See the post publishing rate of your blog and compare it with how many active readers or subscribers you have. If you have a pleasing amount of readers, you should consider writing more often. However, if you think that your writings become worse if you try to write too often, then just leave it. To publish posts more often, you can’t sacrifice your quality of writing.
- Try to remember how many ways you’ve used in 2009 to gain visitors to your blog. Most bloggers will find that they left comments, guest posted, exchanged links, etc. Sit with a pen and paper and note down what ways you’ve used to drive traffic to your blog. If you find out that there’s something you didn’t do, you may consider trying that new way of bringing visitors on your blog in the New Year.
- Find more relevant blogs to interact with in 2010. Remember, the more blog-relations you have, the better for your business.
Business? Yes, you read it right. After reading all these, you may be wondering why you should do all these stuff for your blog. Let me remind that as long as you are planning to make some money from your blog, you’re running a business and you are an entrepreneur. So, treat your blog like a small business and try to grow it larger. Hard work and patience will one day for sure bring success to your way.
Wish you all a successful blogging year in 2010!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
