How To Achieve Your Blogging Goals (Guest Post)
No one gets nowhere without Goals. The common basketball players goal is to go Pro, and be in the NBA, or WNBA. Many of them Achieved this goal, and are now worth hundreds of millions.
It’s very much the same for blogging.
However a smart blogger takes it slower. Don’t start out looking for 10,000 views a day, and
100,000 subscribers. You will be disappointed. So First let’s discuss the fact that you need to…
Make Your Goals Achievable
Instead of starting out trying to go for the gold (Or in a blogger’s case, a Webby) try to get
something that you know you can achieve. Such as 10 Views a day. Then once you hit that go
for 15 views a day, and keep on adding 50% (and rounding to the nearest one. Example: instead
of 22.5 go for 23 a day)
This way you won’t get discouraged when you don’t hit that 10,000 a day in a week.
Please know I’m not saying 10,000 a day isn’t Achievable. It’s just simply not achievable right
away, you need to pass through these goals to reach that one bug goal first.
Now Let’s Discuss How To Do It.
The Factors For Achieving Your Goals
Heart, Passion & Soul
Persistence, and
Effort
Now Let’s Go Through These…
Heart, Passion & Soul
A key factor to achieving your Goals is enjoying them, loving them, and wanting to achieve
them. If you don’t love your blog it won’t succeed.
Persistence
When reality hits you, and your first post only gets 2 views—if it gets any views at all—are you
gonna whine, and give up? If so, don’t bother. You need to be persistent. I made 10 posts on my
blog before I got my 10th view. It was hard, but I kept going.
You Need To Keep Going!
Effort
This goes Hand-in-hand with Persistence, and passion. But its slightly different. Persistence is
continuing to post when your not getting much out of it. Passion is caring about what you write,
and do. Effort is putting sweat, and tears into your blog. Effort is spending 2 hours on support
for your blog. Effort is positing 3 times a day, and walking around putting up fliers around town
on a hot day for your blog when you know you may only get an additional 10 views that day
because of it.
Effort is Essential.
If You Follow These 4 Guidelines I Have No Doubt You Will Achieve All Of Your Blogging Goals.

Writer I will like to work with him .i clicked on the link but it is not working
PoojaG
Hi please email him at Caden738@theh2digroup.com or check out his blog theh2digroup.com
caden738
I’m write here! (Get it? “Write” because it’s about writing? Ok.) If you want we can talk through this comment section. If that’s what works for you.
Amazingchristiana
Cool it does …so can you explain what exactly you want to be done for you
caden738
I just want to write, really. I’m a very versatile author, I can write about most subjects. I don’t charge anything. All I want is credit. Simply put “By Caden738”, or “This Post Was Written By Caden738”, and then leave a link to my website theh2digroup.com. Do Those 2 simple things, and I may become a recurring writer for your site.
Amazingchristiana
So if I do that u will help me promote my site ?
caden738
What do you mean by promote your site?
Amazingchristiana
Like make me famous…or make people view my blog
caden738
Famous? Christiana I’m not famous, and I can’t make you famous. Famous blogs are blogs that have been going strong posting daily for 5, 6, or 7 years. I’d say that your blog is gonna need 2-3 thousand posts before you get recognition. Views however are something I can help you with. I can Reblog it, post a link to it on Twitter, and Facebook, but that’s about as much as I can do for you. But even then don’t expect thousands of views. Your blog has 1 post, and that’s from 20 hours ago. You should feel lucky getting 5 views per post with a blog that young.
Amazingchristiana
Oh okay can you help me get views then
caden738
As I said before I will reblog, and post a link to an article I guest write on your site on my social accounts, which will get you some views.
Amazingchristiana
Okay thanks
caden738
Your being very vague, and blank. So I just want you to say Yes, or No. Do you want me to write for you. Yes, or No. Now I’m warning you: If the answer is yes your at least going to have to put it the effort to send me an email at caden738@theh2digroup.com.
Amazingchristiana
Wait what are you writing again
caden738
I think your going to be to hard to work with honestly. I’ve decided I no longer want to write for you.
Amazingchristiana

The Newbury Girl
Great tips. Setting achievable goals is key! I try to aim for higher than I think I can achieve, but not so much that I think the goal is unattainable!!
PoojaG
Yeah I think that’s the best- aim high but not somethings that’s impossible!
Prairie Chick
Awesome tips!
I thought it was hilarious mentioning “effort is posting 3 times a day and walking around putting fliers around town”
I’ve noticed effort and persistence has been a big contributor to getting traffic to my blog. When I was posting sporadically (i.e., as a hobby/messing around), I wasn’t getting many views, if any at all. But when I decided to get serious a couple weeks ago and have been posting daily I’ve been getting much more traffic.
PoojaG
Glad you enjoyed the post! Yeah effort definitely helps!

Beautiful and amazingly helpful post.
The_Cynster
Doing you think it’s a good idea to stagger posts as you write them starting out?
caden738
Actually yes. If by “Stagger” you mean to start out slow.
Don’t immediately start out Publishing daily, slowly build up to it. Try posting once a week, first.
Choose a certain day, and stick to it. Then once you’ve stuck to that Schedule for awhile start posting twice a week, then 3 times a week, and so on until your posting at least 5 times a week.
The_Cynster
5 times a week seems like a lot
caden738
It does, but overtime it may actually seem like a little. That’s why you’ll see some people posting 5 times a day.
thoughtsnlifeblog
5 times a day is in my humble opinion unattainable, and your readers are going to get fed up.
caden738
Its unattainable for a single person, and if you do achieve it than your work is going to be low quality. However when it comes to readers getting “Fed Up” so long as you don’t Publish all 5 at once and dont shove it down their throat, but keep it on a strict schedule throughout the day then they won’t get Fed Up.
thoughtsnlifeblog
Yup, you gotta believe in yourself and keep on being persistent and you gotta connect with the word press community to get anywhere in the blogging game.
Great advise and tips.
