I find that when I write something on my blog about what I want to do that I&#8217;m much more likely to actually follow through on it.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nEach time I&#8217;ve written these things I&#8217;ve had readers write to tell me their blogging goals and even to suggest that we create a space where people can post them. As a result I thought &#8216;blogging goals&#8217; might be a good topic for another ProBlogger group writing project (the last one was on <a href=\"https:\/\/problogger.com\/habits-of-effective-bloggers-group-writing-project\/\">Habits of Effective Blogging<\/a>).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>So this week I&#8217;d like to invite you to write a post on your blogging goals as part of a group writing project.<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>To participate, here is the process to follow:\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>1. Write a post on blogging goals <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be as creative as you&#8217;d like &#8211; take it in any direction you want from writing a long list of your own blogging goals, through to sharing just one or two of them. <\/li>\n<li>You can write it in any form you like (last time we had poems, rants, humorous posts etc).<\/li>\n<li>Consider calling your post something a little different to &#8216;blogging goals&#8217; as last time we had 80 submissions, most of which had similar titles. Your title is a key to making people come and read  your post.<\/li>\n<li>Ideally it&#8217;d be great if you could write it on your actual blog but if it&#8217;s completely inappropriate to do so I&#8217;ll post them again on ProBlogger on a &#8216;page&#8217; (not a post) with a link back to your blog. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<strong>2. Let me Know about your post<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Once you&#8217;ve posted your post simply let me know about it by sending me an email via my contact form.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you include your name (as you want it to appear in my list), your post title and the URL to your post (not just to your blog&#8217;s front page).<\/li>\n<li>Submissions must be received by me the the end of Thursday 8 June (as long as it&#8217;s still Thursday where you send it from I&#8217;ll accept it).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<strong>3. I will post 2 links to your post<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the day or two after you let me know about your post I&#8217;ll post a link to it in two places. Firstly there will be a daily (ish) list of the submissions from the last 24 hours. Secondly there will be a central list of all submissions for the project so we can see everything on one page. From what I could tell last time &#8211; people did visit the posts that were submitted &#8211; some bloggers seemed to get more traffic than others depending upon what day they submitted and a little on how their title read.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ll post my final list of submissions on Friday.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<strong>4. Surf Surf Surf<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This is where you take over. Surf the submissions received. Leave comments, make connections with other ProBlogger readers and enjoy reading what others have to say.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<strong>5. Link Link Link<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There is no formal &#8216;judging&#8217; as this is not a competition. Instead &#8211; I encourage you to surf through the submissions at the end of the week and announce your own winners on your own blog. Name a top 5 or so and share the link love.<\/li>\n<li>Probably the best part of the last group project was the amount of inter-linking I saw happening between participating bloggers as a result of their posts. It was obvious that people found new blogs through it and that the benefits of participating was way beyond getting a link from me but flowed on to a lot of new connections and links between other bloggers. <\/ul>\n<p>PS: if you want to use the blog goals graphic above you&#8217;re welcome to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve written on a number of occasions on the topic of developing goals for a blog over the past few months.
