A baby takes their first step any day after 12 months of watching his mum and dad running around to care for them, and the desire to be up and running like their parents shows in baby’s eye.

It isn’t a fast process and you can’t expect him/her to be running around the house soon. Steps Toward Your Blogging Goals

Blogging is the same process which also takes a lot of time to be up and running at full speed. Many bloggers start blogs these days with grandiose dreams of making lots of money and getting thousands of readers.

While there’s nothing wrong with dreaming big, because it is absolutely possible to build blogs that are widely successful and profitable, but the reality is that It takes a lot of time and hard work to achieve it.

Focus on first step Blogging Goals:

Babies can’t dream of running overnight; they take the first steps and learn to walk slowly. So new bloggers can also do well If they spend more time thinking about the first steps and setting proper blogging goals that will bring them closer and closer to the bigger dreams they have.

I had a chat with a brand new blogger sometime back who had some very big dreams and blogging goals, I reflected back to him that instead of the big dreams he could benefit more by setting some realistic, short term goals. By short term I mean something where he could see results over a period of “3 weeks” or “2 months”.

Here are some examples of short term blogging goals that I would suggest every upcoming blogger set during their first steps:

Publish 20 quality blog posts
Work on the design of your blog to make it stand out and easy to navigate
Leave a 20 awesome comments on other CommentLuv enabled blogs in your niche for engagement
Get your first comment from someone you don’t know
Get your blog indexed by Google and other search engines like Bing
Build a readership with more than 20 readers a day
Hit a level of 200 unique visitors a day
Do your first guest post on another blog
Hit the level of 100 RSS or email list subscribers
Get your blog earning $100 a month

For new bloggers these blogging goals can be really helpful to take their blog to new level quickly. These short term achievements will boost your confidence and give you the encouragement you need to keep growing.

Now you might think those are great goals and all, but how exactly one would accomplish them? How does one get people to visit a blog that is completely isolated on the web? How exactly is it the few random visitors I get would like my blog and my content? Plus I know that the readers of the blog should be the main source of promoting it, but how do I get the first readers?

Well, spend some time reading the information here on Basic Blog Tips, this is where you can find answers to all of those questions and more.

When babies achieve the first step, they work towards the next steps to be able to walk or run, maybe with the help of parents, but the babies also work hard and sometimes they even fall down too.

So, now If you’ve hit the target of your first step goals, start to increase them and double the numbers for your next step.

For newborns to blogging setting realistic blogging goals can be the key to keep your sanity. It’s really great to have lofty ambitions and to keep them in mind daily. It might be a small accomplishment that will keep you going everyday, and then it starts to get easier to keep the momentum moving forward for your blog.

Final words:

In today’s world we are thinking about instant gratification as a way of getting things done. We sometimes forget that it’s a journey to get anywhere in life and too often we think that the end result is what which matters the most. In fact It’s a process of getting there which matters the most and which is meaningful.

Being able to build a blog as well as following requires you to be honest with yourself like a baby and learn the idea of taking it one step at a time.

Every now and then you should step out of your comfort zone and try something new like recording a YouTube video or starting an audio podcast to expand your reach.

Now I turn it over to you:

Do you agree with me on this? What do you think of those short term and first step blogging goals?

What are the first step blogging goals according to you?

I remember the last time around 1-2 weeks ago someone have pinged me on FB asking what he can do on his blog to at least generate $100 a month. My first suggestion to him was stop thinking of money and focus on your writing.

But, he pinged me again asking what should he do to increase his blog’s traffic. And my answer was in same point that you have written here from 1 to 10. Mine was not exactly 10 but was quite similar to it.

Comparing blogging from new born child is something new I’m reading on web. I’m impressed that you have ability to write content on your daily learning’s. Keep them coming!

I originally started my blog as a way of helping others make money online, not hoping to make money off my own blog. I have other avenues of making money online so my blog wasn’t one of them. I agree though, with ANY online business you need to realize it is going to take time, time and money…you are going to spend money in order to make money online, sorry but those are the cold hard facts…whether it’s blogging or IM…you are going to have to have a host, you need an internet connection etc. I love your tips though and am thinking maybe I SHOULD be looking into my blog making me some money…I won’t expect a waterfall…but every bit helps!

Ehsan Ullah Twitter: GuideAndNews December 11, 2012 at 12:29 PM: Yes, I’ve said it a lot of time that not to hesitate to invest on your blog because It needs investment too. Nice to know that you’re helping people make money online on your blog Ron.

I don’t really think of my blog as the starting point for income. I started building my email list before I started my blog so my income mainly comes from my email marketing sales funnel with my blog on the back end.

I use my blog as a content sharing platform which in turn generates new visitors and new subscribers. Even then (like you said), it’s important to set actionable goals to reach your bigger ones.

Thanks for the great post!

Yes, you are right, we must take small steps towards are blogging goals initially when we start to blog because slow and steady wins the race. If we try to proceed on a faster pace, we might end up either making a mistake or going a bit too far, which is also not good for the blog.

Ehsan Ullah Twitter: GuideAndNews December 10, 2012 at 10:11 AM: I must say that going to fast is also a mistake that bloggers make. Work towards your goal and try to achieve them smartly.

Hey Ehsan,

You’re certainly right, You can’t start earning $1000 from next day. You should have your long term goal but you need to have short term goals as well that helps you to accomplish your main goal.

Once you start accomplishing your short term goals it gives your confidence to accomplish your main goal, however if you concentrate only on your main goal then it could become very frustrating for you and one can even lose his interest in blogging.

Ehsan Ullah Twitter: GuideAndNews December 11, 2012 at 12:52 PM: Glad you liked my point Aasma, of course the first step goals is necessary to achieve your final goal.

Great tips to getting started blogging. The only thing I would add is for those getting started with blogging is to turn their blog into a list building machine.

The quicker you build a list the faster you build a repeat reader base which leads to loyal fans and people who buy from you over and over.

Rightly said Ehsan. When I was starting out with my blogging career, I made the mistake of thinking too far ahead, something that I realized was a mistake later on. Now I just make small targets which keep me going in the right direction.

I have hit a few of those and as I’ve gotten more experienced, I’ve had more than one person that I didn’t know comment on my blog. It’s a journey and like many, I have goals of how much I’d like to make in a day. I gave myself 2 years to hit it and I’m about 4 months in. As far as I’m concerned every little achievement deserves to be celebrated.
Thanks for the starting blogger list; it does help me to see how far I’ve come and how much I have to go!
Cheers

I am new at blogging and I am picking up little bits and pieces in what makes a successful blog. I do blog almost on a daily basis, but I am writing a lot more for each article and seeing my traffic increase.
I view my Alexa rank and it’s 23 million out of 26 million, something like that. I have been blogging less than a month and have almost 15,000 page views. Should my ranking be this high? Do I need to wait 3 months for Alexa to give me my true ranking?

Thank you very much!

Without goals, no one can survive. Even in blogging you need to constantly remind yourself that you need to achieve something .

Nice points Ehsan. Its always good to go step wise. Few newbies have no patience and they do blunder mistakes in the very first month of blogging which leads to failure. Your post is very nice for newbie bloggers who are planning to start their blog.

Many of today’s million dollar bloggers started from nothing, and didn’t have anything starting out. They had a long term vision. They stuck with the plan despite adversity and created a future for themselves. And sadly, those who doubted the struggling blogger in the beginning will come running back when they see the blogger making million online independently.

Ehsan Ullah Twitter: GuideAndNews January 5, 2013 at 5:08 PM: That’s great point Drewry, all the big bloggers and millionaires out there starting from the scratch and grew their business with planning and by following the first step goals.

Thanks for the nice comment.

You just gave me a great idea for my plan. I’m a huge fan of plans. I’ve mapped out all the ideas for my prepper/survival site but not for what I need to do to get it to grow. I think I’ll spend some time each week on writing down some of the things you mentioned above and set short term non-post related goals. Thanks!
