4 Years of amateur blogging: Did I reach my targets?

January 12, 2019

Wow wow wow. I never thought that 4 years ago that blogging would be such a huge part of my life, yet here we are. It is fair to say that over that period of time, I have experienced every emotion possible: Am I as good as everyone else? Should my stats be higher than they are? Could I do more? Overall, I am in a happy place, my content is better, I am putting less pressure on myself, and I am still enjoying amateur blogging. Here’s my last year in review.

Last Years Resolutions:

1. Reach 1600 Followers

To be honest, I didn’t even remember making this a target of mine, but at the beginning of 2018, I was at 1200 followers, and I am now at 1728. That is a huge increase, especially as it was something I was not monitoring. Thank you to everyone that has followed me!

2. Post More Regularly

2017 – 36 Posts

2018 – 44 Posts

Although this is not as much of an increase as I liked, I have to accept the fact that I have struggled with balancing university and blogging, and I did spend well over 8 weeks being ill. With that in mind, I am not disappointed at all.

3. Work On Improving My Photography

Well I mean, I don’t think this is one I can comment on because self-criticism and all, but I would like to think that my photos have got better. Here are some of my favourites.

4. Connect With More Bloggers

Once again, I would just like to thank all of you for all of the support over the last 4 years, here’s to another one!

In all honesty I am shocked about how much love is in the blogging world, I have had hundreds of comments in the last year which is truly mesmerising, thank you so much!
