Q is for Quality

MASTER LIST https://tinyurl.com/mu5vjy48

Our team theme this month is “Aspirations: Blogging hopes, dreams, and goals”.

When I started blogging over a decade ago, I had no idea what I was doing. I simply wrote whatever came to mind and uploaded it to my blog. There was no quality control, merely quantity.

These days, I put a lot more thought and effort into my blog posts. My goal for my blog is to have evergreen content that people can read and enjoy years after the posts have been published. I have a specific control list to make sure that each post is of the quality I strive to serve on my blog.

Because I strive for quality, not quantity, it takes a lot more time to write a blog post. But these posts have parts that can be extracted and repurposed. For example, I use parts of my folklore posts for my podcast. This feeds into my goal to have my blog’s content as accessible as possible.

What are your goals with your blog? What is the level of quality you reach for with your posts?

P is for Purpose

Our team theme this month is “Aspirations: Blogging hopes, dreams, and goals”.

I read a book a few years back, called Start with Why by Simon Sinek (and no, he's not sponsoring this blog post!). It really digs into the purpose of what we're doing as we lead others. I think it's really valuable for us, as bloggers to identify our purpose. Is it to inform others? Is it to entertain? Is to express ourselves and invite others on the journey? Is it something else entirely?

Understanding our purpose as a blogger can help guide our choices and help us on our path.

What is your blogging purpose?
