Goal setting is so important, especially for an unorganized person like myself. Goals keep you on track, they keep you focused, and are just good things to have. Which is why I am pleased to announce that I have finally set up a page just for my blogging goals.

Check out my new goals page!

I have created SMART goals, because general goals just do not work. The have to be:

S - Specific

M - Measurable

A - Attainable

R - Relevant

T - Time Bound

To make sure that my goals are time bound, I have separated them into 3 categories.

* 1 Month Goals
* 3 Month Goals
* 6 Month Goals

My Goals For July

I want to take some time to look at each of my 1 month goals separately, and talk a little bit about how I see myself meeting them by the end of July.

* Increase RSS Feed Subscribers to over 100 (Currently 30)
To be honest, I think this goal should be quite easy. I have a lot of things planned to make sure that I meet this goal. As I have mentioned I will not be holding a contest, but instead I will be focusing on providing benefits for my readers and subscribers - making them want to subscribe because they like StandOutBlogger, not because they want to win some contest.
