Day 10 – Blogging Bullseye

Aug 5, 2012 | Blog

It’s Day 10 of the Blogging Olympics, and today’s event is archery and share our blogging goals.

My eight year old is about to go on his first ever school camp and is looking forward to trying archery for the first time.

Anyway, back to the prompt.

To be honest, on this blog, I don’t have blogging goals, as such. I want to build my readers and the likes on my Facebook page. That is building my author platform – something that authors need these days. I haven’t really put numbers to it, just want as many as possible.

For my Accidental WAHM blog, however, things are quite different. That is one that I have thought more about numbers.

The blog itself is on hold for a bit while students from RMIT do some research for me, but I am hoping to relaunch it with a new template and stories very soon.

Currently I have 305 on the Accidental WAHM Facebook page. By the end of the year I would love to double this. There are only 4 followers on the blog. I would like this to be closer to 40 or 50.

I’m not quite sure how to increase these numbers… maybe I need to have some giveaways to boost these numbers.

The number of visitors are also low, but I know these will increase as I start posting there again.

This is something I've spoken about before, but it's worth mentioning again. Libraries can be wonderfully safe places for neurodivergent people. They are often quiet and calm, and you can be surrounded by books. There are times when there is noise, especially during...
