Happy new year lovelies! It’s officially a new year! I am always excited for new year’s but I must admit that I am not so psyched for this new year.
I don’t know why I am not as excited for 2021 as I always am for every new year but I decided that I won’t start this year on a bad note. And so, today I’ll be sharing my goals for the new year!
At the beginning of every new year, I always set my goals for the new year by writing my goals down. I love setting goals as setting goals help guide me in the right direction. Here are my goals for the new year!

1. get a domain for my blog
Number one on my goals for the new year is to get a domain for my blog. This is first on the list because it is very important to me.
I have been blogging for a little over a month now and, just before the year came to an end, I decided to get a domain for my blog. As, getting a domain for my blog will make my blog look more professional and it will take me one step further in achieving my blogging goals.
2. give more time to my studies
This goal is just as important as my first goal for the new year. This year, I want to give more time to my studies.
Nothing good comes easily and if I want to be known as a scholar, I have to devote more time to my studies. Hence, I have decided to put more time and effort into my studies.
3. blog consistently
Consistency is very important in anything we do and it is a much needed criteria if you want to excel in the blogging world.
This year, I want to be consistent with blogging and post at least once every week. Alongside being consistent, I want to create quality, top-notch content.
4. get 1000 followers on twitter
Right now, twitter is the major source of traffic and engagement for my blog as I am still quite new and haven’t mastered the art of Search Engine Optimization.
While I intend to work on SEO and other social media platforms, I want to build my follower count and engagement on twitter first as I find Twitter a great platform for blogging.

5. build my confidence and my self esteem
I am pretty much a very confident person and my self esteem is great too. But, I guess there can never be a limit to building confidence and self esteem.
I want to build my confidence and self esteem even more this year! The sky is the limit.
6. make money from my blog
You read right. Yes, I just started my blog but, I feel like, it is never too early to start making money from a blog.
It’s just, growing your blog to a point where you can make money from it requires a lot of hard work and, I am so ready to put that hard work in! This year, I want to get my first blogging paycheque.
7. i want to learn SEO
This is such a big deal for me lol. I feel like SEO is hard and that mindset has prevented me from even trying to learn anything about SEO.
But, this year, I have decided to learn SEO no matter what and not let the popular phrase “SEO is hard” stop me from learning SEO. I think I might get an SEO eBook tho, but we’ll see.
8. i want to stop taking things too seriously
Last, but not the least, on my goals for the new year is to stop taking things too seriously.
Things get to me a lot more than they should. I must admit that I take things way too seriously. If someone insults me or acts rudely, I keep thinking about what that person did and it bothers me seriously meanwhile, these things are part of life and not everyone will like you.
I want to make myself learn that some people only try to dim other’s light to make themselves feel better. I want to make myself understand that not everything and everyone is worth my time and energy and I want to learn to stop taking things too seriously.
conclusion
Above are my goals for the new year. I hope you enjoyed reading. Do you set goals for the new year? If yes, what are your goals for the new year?
I love setting goals for the new year, I don't set myself too many as I don't want to feel overwhelmed or pressured into achieving them! I hope you achieve all your goals in 2021 x

Great post! I enjoyed reading your goals and wish you much success! Happy New Year!
I like setting new goals for the year too. It sounds like you've got some great, achievable goals. I wish you well in achieving them.
You have some great goals. SEO is SO important for blog growth! Have you looked into any of the courses available? I recently got my hands on the SEO The Easy Way ebook and can't wait to start digging into it!
Happy New Year!! Love the different goals you have listed. Buying a domain and getting self-hosted on WordPress is a huge jump that's worth every effort. The sooner you do it, the better too – less to migrate over. But also important to see if blogging is right for you. Seem like you're doing great so far too! Wishing you the best in 2021!

Not taking everything seriously is a great help in adding some humor our outlook on life. 🙂
I'm definitely a big goal setter. I set them at the beginning of each year and each month. I actually have a lot of the same blogging goals as you. Best of luck on your goals in the new year!
I love New Year's resolutions and although I have to admit, I don't completely follow through on them, it's always nice to have something to look forward to! I have very similar goals with you! Prioritizing blogging is one of them 🙂 Here's to 2021! xo
I love setting goals for the new year! Although I must confess I haven’t set mine yet this year! Good luck with your goals – they seem really achievable and well thought out! You can do this!
Such wonderful goals! I need to get better at SEO too! I try to do it, but then sometimes I give up because it is so confusing lol
Good luck with your goals. I'd really like to learn more about SEO but it seems so confusing that I don't know where to start!
