If you are starting a blog or have an established one then you need to set goals.
If you don't have goals then you have no idea if your blog is successful.
Let's take a look at some goals that you may want to include for your blog or site.
One goal you might want to consider is number of visitors and page views.
Visitors is the number of people that come to your site each day, while page views is the number of pages those visitors viewed.
The easiest way to track this is to install the Google Analytics plugin and you will have all the information you need.
Start with a small goal then try to increase your visitors each month.
Another thing you may want to track is number of comments.
When you write a blog post, you want to write it in a way as to encourage others to comment and participate.
This makes your blog fun and also makes it look popular.
Just like with your visitors you should set a number of comments you'd like to get each month and then try to make it happen.
If you are monetizing your blog then feel free to set a goal as to how much money you want to make each month.
To be honest, when you are first starting out, you can't expect to make much if any money.
It takes time to gain loyal readers and get them to purchase something from you.
Another goal you could set is the number of subscribers.
When people enjoy reading your posts, they may decide to subscribe to your blog so they get all the updates.
The important thing to remember is that you need to set goals.
Make them attainable but make them so you have to work to reach them.
