As I was thinking ahead and musing about what might happen – what I want to happen – throughout my next decade of blogging, I thought I’d take some time to put it all into writing… partly to indulge myself, but mostly because I know doing so makes things happen. (It really does!)
So… what do I want to do? Where do I want my blogging life to go?
My Blogging Bucket List
Complete another 365-day marathon of daily blogging with NaBloPoMo. (Maybe this year? We shall see…)
Have at least one opportunity to do a REALLY amazing giveaway.
Earn enough money from blogging – either directly through my blog or indirectly through associated writing or other work – to pay for my annual blogging costs: blog hosting, plus attendance (ticket, travel, and accommodations) at the BlogHer conference.
Build up a database of my own photos to use with my blog posts.
Produce an e-book (not yet sure about which direction I’d like to go with it).
Get a part-time, work-from-home, blogging-related job (dream: BlogHer) to supplement my current part-time, work-from-home, non-blogging-related income.
May it be so…
What’s on your Blogging Bucket List?
Please share!

I really like your blogging bucket list. They all seem attainable and from what I have read (on your website), you have all the power and mindset to get it done!

Stopping by from Ultimate Blogging Challenge. Your post really got me thinking about where I want my blog to go. I had planned on mixing it up with some personal stuff like short stories and things I write along with informative posts. I have yet to make money with my bog, but I hope to do at some point.

I am considering doing a 365 day – but I will see how I do with the rest of January first. And a great giveaway would be awesome!

Same here – I’m just going to take it a day, a week, a month at a time and see how I do!

I attempt to blog every day, but some days slip through the net. Why do I blog? I write for myself, and if someone else likes to read it then that’s fine. I definitely do not seek to generate income from my blog. I really enjoy reading about the everyday lives of other people, particularly if they are far away. Sometimes women, sometimes men, sometimes younger than me, sometimes about the same age. In response to that reading I decided to share parts of my life. And that is my blog: pictures, jokes, experiences, likes and dislikes. I like to think that as we read blogs by ordinary people we gain in understanding of the world around us and so take small steps towards peaceful coexistence.

I very much like and share your perspective – that’s why I write, and that’s also why I read others’ blogs. Thank you!

I’m so happy to read about other bloggers having a blogging bucket list. I thought I was the only one that had one. It’s true that it’ll take sometime and work but I’m sure it’ll all be worth it.

I agree – just have to be patient and it’ll all come together!

Love your list! These are fantastic goals. In 2013, I made enough to cover 2014 expenses. First time ever! I’m not sure what my blogging bucket list would really have on it, because anything I commit to, I promptly procrastinate.
I’ve been wanting to work for BlogHer forever, but alas, I really have nothing to offer them.

Hi Laurel….this post is a great way to “NEXT’ what you want to experience in your life this week which I talk about in my recent post. For my blogging bucket list I intend to publish at least one ebook to Kindle using my more popular blog posts. I also want to make it available as a POD (print on demand). As so it is! ~Kathy

This is a great list. I should probably come up with a blogging bucket list too. Thanks for the inspiration!
