Lately i’ve been thinking a lot about where i want this blog to go. I know i want it to continue to grow, but i’m still unsure as to the direction. I would love to turn Inspiration.Sparks into more of a travel blog, but let’s be honest we don’t really travel that often. I keep coming back to lifestyle blog, which i believe is sort of where i am at, currently. I do however want to add a few new topics to the mix, like style posts, vlogs, maybe some reviews (although not that many because i despise seeing review after review on a blogs feed), but you catch my drift. I think it’s essential to sit down and think about these things maybe once a year.
For now i have a to-do list in mind of things i want to achieve before this year ends.
- Organize my files – Before moving all my camera pictures to the external hard drive i need to sit down and organize everything.
- Buy an external hard drive – i need to put my camera pictures elsewhere because my laptop has barely any space left and it’s super slow. Plus it would be nice to know my pictures are safe outside my computer.
- Buy Lightroom / Learn how to use it – Would you believe me if i tell you i use PicMonkey to edit my pictures? I’m embarrased to even type it but it’s true. The website has been a godsend and it has served it’s purpose, but it’s definitely time to upgrade.
- Create/Distribute a Reader Survey – started making one with Google docs but after some research i discovered Typeform and i love how easy and customizable it is.
- Save up money to move from Blogger to WordPress.org – This has been a goal of mine for quite some time and i believe it is time to make the big move.
- Get a new Blog design! – I love love love this design i won from Melyssa over at The Nectar Collective, but i really want something more interactive.
- Order some Blog business cards – I would love to be able to have some business cards in my wallet, that way when i visit a shop/restaurant i plan on featuring i can easily leave my information or even to be able to pin it in a bulletin board, a lot of shops/cafes here have them.
Now if only i was made of money, am i right? HA! For now the first order of business is a reader survey! The goal of this survey is to learn more about you my lovely reader. It will help me narrow down the focus of the content i create. It’ll also help me get to know my audience a little more in depth, especially what they enjoy reading, what they would like to see more, etc.
Help me out – -> Launch me! The survey will be up for 2 weeks! Thanks in advance! 😉
