While putting together my collection of goals for the coming year, I decided to make some goals surrounding my social media presence as well. This is an area I really struggle with, so I’m hoping having some goals for the year will help me to develop my skills.

Post Consistently

I am really bad at posting on a regular basis, and I always try too hard when I try to get into a posting habit. This year I am committing to at least one post daily on Instagram and Threads, and one post weekly on Facebook and TikTok. I haven’t really been using Bluesky because I really haven’t figured it out yet, but I would like to eventually post daily there as well. (If Tiktok is banned as expected in January, I may start posting on YouTube, I’m still exploring this possibility).

Engage the Community

This year I will be responding to more posts, posting questions and polls, sharing and soliciting recommendations, and all around just interacting more with people across my social media platforms.

Build a Brand

I want my presence across all platforms, including the blog, to be consistent. I may not share exactly the same posts to each platform, but my message and images will be the same.

Break Through My Comfort Zone

Fear has held me back from posting what I think, sharing videos of myself, and interacting with others on socials. This year I am breaking away from that fear and posting my thoughts, making videos, and making friends.

Build Connections

I need friends, so my primary goal is to create genuine connections with likeminded people. This means commenting on people’s posts and blogs, and starting conversations.
