What Did Blogging Teach You In 2007?
Blaine Moore is one of the mentors in the Blog Mastermind forums, an experienced blogger and is one of the original readers of this blog. He’s the author of Run To Win, a blog about running marathons and is someone who I really appreciate as an online friend since he helps out so much.
Blaine skyped me last week about an article he wrote for his fellow bloggers, and since he doesn’t have a blog about blogging, he offered it to us here at Entrepreneurs-Journey. In this article Blaine explains how important it is to publish a “retrospective year end” piece. You only have a few more days to get this article done before the new year, so you better get cracking!
The Retrospective Blog Post
Every blogger should write an annual retrospective on the previous year. The retrospective is a great way to improve your sense of community on your website and can also clue you in on trends that may have slipped by unnoticed. Planning out what you want to do in the new year is made much easier for having known what happened in the past year.
The first time that I wrote a retrospective was part of a Problogger group writing project on reviews and predictions about anything. I chose to write mine on what happened on my site over the previous year and what I expected in the year to come. This year I decided to write another retrospective, and it was interesting to see how accurate my predictions from a year ago had turned out to be.
