Blogging Goals For 2025!

The dilemma for today is whether to look at emails or write a post. Writing a post wins at the moment, even if I might have to stay late to look at everybody’s posts and not get overwhelmed, which isn’t easy for me. As I said in my personal life goals for 2025, I did plan to do life and blogging together, but the life one got too long since I ranted way too much to do them together. Before I share what I aim to do writing-wise, here are my thoughts on AI writing, which, let’s face it, is taking place all over.

The idea that an author can write a whole novel with AI is upsetting because, as a reader, I would be reading stuff that a robot thinks sells the most. After all, the world runs on money, right? I don’t think I will ever use AI to write a blog post, but I think people will catch on quite quickly, especially since I have quite a few writing errors. In a way, it makes content my own as long as people can understand me. The thing I might use it is to give me writing prompts to which I can add my ideas on to.

Try to comment more on other people’s content.

I try to like 99.9% of the posts I get in my email, but I rarely comment on stuff, something that I have been putting in more effort in December, and it’s something I plan to carry over this year.

Ask to collaborate with more people.

Hear me out. I think there are some awesome creators in the blogging community who I would love to work with, but I fear that when they see my content, they will think it’s not entirely up to part with theirs, which I know it isn’t the right mindset hence why I’m trying to change it.

Speak up to WordPress.

I wrote countless posts sharing my opinion on WordPress or the changes they made, which, more often than not, I ended up hating. I don’t write to them because I assume they won’t get back to me. However, I won’t get my answer unless I try to reach out.

Try to care less regarding the ad side of blogging.

In the last few months, I have been doing better at this, mainly because I didn’t have a laptop for a bit, and the app doesn’t show you that section, or I haven’t found it yet. Plus, I don’t think it’s a good indicator of checking blog traffic-wise.

Now, I’m curious about two things. If you don’t blog daily, is there a considerable rise in views when you do post? I look at posts from email, and in some cases, it automatically takes me to the reader section. Are views still getting counted like that? I hope they are, but if they aren’t, it’s something worth talking to WordPress about.
