Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of the gracious readers who shared their kind, candid feedback on how I can best keep you reading this old Meemaw’s blog! I truly, truly have the best readers ever! You’ve directly inspired my 2016 goals – and I hereby do declare I will do everything possible to achieve them. (A little public accountability never hurt anyone, right?)
So…without further ado…..
1. Better pictures – This is my #1 goal for the year. I’ve learned A LOT from the Tasty Food Photography eBook and am a proud owner of a brand spankin’ new camera. Now I’ve got to put it to good use and shoot, shoot, shoot!
2. Test the video waters – Is one technology goal ever enough? I’ve been really inspired by the Tasty videos we’ve all seen popping up all over Facebook and Twitter. And this old (but young at heart) Meemaw is going to figure out a way to do something similar. Fingers crossed…stay tuned. (And thanks in advance to my grandchildren who are already more “tech savvy” than me! I have BIG PLANS to get their help in creating and editing Meemaw’s “how to” videos.)
3. More posts about my kitchen tools – I heard you! You’ve asked which kitchen gadgets I use in my every day cooking, my recommendations on what specific kitchen gear to purchase, and how I organize my kitchen for max cooking efficiency. One of my goals this year is to do more sharing of this variety!
4. Freebies and Discounts! – Because I want to give back to all of you! I’m looking for ways to help you save money on kitchen gear AND give away some of my favorite products. Lucky ducks. Follow me on Twitter, like my Facebook page, or sign up for the blog’s newsletter to stay in the know.
5. Recipe eBook! – I’m working on a collection of my favorite recipes from the past to share with you. Think of it as vintage Meemaw (pictures from the ’60s included…maybe). Want to be the first to know when it’s ready to go? Subscribe to my newsletter.
6. Pull back the curtain on the ol’ blog business – If a (ahem!) 60-something Meemaw can earn money from blogging, so can you! This year I’m going to show you just how easy it can be.
Six BIG goals. Maybe a bit ambitious since my one and only goal for last year was to redesign the site (mission accomplished!). But – you CAN teach an old dog new tricks – I’m more than ready to learn!
What are your goals for 2016? I’d love to hear from you. So let’s all hold hands and jump in the deep end…together!
