Blog Goals: Building A Non-Tech Community

by Ross on June 8, 2006

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Here are the blog goals for the EFL Blog June 2006-June 2007:

To encourage the creation of a new community of at least 6 other alkaline diet/natural health blogs - these do not exist yet, but through blogging passionately and regularly on the subject, I intend to inspire others out there to believe that this is possible, it is easy to achieve and it is most certainly worthwhile. I have already connected with a lot of new friends who are also passionate about this subject and the longer time goes on the more chance there is for me to encourage others to start blogging!
To recruit 3 other health crazy bloggers to post regularly to the EFL Blog - I think that by getting other perspectives and interests onto this blog it will be a far more useful and worthwhile resource. (if anyone is interested, do let me know).
To have this blog mentioned in a major online publication - hey I am covering some pretty important stuff on here - the more exposure the better!
To have over 500 unique visitors to this blog daily - I am striving to provide unbiased natural health news and resources, so the more people that read this blog the better.
To be recognised at THE natural health blog on the Internet - goes without saying.

I have written myself out a very detailed RPM plan for each of these goals and while they might be refined from time to time I know that if I can reach at least one of these by this time next year I will be doing extremely well!

that’s a great goal. creating community is important in and of itself, and interactive community of the sort that blogs encourage have a lot of potential to benefit a large number of people.

good luck.

Thanks for the encouragement! It wasn’t until I started blogging that I realised just how desparately close we are to the tipping point of creating a really strong natural health community. It is so close, but then so far away.

I am concerned that for as long as there are so many spammy health sites out there, people will be discouraged from getting involved - but it’s not going to stop me from plugging away.

Cheers again

p.s. not sure what your old design looked like, but your blog is looking great!
