#socialbloggers 64 // Blog Milestones

Blog milestones are discussed a lot within the blogging community.

There’s not a day goes by where I don’t see a Tweet from a blogger asking for follows to reach their next milestone.

I do feel like there is a bit of stigma attached to caring so much about your stats, though. Some bloggers are quick to say they don’t care about the numbers and they just blog for a hobby, which is fair enough – but I’ve often felt guilty in the past for caring about my stats. Like people will think I’m blogging for the wrong reasons.

It’s natural to want something you’ve put a lot of time in to progress.

And the only way to objectively measure your progression is by statistics such as page views and followers.

Yes, there are other ways to measure your success, such as improvements in writing and photography – but they might be more subjective.

In the past few months, I’ve become less concerned with follow numbers and I’ve been focusing more on my page views, specifically page views from the UK.

Anyway, enough waffle. Let’s get to the chat.

Q1: what’s your current milestone to achieve for your blog?

@Noor_Unnahar my current milestone is to reach 200 followers on @bloglovin … I’m currently at 151 🙂 #socialbloggers
