October Goal Review + November Goals

So, October was my first month stating blog goals. I think perhaps there were too many goals which were a bit too large in scope for a blog I only post to four to ten times a month. Despite that, I did try to implement them.

I sneaked in the Swap Feature at the last possible moment and I only posted one item, but at least it's started. I posted twice with actual tag sale procedure/content. I tried out the asking more questions thing on one of them, but it was a bit stilted because I just tacked it on at the end. I need to work on ways of integrating them more naturally, but I think I still want to have something general at the end of each of those posts for people who are new to tag sales and might not know where to start.Any tips? I also posted more often, but not much more regularly. I may experiment with scheduling posts more, but I get antsy waiting for a post to be live when I've already written it, especially because then I might not be around to read and respond to comments right away.

Anyway, having the goals in mind has been great, I just think I need to take it slower and really do them well. So here goes November.

1. Post at least three outfit posts for the month. These are so much fun to do and people are always really responsive to these kinds of posts.

2. Find more bloggers to interact with. It's easy to find blogs I enjoy reading that are about clothes. It's much harder finding ones I really enjoy that are about tag sales and bargains. (I do love Yard Sale Bloodbath.) If you guys stumble upon any, I'd love it if you sent them my way.

3. Get more swappable stuff photographed. That's the most annoying part for me because it's all strewn about until I actually pull it together for swappingness.

That's it for November goals. November through January there's lots of tag sale boom and bargains to be had so I may be too busy experiencing them to introduce a ton of goals.

Def. good goals, and def. do-able i think.

Checked out the garage sale blog you posted to. Do you know where they are based?

Adiel, yes, we want to hear about how you did, too!

Babe, I don't really remember. They mention landmarks and neighborhoods all the time.
