Wow! 2017 is almost here. I don’t know about you, but I’m beyond excited to start fresh in a lot of areas of my life – including the blog! I have a lot of things planned for the upcoming year, so let’s take a look…
1. More Content {at least 4x a week}
Boy oh boy, let’s get right into this. You’ve probably noticed that I haven’t been posting as much over the few months. Life has been busy, not that it’s an excuse. I’m just stating the facts. However, it taught me a very valuable lesson – I need to be better at time management and planning ahead. Life is always going to be busy and things are going to come up, but the blog is important to me and I need to make time for it.
I have a vision this year for Simply Nicole and I’m really going to run with it. Part of that vision is upping my content in general – more posts, more photographs, more social media. My goal is for at least 4 blog posts per week! Since I’m writing this here, I’m holding myself accountable!
I’m also going to be focusing on much more wellness content. Simply Nicole started as a healthy living blog, then broadened to a general lifestyle blog covering topics like home decor, travel, organization, etc. Overtime, I think I decreased some of the healthy living content. It makes me sad, since that’s the main reason I started this blog in the first place. So, in 2017 expect more posts about wellness topics like essential oils, yoga, meditation and more!
2. Wellness Toolkit for Email Subscribers
One of the things I’m most excited about in 2017 is creating a wellness toolkit {hopefully launching in January!}. I get asked a lot for recommendations on health/wellness products, so I thought it would be beneficial to have it all in one place. It will be a document with links to my all-time, ride or die, favorites – everything from podcasts, apps, yoga gear, books, snacks, etc.
The toolkit will only be available to people signed up for my newsletter, so make sure you’re subscribed!
3. Revamping My Newsletter
I’m actually also revamping my newsletter to give you guys even more valuable content. I struggled a lot with my newsletter in the past. I felt like you guys didn’t like when I sent emails every time I posted, but then when I did weekly newsletters, it was too infrequent and I forgot to send them.
So, I’m not exactly sure how often the newsletters will go out (maybe 2x a week), but I know for certain that it will contain exclusive content that you won’t be able to find on the blog.
// Also – I’ve been LOVING my PopSugar Must Have Box this month. If you follow me on Snapchat, you know that I’ve been trying a bunch of the products lately. Use code SHOP5 for $5 off your next box: http://bit.ly/2hXgWcs #musthavebox #sponsored
Love this list. And that photo up top. Super excited for you and the growth of Simply Nicole in 2017!
