Hopefully 2024 is off to a great start for you. I am just excited for what this year has in store for myself and my family. For this year, I really want to focus on creating healthy habits and routines for myself as I call this stepping into my peaceful era. I really want to create a life that is not super stressful and more peaceful. I feel like creating these healthy habits will help be more peaceful and more organized. I don’t want to continue on the path I was on especially with doing things last minute or not having a schedule for things. I want to change how I operate in my everyday life and it starts this year. I didn’t set too many goals for this year lol but wanted to really focus on the ones I didn’t complete last year and some new ones.

Creator Goals

Be Super Consistent With Pushing Out Content – A lot of my creator goals intertwine with each other but in order to grow on social media, I have to do a few things. One is being more consistent so people see my content. I tried to post once or twice a week to my platforms but it didn’t seem to be enough. I know I’ve tried to define consistency in my own way but it doesn’t work on the current platforms. This is going to take me having a schedule on when I want to post to each platform (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, The Blog and Lemon8), batching content, taking the time to edit and making sure the quality is on point and so on. I started making a plan on how I want to do this and it will need work but determined to make this happen.

Grow My Following – So with being super consistent, it will help with growing my following. I know I want to hit 1K on Instagram and TikTok, for YouTube I am trying to reach 500 and have more watch hours so I can start monitizing and not sure where I want to hit for Lemon8. For this platform, I want to be consistent every week and also start engaging more with your blogs. I feel like I also need to be more engaging with others content to grow as well.

Pitch To Brands– We are going to get over that fear of pitching to brands to work with them. All I can do I keep asking until someone says yes. It is always good when brands reach out to you but I want to also reach out to them as well. I do need to update and work on my media kit and figure out how much to start charging for my content. I don’t want to low ball myself and also don’t want to ask for too much. I’m going to start pitching to 2-3 brands per quarter and I also need to make a list of brands I would love to work with.

Start Monitizing – I have been doing this for a long time and I’ve made some money before but would like to start bringing in more money. I know the content I push out has to be on point and amazing quality, lighting and super engaging.

New Camera/Space For Filming – I am determined to get the camera I want this year. It is under 1,000 dollars and feel like it is super affordable. I know once I figure out my budget, savings goals and everything I can find a way to save and purchase it. Also I am determined to create a space for filming besides being in my bathroom. I know I’ll pretty much still film my hair and some makeup content there but I really need to space to film so my content looks better.

Personal Goals

New Job – As much as I love what I’m doing, it isn’t enough for me financially. I feel like I should be getting paid more for the work I am currently doing so I need to start searching again. I’ll have to update my resume but I feel like it is time to start looking for something that I can afford this life and these bills.

Heavy On The Budgeting/Savings Goals – I seriously need to get back on track with having a budget and saving money. I’ve been attempting to do the best I can but it’s hard when things come up or you want to purchase some new products to review. I also wasn’t the best at saving money last year so I want to really work on when certain bills are due, how much they are monthly, how much I’ll have left over and so on. I just want to be in a better financially.

Taking Better Care of Myself – Now there are few things in this goal that I want to focus on and continue doing. I do want to continue my wellness journey (and ya’ll need an update from November lol) and how I can be consistent with that. I want to also get myself into therapy for the mental health part and just prioritize self care and stop running on empty for filling up others. I also want to establish healthy eating habits and so on.

I feel like I am going to have schedules on schedules on schedules but it will all work out and I will work through my goals. I think I am going to update in 6 months and then at the end of the year. I am feeling pretty good about my goals for 2024. Did you set your goals for this year? Let’s chat!
