Hey pals,
Here’s an update on my goals of 2020, how I did and what I want to achieve this year! Maybe a little about what I’ve learned but I think I discussed that more in my December Goals post where I tried to go for a final push to reach my 2020 goals.

Another I wasn’t following originally but I do have some stats.
I was at 400 followers in March of 2020.
I went viral 4th March 2020.
Hit 2k on 1st December.
End of 2019: 102
2020 goal: 200-300
End of 2020: 310
Goal reached!
2021 goal: 500
Both goals reached! I did have to hit 300 subscribers twice as my first video post after reaching 300, 5 people unsubbed and took me back under my goal and I had to do another promo push which took another week and a half.
2021 goal: 500 – 1,000
2020 goal: 12 books
Reached goal and changed it to 50 books as I was reading so much, re: pandemic.
New goal: 50 books
2021 goal: I’m going with 12 to start, see how the year goes, then up it to 50 again. I still have a lot of books to read that I already own.
End of 2019: 667
End of 2020: 1,405
Goal reached!
2021 goal: 1,500 – 2,000
This one I started thinking more about this year so I only really have my end of year stat!
My notes day I was at 9 followers 14th April 2020. I didn’t start streaming regularly until November/December 2020.
End of 2020: 19
I just wanted to add a little Book Suggestions section!

I think I’m going to be a bit less bothered about my Facebook follow numbers, I’d like them to go up obviously and I’ve found it can be a good source of traffic. TikTik surprised me this year, I accidentally ended up at over 1,000 followers so gave myself an aim of 2k and it carried on growing after that. I mainly want my YouTube and Instagram and blog followers to go up as these are my main creative spaces I put a lot of work into! The algorithms change semi-regularly, it’s hard to keep up as a small creator and hard to understand what is and isn’t working. But I’ll keep pushing as I would love to make this stuff my full time paying job, I love creating so much and sharing my thoughts, it really is a passion for me but it is hard.
I hope everyone had a good 2020! And the best of luck for 2021.
