PRettySocial New Year’s Resolutions

new-year-resolutionYear after year, we all make New Year’s resolutions about how we’re going to work out, eat better, save money, etc. And while (in my experience) these don’t always stick, I’ve decided to create a list of my blogging resolutions for 2010…and I’m going to make them happen!

So without further ado, here are my PRettySocial resolutions for 2010…

1. I vow to blog more consistently. I must admit I haven’t been the most consistent blogger in 2009. There were weeks when I posted everyday and weeks that I didn’t post at all. When I got ultra busy with Pyxl, Social Media Club and planning my wedding, I let this lovely little blog fall to the wayside…but no more! I’m committing to finding time to brainstorm content and to write it…week after week! (I woke up an hour early to write this post)

2. I vow to strategize. I never really had much of a strategy for PRettySocial. I kind of just blog whatever I want, whenever I want, as long as it somehow relates to PR, social media, marketing, etc. However, I help clients create strategies for their blogs, so maybe it’s about time I practice what I preach! I’m going to sit down and make a plan. I need to get really serious about my blog in 2010.

3. I vow to vlog. Michael got me a FlipCam for Christmas, and I promise I’m going to use it for some good ole’ video blogging. I’m a little camera shy though, so give me some time on this one : )

4. I vow to get more involved in a non-profit or two. Maybe this contradicts the fact that I said I often feel too busy to blog, but I don’t care! I’m going to find time to get more involved!

5. I vow to broaden my focus. I’ve always admired how my friend, Sasha Muradali blogs about PR/Social Media/etc. and ALSO blogs about her other passions: beauty and trends! I’m no makeup maven like Sasha, but I do in fact enjoy more than just the world of PR…so stay tuned for some more, cool topics!

6. I vow to feature more guest bloggers. It’s no secret that I’m an opinionated person. However, I don’t really always like to hear myself talk. In fact, I’d love to get some differing opinions on here! Want to guest blog on PRettySocial? Email me your idea – nicole.vanscoten (at) gmail (dot) com!

…and there you have it — my PRettySocial resolutions for 2010.

What are your New Year’s resolutions?

    Great post Nicole. I look forward to seeing the video posts. Did you get a tripod as well?

    It might not help but I have taken to carrying a notebook around where I write down blog post ideas that can be written in the future while sticking to a minimum post count per week.
  • I do have a tripod :)

    That's a really good idea too! I just got myself an actual planner (I was using my phone & Google calendar for the longest time), so I can definitely write stuff down in there. That's my problem - I get ideas and then forget them, so writing things down will help.

    Thanks for the comment and Happy New Year!!!
