Do you have a long term strategy?

Do you have a long term strategy?

I kind of noticed that the biggest flaw of my blog is the lack of a long term strategy. As sad as it is, it is true… And this is translated in one of the following faults of each this blog can be blamed off:

1. lack of constant quality posts
2. lack of targeted articles
3. abundance of posts about gadgets and funny stuff
4. failure in building some kind of a community here

Well, i always blame my severe lack of time and motivation for all these. But i now understand i need to put together a long term blogging strategy. That’s why I’ve put together a list of objectives for the next 3-6 months:

1. Increase my number of RSS subscribers to at least 500 (currently have around 150, so don’t hesitate to subscribe )
2. Write quality material and focus more on the SEO/SEM niche
3. Engage with readers and other blog owners and try harder to set up a small community of dedicated readers
4. Increase my number of readers to 5000+ per day (currently around 1500)
5. Maintain my earnings to a level of 1000$+ per month

And how am i going to achieve all of these?

1. Put down a couple of "How to’s" "SEO Guides" and some tools I’ve been planning to get coded for some time
2. Post regularly, daily if possible. I’m not looking for a co-author for now, but who knows…
3. Set up an emergency queue with enough articles to cover at least a week’s worth of posting, for the times i get bored or too busy with other things
4. Focus more on the niche

Now, how about you? Do you have any long term blogging strategies or are you just blind posting like i do… ?
