Setting Goals and Purpose | Day 1 of 30-day Blogging Challenge

Finding a purpose of blogging for today.

I know I can just journal what I do, but today I will set the goals first.

Why set goals? So there is a purpose of blogging.

Without purpose, the blog goes nowhere, has no ending, no meaning, hence never get published.

On the other hand, purpose can be called as the reason one aims at to achieve a goal. Unlike purposes, goals always go forward in a specific direction. Purpose, which is all about direction, is that something that influences goals. Unlike goal, purpose is broader and deeper. http://www.differencebetween.net/miscellaneous/difference-between-purpose-and-goal/

Today’s top 3 goals.

– Complete an overdue edit for a client (service work).
– Create a video tutorial to answer videography questions (marketing).
– Set up the next videography class sales page and market (sales).

Next goals.
– Prepare slides for 4-hour customized videography class. Due on Thursday.
– Sell BlackMagic ATEM.
– $1000 daily income challenge

I have some more goals than I have time. The rest are listed below.

Welcome to Journal (aka Note to Self) 25 April 2017 Tuesday.

Today marks the first day of the Daily Blogging 30-day Challenge.

Let’s start with something that will affect the future both long-term and short-term.

SETTING UP THE NEXT VIDEOGRAPHY CLASS SALES PAGE

• Eventbrite did not respond to my email request to change an existing single-date event to a multi-date event.
• So I have to do it myself… create a new multi-date event… and that means I have to inform affiliates of the single-date event to get a new link.
• Created the multi-date event for the upcoming course on 20/21 May 2017.
• From within Eventbrite, automatically generated a Facebook Page Event.
  https://www.facebook.com/events/1167579786704978
• Created a unique URL.
  https://videographyclass.eventbrite.sg
• Embedded Eventbrite ticket Widget into VIDEOLANE.COM  sales page.
  http://www.videolane.com/courses/basic-videography/#register
• Change existing BVC single-date event to the new date. Just for existing affiliates who have placed links.
• Changed date on EventBee… http://videographycourse.eventbee.com/
• Done. Continue related action steps tomorrow.
