What can I do for you in 2017?

I have been writing this blog since 2015 and it is my hope that I have shared some valuable experiences with you all that has helped you in some way or another, even if it is just to let you know that you are not the only one that is struggling with something in photography. Which has been my ultimate goal.

Last month I decided to make a list of goals that I wanted to accomplish over the next year. I broke it up into several areas, personal, photography, and blogging. In each area I picked things I wanted to improve upon in order to grow and become a better person. So over the course of the last month I have been working on these items and trying to find avenues to improve. One of the areas that I try to get ideas from to help me move forward is podcasts. I recently listened to a podcast from Darren Rowse from ProBlogger and I realized that there may be more that I should be doing for my readers. In the podcast titled An Alternate Resolution to Transform your Blogging in 2017 Darren made the suggestion that bloggers at times are more worried about what their blog is doing for them, making an income, being a basis of content, being an outlet for the blogger to express themselves etc, however what is it really doing for their reader? This made me stop and think. I have spent the last few years trying to be a consistent blogger and sharing my experiences with you, good and bad, with the idea of being educational. But has it even been helpful? I do not have a huge reader base so the question becomes am I not doing enough for my readers?

I have decided that this is something that I need to focus more on this year. I want to interact more with my readers, and I want my content to be driven more by what the readers would like to see. With that thought in mind here it is....

What would you like to see more of in regards to content?

What do you think I should cover more of in 2017?

What would you like to learn more about this year?

What would it take for me to get you to join my email list and become an active participant with the blog?

Please leave your answers in the comments or email them to me personally. I want nothing more then to improve over the coming year and I need your help in order to do that. I am looking forward to all of the responses that I am able to get in order to shape this blog!
