Welcome to 2024, the year I turn the big 5-0, and the year I get cracking on all of those stories I want to write.

I’m laying out my full yearly plans, to cover all three businesses, and some personal lists as well, as I’ve done since around 2016-17. While not as much as last year, there’s still a lot to do and it’s all very exciting. So exciting, in fact, I’ve already crossed off several items.

My usual business plans, social mafia, health, and others are really the same every year. My writing plans and to sell & offer are new to the plan, so they’ll be staying as they’re the main goals of my business. I’ve divided the plans into sections for easier use. My Writing Plans, To Sell & Offer, My Business Plans, and My Other Plans all have multiple sections under them.

So, without further ado, here we go with my plans for the year. (There’s even room to add some more!).

 

MY BUSINESS PLANS FOR 2024!

 

Business/Author

– 1 – Buy Adobe Lightroom to make and sell presets. Use first half of year then upload for sale come July.

– 2 – Add my Google audio books to other sale sites via Findaway voices.

– 3 – Mailerlite!!!!!

– 4 – Continue with the local writers’ group.

– 5 – Attend writer’s workshop in February with the writers’ group.

– 6 – Get those reader magnets I need to write done for my newsletter.

– 7 – Continue to catch up with old author courses that I’ve done to try and learn things.

– 8 – Use the information from the online Content, Profile, and Opinion writing courses to write better blog posts, as well as opinion pieces for websites and media.

– 9 – Keep contacting papers, magazines, radio and TV stations for my opinion pieces.

– 10 – Redo paperwork for RSP. Reorganize to be easier and better. (June, July, Aug)

– 11 – Do an online screenwriting course or two????

– 12 – Try and fix the issues with the KDP versions of my Poems series.

– 13 – Find a cover designer for the next novel, do the interior typesetting, and get proofs.

– 14 – Publish Burning Desires in September.

– 15 –  Update LJD stand-alone novels with new author font.

– 16 – Publish TKW Anthologies 7-8 as e-books and print books.

– 17 – Update TKW covers 1-6 and cancel the 5×8 cls to put them under the djs.

– 18 –

– 19 –

– 20 –

 

Considering…

– Do media releases based on the online media release course I did.

– Try Amazon, Bookbub, or Facebook ads.

– Try Amazon’s A+ Content for my book’s Amazon pages. Although this is not highly recommended by authors, many use it.

– Potentially close down Streetlib. This might come at the end of the year after writing about them for my non-fic self-publishing book. Potentially close Pubdrive.

 

Social Mafia

– 1 – Update the website for Tiara King, and Jewel Divas Style.

– 2 – Blog at both when I feel like it.

– 3 – Continue to post to socials during the week across the board.

– 4 – Change my “Business Break” posts on the blog to “Business Break from socials” on TK social media. No need for it on JDS as I’m posting fortnightly anyway. But sometimes you gotta get off socials for a break, and I’m taking them in the school holidays.

– 5 – Do photos for blog posts.

– 6 – Change how I do my outfit posts. No longer post on JDS, just on JDS socials. Similar to floral outfit from 2023.

 

 

MY OTHER PLANS FOR 2024!

 

Health

– 1 – Continue with the chiro.

– 2 – Get to the dentist to check receding gumline and teeth since I’m turning 50.

– 3 – Use other measures to help my weight issues.

– 4 – Look at other measures to help my nail issues as they’re even worse than they were before.

– 5 – Be off the internet by 10:30, or earlier. Take Friday nights off over winter to veg out in front of the TV and heater. Keep up the Iron and Vit D through winter to stave off lethargy.

– 6 – Get will done!

 

Finances

– 1 – Save more each fortnight and continue to keep the credit card to a monthly limit.

 

Fashion/Jewellery

– 1 – Try and find the pieces I need for my personal collection.

– 2 – Continue with repairs as they come to hand.

– 3 – Get batteries for all of my watches.

 

Other Goals… which should be simple, right?

– 1 – Finish off my smaller book collections. Trixie Belden, Dana Girls, Susan Sand, Connie Blair, Kay Tracey, Linda Craig, Hardy Boys, MSW.

– 2 – Finish of my Swatch collection.

– 3 – Finish off my Caboodle and Sassaby collections.

– 4 – Redo Nancy paperwork to simplify and make it easier.
