Having taken some Marketing and Business classes in recent years, I’m familiar with Mission Statements, as well as the necessity of having a strategic business plan for a start-up, or a revamped business.
Like many here, ( I Think?), I had just hadn’t applied those values or principles to my Blogging plans.
Hmm,..I guess my raison d’etre is number 3 on that list : “I blog as part of my plan for world domination’”.
Yeah, That’s the Ticket !
So Now, what is my Mission ?
My mission is to write such a great Blog about Politics, and develop such a following with my ‘reasoned yet radical’ outlook, that some major Company, let’s say b5media, will want to pay me outrageous sums for doing what I love best.
As part of my benefit package, Darren has to buy me the finest digital cameras and video equipment available, then teach me how to use them !
Once I have a proper satellite uplink for my laptop, I can blog from anywhere on the planet, so I can fulfill that Dream at the same time as I’m Blogging, and simultaneously writing and taping Travelogues from exotic locales !
Somewhere in there, I must find time to get my pilot’s license, and fly my float plane across Canada, with frequent stops to Fish and Photograph on may way to Alaska.

Throw in a beautiful and intelligent wife, and I’ll be pretty much, Livin’ the Dream !

Good blog. Hopefully it will make a few stop and think!

I recently wrote a blog on company mission statements. Its interesting to see how they are constructed and what keywords they have decided to use to reinforce their company values

Darren

Are there any particular blog platforms that operate out of Australia, one that you might recommend for beginners? My blog is interactive and might need upgrading as I grow with it. I have been seriously looking at Typepad as per Andy Wibbels recommendation. Are there any local ones, though?

Cheers

Great exercise…

The purpose of my blog is to connect topics in economic development, community development, and new media technology and identify practical actions readers can take to make a difference in improving our society.

A few more paragraphs on my site:

Now I just have to discipline myself to
a) keep up the short, useful posts
b) avoid the 2000 word essays I like to write at 1am

I made my blog in order to help myself learn more about what I am truly passionate about, to share that knowledge with others, and maybe make some extra cash along the way.

“To inspire people to take action on their weight, their health and fitness by taking action. To teach people that by changing their beliefs and creating powerful intentions that they can attract anything into their lives and get healthy, fit and sculpt their ideal physique. To show people that passion in their relationships is possible, and that by having a better relationship, there is more support for their partners to begin making lifestyle changes as well as lowering stress which also supports weight loss. To give people a reason to get up each morning and to take ONE step towards their goal of better health, better relationships, better fitness and a healthy, lean body.”

My blog’s mission is to leave a legacy for my as yet unborn grandchildren. My kids aren’t even married yet! I loved my grandparents thoroughly and finding a little diary of my nana’s after she’d left the planet was an amazing gift, that I wanted to pass on.
There are lots of side benefits such as knowing what I think, having a record of things that have interested me and stashing bits of info that I would otherwise forget. I have enjoyed creating something personal, yet constructed with an audience in mind. I love writing. The entrepreneur in me sometimes get’s caught up in potential profits, but my mission holds through thick and thin.

(Now I have written this for you Darren, I think I’ll go put it on my blog)

My Mission Statement is simply: ‘Pretentious, moi ?’

My mission statement is to make people laugh, and feel good about themselves. This is actually a new focus. I was a bit unfocused before that. I was writing humor, but I didn’t really know what the point was.

I took some time to think about it about 2 months ago, and I decided that I didn’t just want to write funny posts, I wanted to have a general aura of good feeling about my blog.

Finally, I came up with my new tagline, “Humor and the politics of empowerment.” That’s my mission statement.

I made a small website so I can share what I know about computers and help others.

My (new and very first) blog aims to “inform, comfort and inspire those living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease”.

Coming up with a purpose statement before I launched was important to me because:

1) I wanted a succinct statement which would let people know what this was ‘all about’ and what to expect; and

2) I needed to clarify in my own mind what my purpose was, so that if I ever felt lost or unsure I could come back and use this statement as my compass.

Darren: Just wanted to say that your site has been an absolute goldmine for me in the last couple of months as I have been thinking about / starting my own blog.

Even though I do not have the ambition to make money from my blog – my motivation is to help people in the same situation as myself – all the principles of how to make the information relevant, interesting etc still apply.

The richness of material freely available here is great – if I ever got stuck on an issue I would just come here and look it up. What to call your blog? How long should a post be? etc etc

And I was super pleased to see that you are a fellow Aussie – I don’t know why exactly but it’s nice to see Aussies doing great things.

Thanks

Being that our blog is a niche news/fan site theme and we get a lot of random Google hits, our blog puts the mission statement on the front page of the blog, at the top, and makes it clear to new readers what they can expect from our site. It is also handy to have a short, stock description to submit when we want to be linked on a site, like Mahalo.com (which we did today), that describes the site in a concise sentence or two.

We have two sites – our main news blog, and our sister site. Here are the mission statements:

NoFactZone.net (http://www.nofactzone.net)
The purpose of this fan site is to aggregate topical news articles and buzz from the blogosphere into a comprehensive Colbert-centric news source. We also feature exclusive interviews, daily Episode Guides, and breaking news updates with live coverage of events.

Colbert University (http://colbertuniversity.nofactzone.net)

Our sister site, Colbert University, is an ongoing collaborative project: a viewer’s companion for ‘The Colbert Report’. Colbert University explores aspects of the show’s comedy and catalogs its major recurring characters, terms, segments, and in-jokes. The site also features archived articles and videos, as well as one of the most comprehensive collections of ‘Colbert Report’ historical data and trivia on the web.

Ever have one of those “eureka!” moments. Well this is one for me. As stupid as it sounds, I just realized that with all the wandering topics on my blog, it would help me focus if I had a mission statement. Back to that old “how do you know what you should be doing if you don’t know what you are trying to achieve” type things. Strange that you can tell that to all kinds of people all the time and yet never take it to heart for yourself.

Thanks!

My blog is a platform of my advocacy, grief education and grief support. “Touched by An Angel” aims to promote my mission in life, The Compassionate Friends Philippines and reach out to bereaved family members who have lost a child.

I am not sure yet if the goal is the same as a mission statement but this is what it says on my home page.

It is the goal of my website to help you learn alongside me as I develop my website into a business of helping other people like myself who are interested in leaving this world a better place than when we came in.

I haven’t sat down and wrote it out (like I should) but my blog is about skin care. Specifically, from my own struggles with horrible skin, I want to cut through the hype and show people what actually works to achieve healthy skin.

I like the idea of a mission statement for blogs. It helps you to realize that it is a business and treat it like one.
