As we get going again (and in order to facilitate a distinct feeling of deja-vu), here are my goals for this blog project for the coming year.
i. Report on making $25 000. Yes, the final target remains the same, folks. Although I set this as my target some four months since at the commencement of this blog, the aforementioned dose of Real-Life® put things on ice for a while. So I have re-aligned the project to run one calendar year, beginning January 1st, 2008.
ii. Acquire steady linear traffic growth. I’d like to see steady growth in readership and organic search engine traffic and will apportion my promotional efforts and expenditure so to make this real. I want to try to keep the monthly moving average of unique and page views on an upward trend.
iii. Break the 50K threshold on Alexa. Sitting rather un-prettily at a mere 7 546 976 at present, I realise this is both quite a tough target and of mythical importance.
iv. Establish several diverse revenue streams. As the online earning arenas continue to fragment and become increasingly more granular, I would like to gain a solid foothold in at least three distinct areas each offering its own unique revenue opportunities.
I consider these humble and manageable goals and even if I fall short on one or all, it is guaranteed to be both a fun and educative experience.
