Call these New Year’s Resolutions, call them goals, or call them whatever you want. This is just a list of things I would like to see, do, or experience in this coming year. I will keep these affiliate related for now but could add in some other stuff later.
Affiliate related stuff:
1. Double my affiliate income this year – I would be happy with more than double but if I can double my affiliate revenues every year for the next few years I could retire a happy man. How will I do this? Well, if you look at the next few items you will see how I plan on doubling it.
2. Create one new site per week – That is 52 new sites this year. Yeah, some of them will be just quick sites and some of them will be more involved. I can pretty much crank out a datafeed based WP site in less than an hour (http://whatdoesjoethink.com/2010/11/build-a-website-in-less-than-45-minutes/) so even if I take more time to build them I should easily be able to build one new site per week. Some of these sites will do well, some will do nothing. But if I can average somewhere around $50-100 per site per month I will be happy. Of course you can add a zero or two to those numbers and I would be even happier.
3. Build two membership sites – I have a couple ideas for some membership type sites. They are two very different ideas and even if I could get 500 people to pay me $10 a month to start I would be very happy. I do need to find a programmer before I can get one of these going but the other one will just be me getting off my butt and doing some work.
4. Write at least one new piece of content every day – This shouldn’t be too hard. I have 4 or 5 blogs (including this one) and I want to try and generate at least one post a day. That is 365 new pieces of content this year. There will be thousands of other pages I create. For this I am talking about hand written, real posts.
5. Sell at least one site – I want to build and sell at least one website this year. I don’t necessarily want to make a ton of money off it. Just sell one website. That shouldn’t be too hard.
6. Outsource – Hopefully by the end of the year I can develop a decent system for building websites so I can outsource much of the grunt work. This will just take some effort on my part to streamline my processes and put them in a logical order that anyone can follow.
So there you go. Nothing too extreme or ambitious. Just some simple goals that hopefully I can accomplish.
What are you goals for this year? Anything I have missed I should be shooting for? Leave a comment and let me know.
