Did I Hit My Goals for the Month?

Posted on March 3rd, 2008 as Goals, Site News

Planning

I can’t believe we are in March already. It seems like yesterday we where just coming out of January. Since the month is over lets recap and see how I did on my goals for the month. My goals for Febraury where:

  • Finish my blog design
  • Get a better logo designed
  • 2500 Visitors
  • Write 15 posts
  • Get 25 subscribers
  • Comment on 3 new blogs a week

So how did I do on my goals?

  • Finish my blog design - Almost done need one or two minor things but I don’t think I ever will be finished with it
  • Get a better logo designed - Completed, I got that setup the last week of the month but I finally got that completed
  • 2500 Visitors - I really missed this goal.I only had 873 Visitors for the month.
  • Write 15 posts - I had 18 posts not including announcements so I managed to hit this goal
  • Get 25 subscribers - Another goal that I missed I had around 11 subscribers according to feedburner
  • Comment on 3 new blogs a week - I have been averaging 4 new blogs and commenting more

I started the month strong and was lacking towards the end and I know that had some impact. I am a little sad though on how low my visitors where. I realize I need to digg in and keep working hard to improve these numbers. So how am I going to work on improving the stats on my blog?

  • I am going to write longer posts with more frequency
  • I purchased 125×125 ads on winning the web and internet babel, and thomas sinfield
  • I have started a campaign with Project Wonderful to get my ad on more sites
  • Comment on more blogs
  • I am also debating purchasing a review from a blog (just not sure which one)

    Dude,

    How can you find the time to comment on three new blogs a week? I am having a hard time keeping up on the blogs that I like reading now, much less adding to them. I need your organizational abilities.

    namaste.

    I would not say I am organized. Its more of entrecard hunting and twitter. Its not as hard as you think once you get into a cycle.

    Thanks Thomas for the encouraging words. I am going to put more effort into content than marketing and see what I can do.

    Hey Bud,
    Those are some nice goals. Hopefully they motivate you to improve your site. I think the blog design looks great.

    As for buying a review, I suggest you get one on WTW soon if you planned on doing so. I will be doubling my rates and launching a HUGE contest next week. Stay tuned.

    Thanks John I am a little upset with myself for not reaching my goals but goals are a good thing to have. they keep you aligned with your goals and give you a way to check your progress.

    Hey Bud, not reaching goals for 1 month isn’t even a setback to reaching success. Keep up the great work, keep pushing yourself, and great things will happen!

    Best wishes Bud ;)
