New Year’s Resolutions 2010

A few days ago I wrote a round up of what I have achieved so far since starting this blog in June.

It’s been a tough year overall in so much that I have had to literally restart my business from scratch, having made a full-time living online since 2006.

I don’t want to dwell on the reasons for having to start over in this post because you can read my story here if you want to find out more about me.

However, even though starting again was scary and this year I have not enjoyed the same income as I did a couple of year ago, I can see that progress has been made and I feel I am in a strong position where I can go all out in 2010.

I am not usually one for thinking “New Year, New Start” etc. but January 1 will signal exactly that for me, so without further ado, here are my New Year’s Resolutions – or goals if you will – I want to achieve (or preferably exceed) in 2010:

Early 2010 Business Goals

• Redevelop this blog so it is more “opt in” friendly to increase subscribers
• Network like crazy in January (Las Vegas, anyone?)
• Launch the Membership Website I have been talking about / putting off for the last few months

Business Goals to Achieve By End of 2010

• Consistently earn $20,000 per month (I first mentioned this figure in July) from all promotions
• Consistently have 250 paying customers at my membership site
• Build my subscriber base from the 2,500 it stands at today to over 20,000
• Get my Alex ranking for my blog to below 75,000 (currently stands at just below 150,000)
• Rank more prominently in Google for my own name and other search terms
• Write at least two blog posts per week for my blog
• Promote at least one major product launch per month

Branding Goals to Achieve By End of 2010

• Write at least two guest posts per month for other people’s blogs
• Collaborate on at least one project/product with another marketer each month
• Attend a seminar/networking event in each quarter of the year
• Attract over 1,000 fans to my Facebook page

Personal Goals to Achieve By End of 2010

• Finish decorating / sorting out the house (Think I’ll need to get someone in for this one!)
• Finish my home office – sporting memorabilia is STILL not up on my wall…
• Go to the gym at least twice a week
• Lose at least one stone in weight (or excess flab to be more specific)
• Have better time management and be a lot stricter with myself

Quite a lot of goals to achieve but none of them are impossible, especially if I begin 2010 in the same way in which I ended it. I will also add more to this list over the next few days as I think of them!

Ultimately, I want to first create a six figure business which then becomes a seven figure business.

One year may not be long enough for this to happen but it will be great to look back on this post in 12 months time and see how far I have come!

Now, it’s over to you.

Let me know what your resolutions / goals are for 2010 and perhaps I can help you out. One of my goals is to collaborate more with other marketers so let’s get the ideas flowing!
