Sharing My Game Plan For 2009

In my last post I talked about some of my goals for 2009.  At the suggestion of my friend Dennis Edell, I’m going to talk a little about how I plan to achieve them.

After all, what good is a goal without a plan to reach it?

So here is my game plan for 2009…

1. Increase revenue.  That’s pretty much everyone’s goal right?  I’ll keep plugging away on my mini-sites and also look to monetize this blog a bit which I haven’t done at all yet.

2. Increase readership of this blog.  Basically I’m going to keep posting solid content in the hopes that my audience will grow.  I’m also going to continue commenting on other blogs and networking to make friends and find readers.

I’m also working on a short report that will be available only to my email subscribers.  Maybe I’ll hold a short contest too.

3. Building up a new mini-site.  I’ve just started working on a nw niche that I think will be really profitable.  Its got tons of potential and I think it will be earning me a few hundred a month pretty quickly.  Just gotta move forward with it.

4. Lauching my first membership site.  I’m not quite ready to announce this one yet but I expect to have it all ironed out in the next couple of weeks.  Keep an eye out for it…it’s a must-have for article marketers/bum marketers, ppc marketers, etc.

5. Spending more time with my family is my ultimate goal.  The increased revenue I’l see from my efforts will let me work less and play more.  :)

    Hey Mike

    Sounds like you have a pretty solid game plan for 2009. Are you also on niche marketing? Is that what you are referring to as mini sites?

    Awesome,

    It seems that you are already working on goal 2 and doing well.

    As for goal #3, you can copy my blueprint.

    @Yan Yes, most of my income comes from niche websites/affiliate marketing.

    @Ben Well in addition to monetizing this blog a bit I’m hoping to have a couple new niche sites built over the course of the year, continue building traffic to my current sites, and launch a new membership site!

    “In my last post I talked about some of the goals I taliked about some of my goals for 2009.” I don’t think this makes sense Mike :) , Increase revenue is a goal all of us share and one i hope to achieve sooner rather than later.

    Good luck with your goals. Am also hoping to make my way toward some revenue this 2009, as I’m fairly new to the idea of making money online. Let’s see what happens. :)

    I think its hard to put increasing revenue and spending more time w/family at the same time as a goal. Maybe if you already started seeing cash then you can spend more time…

    Hello Mike, I should add your last goal to my list ^^,

    Well I would like to give you some tips to increase your readership mate! As you said, by doing solid comments you will attract the people’s attention.

    Doing a contest is such an amazing way to increase it, just assure to have some good prizes. To have them, just contact some companies, bloggers and people who can give something valuable to your readers.

    Also participating in forums, like digitalpoint forums are a good way to attract some subscribers.

    Well there are a lot of things that can help, if you have any question don’t hesitate to contact me, or send me a quick message on twitter @mrjavo.

    See you!

    I’m also working on increasing revenue. I’m also trying to get a couple more sites up and running. I might also work on a membership site, but I’m not fully sure on that one for me.
