What Are Your Internet Goals for this year? Group Writing Project

By Daniel 86 Comments Reading Time: 2 minutes

Last year we had a group writing project where I asked the readers to share their goals for the upcoming year, and it was a great success, so I will be repeating it this month.

Bloggingoals2008.Jpg

We all know the importance of having goals, both personally and professionally, right? Goals help organizations and individuals to focus their energy and to define priorities. Secondly, goals also allow us to evaluate our performance along the way.

Writing these goals down, on paper on your blog, therefore, is an excellent exercise to ensure that you will be running in the right direction.

How To Participate

In order to participate you simply need to write a post on your blog or website sharing your Internet goals for 2009. Once you are done writing that post, leave a comment below with the URL of your entry. Readers have until next Wednesday (December 17) to submit their post.

On the following Monday I will write a post with all the entries, including a brief summary and a link to original so that readers can check the blogs of the participants.

What Are Internet Goals?

Last year the writing project was focused on “blogging goals,” but this year I am extending it to “Internet goals.” Basically anything related to the Internet is valid. Here are some of examples of Internet related goals:

  • to reach 5,000 RSS subscribers on my blog
  • to reach 2,000 Twitter followers
  • to create 20 mini websites on different niches
  • to reach $10 per day of AdSense revenues
  • to launch my first eBook
  • to stop my addiction to social networks
  • to publish at least 100 videos on my YouTube account

You get the idea.

So what are you waiting for? Share with us your goals for 2009, and I am sure it will be an extra motivation to reach them.

    After having jumped from one `genius idea’ to another my goals are very humble, but within my grasp and doable.

    1.Aytemir.com: Transform from a `gapfiller’ and experimental/incoherent blog to the original intend: supporting blog about my one-man (web 2.0) startup Uppedd.com (and the other forthcoming one).

    Should also become interesting read for other with the same aspirations.

    2.Upped.com: The concept is clear nowin my head. In 2009 the site should go live/beta. And conquer the world in 2010. To achieve these goals I’m gonna follow my own advices.

    3.Another, but on a smaller scale and more humble, blog/project should also see the daylight in 2009.
    BTW, great initiave/post.

    I’ve been putting a lot of effort into my latest venture at the moment which is a group of sites related to mobile phones… The first of which is ‘phone-insurance.co.uk’ My goals (all be it very miniscule compared to some of the mamoth goals listed above!) include:

    1. Achieve Page Rank 1 or above
    2. Achieve 50 unique visitors per day
    3. Make my first affiliate commission on the site

    My next goal will be to complete phone-unlocking.co.uk and then to purchase two or three other domains in the same area.

    Of course I would love to hit 100 subscribers on my blog too! Its small time I know, ut as with everyone, you have to start somewhere!

    Daniel, I am done. My biggest dream for 2009 is to live on blogging just as you, though I never dream to earn as much money as you do.

    My post was written in Chinese, and I recommended my readers to participated in your project, so you maybe receive more entries in Chinese later. 🙂

    @Arun, I will post them on Monda. Also, for everyone else that left just a comment with their goals, notice that this is not enough to participate in the project.

    If you just want to leave the comment though that is fine.

    We’re pretty focused on one particular reader group but the main thing now is to get more advertisers.

    We have the clicks but we need to focus more on getting the right kind of ads on the site by going out and searching for them ourselves.

    Other things are

    1) Better use of Flickr groups
    2) Better use of Youtube
    3) Integrate with Facebook more
    4) User created content direct into the site

    Sorry, then that was a wrong notion by me based on the Q&A sessions.

    Extremely sorry once again if I became the cause of demotivation for anybody.

    Nofollow is just for link juice. I’ve read every comment here and clicked through to their blogs when they’ve linked to their blog post for this group writing project. Thats the value of participating in these projects, actual visitors!

    1. Reach 1,000,000 pageviews monthly.

    2. Have 20,000 RSS subscribers and 5,000 Twitter followers

    3. Make enough money through my blog to live from blogging full time, which is at least $2,000 per month.

    Hi Daniel

    What a great idea!

    Setting goals has always been a problem for me. Not sure if it’s normal to be like this, or a national (British) trait. Perhaps having been disapointed in the past, I’m loathe to even think about goals. But of late I have been prompted to put some down. So, for my blog readers and myself – and the project – here are my internet biz goals for 2009. (I also have this on my blog where the links can be found to whatever I mention below.)

    1. Very soon (ie by beginning of January 2009 – to achieve regular sales of $100 per day every day. (All sources.) By mid March $300-$500 per day.

    2. Finally get the niche thing sorted – I know how, but I never know /what/ to choose. (Help is on the way though.)

    2. Maintain two high quality blogs posting at least three times a week to both.

    3. Write and submit at least 2 of my own articles per day to two or more of the following – article directories (Goarticles, ezinearticles, affsphere), squidoo, hubpages, USfreeads etc.

    4. Every month from now – set up 2 review websites and 5-10 minisites in 5-10 niches.

    5. Set up full and complete autoresponder campaigns to go with the above sites.

    6. Together with the above to carry on studying and using the resources I already have to their fullest. (I find Wealthy Affiliate University to be about the best, but there are others such as BecomeABlogger, Affilorama and SEO Elite which I also find extremely useful all the time). I’ve learnt so much from all of these in the 3-4 months I’ve been internet bizzing. Your Daily Blog Tips is very new to me – and it’s excellent too.

    7. By mid 2009 – May/June -help my kids pay off their debts. Set up monetised blogs and websites for them, for example.

    8. By end 2009 – my husband no longer needs to go to work (unless he wants to).

    9. Long term – must be – to pay off the mortgage.

    Now, I’m off to get started making it happen!

    All the best to everyone.
