Blogging Resolutions for 2008
A few days ago I wrote about how Ian’s Messy Desk had done in 2007. I learned a couple of lessons from last year’s approach to blogging:
- Narrowing the focus of my blog brought significant increase to my traffic and earnings.
- Having a plan is beneficial. I started 2007 with the decisions to take Ian’s Messy Desk in a more focussed direction. I then developed an editorial calendar outlining the topics I would cover on each day of posting. Having a plan removed much of the pressure of deciding what to post.
Having learned a couple of lessons doesn’t mean that I am doing everything I need, to continue to see improvements. What are my blogging resolutions for 2008?
- To spend more time participating in and contributing to the on-line community. While I interacted more with readers over this past year, I can still do a lot more in this regards. I want to comment more frequently on other blogs, respond in a more timely fashion to commenters on my blog and become more active in forums.
- To learn more about analytic tools and to put the information gleaned from these tools to use on my blog.
- To grow daily unique visitors by 50%.
- To reach monthly revenue of $1,000.00.
Now that I have some goals, it’s time to get started.

Excellent resolutions! I have similar goals myself – hence, I am participating in your community by commenting
Anyway, I really just wanted to say nice job on the new theme you’re using. It looks great. That was a pretty smooth transition. Though I miss your old header with the messy desk – that was so original!
Happy New Year!!
