Beginner Blogger

I saw a great post on Mike’s Life, SteitBlog and Lifenotion about setting goals for 2010. While I am more a month by month person and think that a year is way too long to set solid goals for I thought I’d chip in and do some goals for this Beginner Blogger site.

These are very rough figures but I would be over the moon if just some of these happened. I’m also sure some of these figures will be adjusted as the year goes on so they’re more realistic.

Beginner Blogger 2010 Goals

• Top 50,000 Alexa Ranking – (though it doesn’t really mean anything to me, just shows progression based on traffic)
• Page Rank 4+ (though it doesn’t really mean anything to me just shows progression in the eyes of google)
• 1000+ visits per day
• Launch several small quality ebooks to give away for free
• Launch 1-2 paid ebooks
• 300+ blog posts either on the blog or as guest posts elsewhere
• 2+ guest posts a month
• Complete Redesign
• Create SEO strategy (my current SEO traffic is awful)
• Create structured email course
• Launch a product/package that is not just an ebook
• 1500+ RSS subscribers
• 1000+ Email subscribers
• 500+ Facebook fans
• 10,000+ Twitter followers
• Perform online presentations
• Read 20+ quality books like Trust Agents
• Video interviews, more skype chats – get over the fear of the phone/voice conversations and be confident in that area
• Outsource someone as an experiment and gain experience working with someone
• Attend a blogging related conference
• Meet some of the amazing people I’ve met online in the ‘real world’
• Perhaps partner with someone
• Do something ground-breaking, never seen/done before in the blogging world. Think outside the box.
• Be a ‘construction worker’ and live up to my 3 words this year of Focus, Busy and Engage
• Be able to say at the end of the year I can continue doing this for 2011

As you know I’ve left my full time job to pursue a career online. So that last goal is so very much important to me. I love what I’ve been doing so far and I’d love to continue with it for many years to come. I want to gain all the experience I can get and most of all be able to successfully help you with your blogging problems.

So what are your goals? If you’ve made a similar 2010 goals post make sure you include it here with a link back to your site. I think it’s great to set goals so you can look back on later and see where you’ve come from.

Let’s all achieve our goals for 2010!
