Setting Yourself A Goal
When I first started Project Blogger, I didn’t have a plan of attack, nor did I even know what the primary focus of my blog would be. All I knew is that I wanted to start to make money online, but even then I didn’t know how I was going to do that.
I had been reading alot of blogs about all of these bloggers who had made a fortune doing exactly this, though they already had gone through the ups and downs, and they are already well on their way and are making a decent income each month. They don’t work 8 hours days, they don’t have to worry about finding the time or motivation to work on their blog. They are already established.
So then I came up with this bright idea to blog about how much money I don’t make. I thought it would be a good idea to blog about my ups and downs during my attempts at making money off the internet.
After doing this for the past few months, and dedicating more and more time to it, I think I needed to sit down and think about what exactly I want out of this blog and my other online ventures. At the moment I have this blog and NameSeek.
It is all good and well saying – “I want to blog about blogging and make as much money as I can in the meantime,” but all you ever do is sit down in front of the computer with empty thoughts in your head. You can say I want to make $XXX,XXX in X amount of time – but how?
Who is going to read your blog? Where will your audience come from? How are you going to earn revenue? How much do you want to make? What will you do after you make it? Where you will get your ads from?
There are so many factors that you need to look at, and you need to make the most of your time researching the hundreds of questions you have in your head. If you only have 2 hours a day to work, then you want to make sure you make the most of your time and make it as productive as possible.
When I first started I would just sit in front of the laptop, talk to my friends, read my e-mails, look up a few other blogs, sign up to a few networks and before I knew it, it was 3 hours later and time for bed. I didn’t sit down in front of the laptop knowing exactly what I wanted to do.
Now I have set myself some goals I am far more focused at reaching them. I know what I want out of this, and at the moment I am learning how to achieve it. I set myself time for writing, time for researching, time for e-mails and time for instant messenger. I sit down in front of my laptop knowing exactly what I need to do.
At the moment it is only in its early stages, so it is still alot of trial and error. I have read what works for other bloggers, but I need to know what works for me. I need to figure out what ads are best for my audience, what topics to blog about to get the most hits and what I need to do to keep my audience coming back.
