What are your Goals for 2011?

50 replies
Hello guys,

I like to start this by saying "it is imperative that each one of us discovers that we are capable of achieving more". When you reflect on your successes and failures of 2010, remember this, "The habit of not quitting is the Samese twin of the habit of not making excuses". To Succeed means to persevere through challenges that many people decide to quite while going through.

To put this into perpective: In affiliate marketing their are people that succeed. You've heard of them, they drive the Bentley, have 6-7 figure income (Financially Independent), work from home, take several vacations during the year, etc... Then there's the people that makes excuses why they haven't achieved it.

One of your goals for 2011 should be Never Quit, and don't make excuses for not succeeding. Persevere and your time will come. That's my two cents.

So what are your goals for the new year.

    To earn $10 per day via Adsense. Right now, I sometimes don't even get 1 click per day. To accomplish this goal, I want to write a blog post, sometimes two, every single day. I'd like to submit some articles to article directories to attract more traffic to my blog as well.

    This is most definitely a huge part of my goals for the New Year. My family and I have had a tough 2010, and in retrospect there was a lot more I could have done to help us out.

    Therefore, I would like to enter 2011 taking full responsibility and making no excuses, so I can make sure that I come out of every situation feeling as though I at least did all I can.

    I would like to go full-time with IM by the summer. Part of that goal also includes participating a bit more on the forums (not to distract myself, but to try to feel more a part of the community ), so I'm very happy that I'm already getting a bit of a head start!

      Hi,

      My online goals for the year 2011 :

      1. 5 new content-rich niche blogs with unique domains per month. By Year End, I should have at least 60 blogs to my name.

      2. Each blog should be earning me at least $600 per month after 3 months in the market.

      For Each New Blog
      - 1st month $100/month
      - 2nd month $300/month
      - 3rd month $600/month

      3. By year end, I would start earning $30,000 per month. That's $1k a day.
      Total Earnings for the year, would be $185,000.

      4. Cost Factors
      Every 2 months, I will add 2 ghostwriters. Each will write and create videos for 5 blogs. Every 3 days 1 article & 1 video per blog. Total 50 articles & 50 videos per writer per month.

      I will develop each new blog myself. This will help ghostwriters for content standard and flow. Kickstart em quickly.

      Other costs would include domain, hosting, PPC Ad as well as Royalty Free graphics, images and music. Factoring every costs will give me at the end of the year total cost of $102,750.

      5. A modest Net at the end of the year : $82,250

      Thats the goal, if everything goes as planned and no unexpected factors.
      Its best to be conservative by placing low earnings and high cost. I have started with the 2nd site : Fine Jewelry Stores Online.Not complete yet but will be in 36 hours.

      And here's one of the videos for the site :

          I will give priority to writers from among Warriors first and then from my other resources.

          For the moment, I'm writing the blogs myself to set the content directions, elements and standards. This will guide future writers on what I need for each niche. Original articles only and no PLR's. The same is expected from writers.

          As English is not my mother-tongue, my writings are not good enough. Native English writers will definitely improve my sites greatly.

          2 blogs done, 8 more to go before I start hiring writers.

          Now I'm already working on the 3rd blog. Should be LIVE by end of this week.

      To buy a house for my son, my mother and I in Florida by next year.

      That might be nearly impossible but I've entered some product creation contest online and I have some other ideas for simple products I want to create myself.

      I'm also going to launch my novel on Amazon this year (soon, maybe this month).

      I also have two online jobs. If I win one or two of the contest, get steady with my jobs and have a few products that do well I should be able to afford a decent house in a nice area with a decent school

    To actually follow through with my "to do" list. I have so many text files and spreadsheets that I'm always lost in the flood.. so, my only goal is to create a reasonable list, and get it done - one step at a time.

    (Oh, and to be more active on the board here.. been a member for nearly 6 years and have learned everything I know in IM from this place.. time to give back)

    Quit my job and start internet marketing full time. Also less time reading on here/guru blogs/other forums (although I've learned a GREAT deal of information from reading) and more time taking action. I'd like to become a lot more familiar with the PPC, and PPV spectrum of CPA and start making some good profits!

    I've been doing paid IM the last 4 months of 2010. It's been a big learning curve but I did manage to get a few profitable campaigns along the way.

    So for 2011 it's time to hit the ground running. I'm shooting for more, but my minimum goal is to reach $25k profit for the year.

    Good luck everyone. Stay focused, take action, test, and achieve your goals! Above all else don't quit!

    I want to make money on a passive income, rather than have to only work to get money. I never experimented with internet marketing and only started digging around the subject a few days ago. After about a year of trying freelance web work, I decided 2011 is the time to change things around for myself. I can use my past skills and knowledge of site building to help create a site and the information I learn on here to give me that money.

    My IM goal for 2011 is to get my feet wet, and by the end of the year be earning at least $750 a month from online activities.

    Right now I am at $0, but will be getting started very soon. One site is going up this month and hope to have 3 by march, each site's goal is to make a solid $50-$80 a month each.

    So far Warrior Forum has been like a treasure trove of information, it's like going into sugar shock for the brain. I am looking forward to the day when I have some insight to share with the rest of WF.

      That is not a goal. A goal is something achievable in a short span of time. Say.. in a few weeks, months or a year. So we call this as a short term goal. More than than that, up to 5 years, we call it long term goals.

      What you're saying is a Vision or dream. It will take some time. But why not. It's only a matter of time, planning and effort.

      And to achieve a vision or dream, we need to have the following attitude:
      1. Have the vision in front of us everyday.
      2. Plan for the vision
      3. Implement the plan
      4. Review and renew the plan
      5. Never dwell on failures
      6. Embedded Determination, Persistence & Perseverance

      I'm glad to know a person with a vision in here.

          My goals for 2011 are to get a pay rise with the current PPC position I have Im also looking to scale my own PPC campaigns in MSN and Adwords.

          In 2010 most my income came from social media which although good, its in my opinion nowhere near as targeted and sustainable as the PPC search engines, so I am moving away from it this year and going back old school with normal PPC.

          Got 1 campaign up already building a list in a non IM niche and its already going good so gonna just keep refining that.

          Advice I would give to anyone else for this year would be to do something I have started to realise through last year and thats forget chasing the quick bucks, in 2011 I am building real businesses and giving real value and in return the rewards will be much greater.

    No excuses
    Keep at it
    Just do it
    Focus and don't listen to nay sayers.

    Creat and launch my own product.
    Repeat the previous step and build a list of buyers.
    Keep that ball rolling and keep building momentum.

    An extra £12k for the year would see a nice deposit on a house.

      Why wink its entirely possible, just work out the plan and do it, how many products at 100 do you need to sell, what about 200, sit down with a spreadsheet and have some fun and then do the action steps required - which is where most people fall over (including myself, the worlds greatest procrastinator at times.)
