As 2008 draws to a close, I reflect on what my goals are for 2009. I can't really look on 2008's goals and see how I did, because I didn't set IM-related goals for myself.

In 2009 I will:

1. Rewrite and repackage a software tool I wrote, and make it available on clickbank.

2. Put 1 product a week on clickbank, so that at the end of 2009, I have 52 info products online, for sale and making me money.

3. Have met the following interim goals...

My first 5 products have been chosen, and I'm in the process of reworking the PLR ebooks. They're good content, but the formatting drives me nuts (I'm a former report developer, so I'm a bit anal about the layout, etc.)

In the meantime, I'm also trying to build a base of review-style sites for several niches, with the hope that I can get some affiliate sales in the shorter term, while the coaching program is in progress.

To that end, I purchased Steven Wagenheim's Niche Research Revolution products. The idea is for me to be able to skip the niche research portion (that always...

Because I am easily distracted from one thing to the next, I have many websites that I've done barely any promotion on. It's a shame, because some of them have decent potential to make at least a little income.

One of my goals over the next 3 months, as I work to building a full-time income online, is to go through all these sites, and work on each of them. Not on redesigns (as I've done in the past), and not even on rewriting the PLR content. Here's what I'm going to do:
