Is it time for IM Maturity?

I come here frequently when I'm soul searching in my own little IM world. I have to say thank you for the advice and ideas that come out of these discussions when I do take the time to post and read forums on these boards.

What I love about the Warrior Forums is that every time I get stuck or just want to celebrate a new victory, you guys are always here to share in these experiences as well as offer your advice.

I need to start coming here more often and giving back; who knows maybe I'll contribute to the private section of these forums. Regardless, here's what I want to talk with you all about today, and thanks again for reading it.

Is it time for IM Maturity?

I'm at the stage in my IM life where things are really starting to click. I have a business model that works and is bringing in great money. Basically, I create blogs focused on individual video games and then I sell products which help players beat/excel at the games. With each new game it's a lot of upfront work, but then I can outsource all of the upkeep and eventually not have to devote very much effort to the process.

But where do I go from here? I will have plenty of blogs making me money with this business model (and thousands of happy customers) so I'm not really sure how to improve further. The only thing I can think of is becoming more mature. What I mean by this is polishing my business model until it shines with professionalism.

Are you at this stage where you're making money and the only thing left to do is learn/improve upon business models that you have been successful with for a long time?

I can think of a few ideas that might help me become a more mature IMer, but maybe you could add to them and discuss.

1. A/B Email List Split Testing
2. Learn about and try new advertising programs
3. Improve upon affiliate programs
4. Explore new niches and duplicate my business model there
5. Network with more successful entrepreneurs
6. Use past successes to get on podcasts and news sites about blogging
