My Internet Goals for 2009. What Are Yours?


The goal… A beautiful photo by apesara

2009 just around the corner. Lists of people’s goals for this year have already started appearing around. Sadly, I made no goals for 2008 at the end of 2007, but I have made my internet goals for 2009, which I’m going to share with you.

My Internet Goals

Note that internet involves all things internet such as Twitter, blogging, social networking, and so on. Here are my internet goals:

  1. Have a Twitter network of at least 2000 followers (follow me on Twitter)
  2. Become highly active on at least ten social media sites (currently about 3)
  3. Have an RSS subscriber base of atleast 3000 readers, for this blog as well as for a new one(Listfied)
  4. Earn at least a $1000 of revenue per month (from both PBF and Listfied
  5. Have at least 500,000 page views per month, and at least 10,000 uniques per day [both Listfied and PBF].
  6. Have so many IM contacts that there are at least a hundred people online at any given time ;)

Just six, I guess.

Making Your Own Goals List

Have you made your own “goals for 2009″ list? If so, please do share it with us :)

Here are some tips:

Think it over

Sit down with pen and paper, and carefully think about what you want done. This is not something you should create right off the bat. This is what you’re going to be following for one whole yearso it should be well thought out.

Don’t be Afraid to Aim High

You shouldn’t be afraid to aim high. If you don’t aim high, how will you get there? If you aim high, you will find that the required encouragement, courage, and determination will come themselves, once you get to work on your goals. I had this teacher who gave me this timeless piece of advice:

If you aim that high, you’ll reach a point lower than that. If you want to reach 100%, you must aim for 120%.

So, even the craziest of goals can be fine, as long as they are fine for you :)

So, what are your internet goals for 2009?

    Your goals are realistic but #2 will prove dangerous. Believe me, it’s not so easy as seems. Because as a Social media enthusiast, I am part of almost all the websites. And yes, I am not a prolific user of most of the websites but am active on at least some 10-15 sites. Contemplate hard before making such a decision. You have you education to think about:)

    I think it’s always importent to write down your goals that you would want to achieve. Not only does it keep you motivated, but It’s a challange as well to see if you can achieve it.

    I think all the goals you wrote down can be achieved.

    Good luck.

    Many people look forward to the New Year for a new start on old habits. Mark Twain put it right : New Year’s Day… now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.

    Good luck.
