Do you plan to let your blog flounder or flourish in 2008?
December 23rd, 2007
It’s the end of the year and everyone and their sister will be publishing their personal aspirations and goals for 2008. Well, of course, I am no different. However, I turned my goals and what I am planning for the New Year into a guest post over at NorthxEast because I thought it would get more readers (read: more exposure) over there.
If you would like to read the full post you can view it here: Good Bye 2007 - Blogging Goals for the New Year
For those of you that would like to cut through the content of the full NorthxEast post and get straight to the list, here are my online goals for the coming New Year:
- Set an editorial calendar based on my new MyTropicalEscape branding campaign which includes the following niche topics - | Living Overseas | Blogging | Inspiration and Motivation | Entrepreneurship
- Create a new look and feel to my site through an innovative theme
- Increase my reader base (maybe you would like to sign up for my RSS feed?)
- Set realistic financial goals (to reach $4,000 per month eventually)
- Seek and find a sponsor for my flagship interview series
How about you? What are your blogging, or personal goals for 2008?

Hi Mark, I wrote you back yesterday at NxE. I’m the guy doing the dog video podcast. I added a link where you could see an episode of my show until I get the site ready to go in Late January. When I went back the entire post was gone.
Anyway, I said how I have two shelter dogs of my own and here’s my link if you want to see a video.

Any feedback would be cool.

@Kenn - thanks for dropping by! I don’t have control of the NxE comments but Cameron must have thought it was spam…
Your video is great! We do a lot of work here with the Animal Welfare of Culebra:

I am just now putting the finishing touches on the website, but maybe you guys would like to help our group?

Mark, I’m not even sure where Culebra is! Indonesia? I’m from Jersey! Hahaha! If you or someone that has a HD camcorder could film some footage and do a few interviews about Culebra dog issues we could edit it together as a dog files episode. Would that help you?

As some one who is relatively new for running my own blog (Though, I’ve been reading a lot of other blogs for almost 3 years), I do not have set any proper goals as yet. May be, it’s the people like me, who should focus on setting goals the most. Cuz, there’s lot to be set as learning outcome goals.
How ever, I’m glad to find your blog, just few weeks before the New Year. Count me in, as one head for your reader base expansion goal :-)
All the best.

Thanks Ami! I look forward to increasing your reader base, as well.

Good luck with your goals, Mark! I’m sure you’ll achieve it given your tenacity and passion for blogging!
I’ve similiar goals for achieving steady growth for my site as well! It’s really exciting to see how things goes!
Cheers,
