Well, today marks the 1 year anniversary of my first post on this blog. I started the blog with an intro post titled A Little About Me. I had been making money online about 8-9 months prior to my first blog post here. It’s fun to look back and see how far I’ve come in the last year….although at times I still feel like I’m in the same boat.

I only own one of my previous “Big Three” websites from a year ago. And that’s Fight Song Lyrics. This site still goes strong, earning me $3-10/day with 0 maintenance. A lot of sites have come and gone in the past year. Some good ones, some bad ones. Money has been made and money has been lost. But most importantly, I’ve learned a lot in the process.

One of the best things that has come out of this blog in the past year are the friendships I’ve developed through it. My blogroll has been virtually unchanged since this site launched on July 23rd 2006. My friends have been very loyal and helpful along the way.

In the past year I’ve made 277 posts (not bad considering I don’t post on weekends). And a total of 924 comments have been made on those posts. Also,I’ve gone from PR0 to PR2 to PR4 to PR5 and hopefully to PR6 on this next update. Ya PR doesn’t mean much, but I would like to sell some more featured links!
My goal for this blog in the next year is to increase traffic to 500 uniques/day. Have 500 RSS subscribers. And to make $500/month from it. I have a lot of work to do if I want to reach those goals. Best way to achieve them is to actually write content people want to read! Content that will help others in their journey.

So here’s to another solid year!

If I can increase my earnings this year by the same rate I did in the previous year… I’ll be blogging from my new yacht on July 23, 2008.
