2008 will be better for you?

This is a good question if you are involved in blogging for over a year. Why? Because it’s time to review what really worked for you in 2007. It’s a good idea if you take one hour from your time and think about what you have realized this year, with your blog or in your niche and so you will be able to figure out if it is worthy to continue so or change something. Here are a few things you should consider thinking about if you want 2008 to be a better year for you!

First things first! How many readers did you manage to “lay hands on” this year? If you have the rss counter from feedburner activated for your blog you should go ahead and look at your statistics! If your number of readers has increased over the months with at least 10+ new fellows then you should continue writing in your niche, if not you should think about changing your topic. Another great way to know how many fan readers you have is to analyze how much direct traffic you had every month and compare the charts (use google analytics).

What did you do that you were really proud of in 2007? You managed to increase your traffic, your readers or simply you found the solution for the biggest dream of the year: how to make money online from blogging. If you have traffic you make money, if you make money you have traffic, it’s simple! Important is to increase your earnings in 2008, actually double it and in the same time provide to your readers quality content because in the end they are your “customers” and you don’t want to lose them.
If you have no results you should think about what do you really know to write well and start another blog. It’s very simple, just erase all your memories about your ex-blog and start all over again because if you continue writing and you don’t see any results, God knows what you’ll do, just don’t quit blogging!

Another great thing is to imagine yourself a year from now with your blog. Just imagine that you will be making a living from blogging and you will be a leader in your niche, an example for other bloggers. This will help your moral, you will be more confident in your own powers. You can also write on a piece of paper some objectives you want to fulfill and the next year just see what you have achieved. It’s simple!

Now I don’t want to say that I am an example of a good blogger because I am not. This year on this blog I didn’t manage to post every day or monetize it, because I had other projects. I am happy that I learned some new things, monetized some sites (not blogs) and created some free wordpress themes that brought me some back links. The thing is that I am seeing a big increase in everything I do and I will continue to do it as best as possible.
