In my first Blogging Goals post, I set out to do some exciting things in January and achieve some substantial goals. However, since I am new to the monetization game, I wasn’t clear on the best goals to set. This post is a “course correct” to establish a few new goals that I am hungry for and to reinforce a few more I already had. I need to get going on the monetizing goals now since the month is almost out. I spent my time coding three new themes which was exciting but not profitable. Hopefully this one will work to bring the needed traffic to meet my financial blogging goals as we wrap up the month. Here’s a snippet of that original post to begin:

Goals for January, 2008:

Traffic

1. 1500 total hits.
2. Post one or more relevant, seo friendly posts per day.
3. Daily average of 80 hits

Money

1. Continue to learn and use Adsense and .
2. Write a post for Smorty.
3. Break $100 in earnings for January 2008.

Now, my course corrects:

Goals for January, 2008:

Traffic

1. 1500 total hits. (stays the same)
2. Post one or more relevant, seo friendly posts per day. (change this to per week at Cheese Enchiladas. This blog is now a “no rules” “free form” blog and the well thought out ones will be reserved for Cheese Enchiladas.)
3. Daily average of 80 hits (same)

Money

1. Continue to learn and use Adsense and .
2. Write a post for Smorty.
3. Break $100 in earnings for January 2008.
4. Select relevant advertisers on www.cj.com and track them on the sidebar of Postcards and header of Cheese Enchiladas.
