I plan to find as many avenues as I can to promote the world of blooging.
I have a good start already with various Blogging Networks.
As a matter of fact, Darren’s Digital Photography Blog has been nominated as one of a select few for our 1st Annual Best Photography Blog Awards.
There are 2 categories:
Photo Showcase and Equipment Reviews.
Vote for one in each category!

Thanks Darren.

You have done a lot of good with this site for 2005. For 2005, your site’s incredible content made me a couple of thousand dollars.

I know thats not much in a years time, but now (using your advise) I may be able to quit my job in about another year depending on the growth of my blogs. One of my blogs grows exponentially every couple of months now.

So thanks for 2005. I tell everyone interested in blogs about your site. And I look forward to your Problogger content in 2006.

Being the impatient and headstrong person that I am, I’ve decided to drop out of the day job and enter the world of blogging full time. I am not expecting to get rich quick, but I am hoping to develop a fleet of sites and blogs that will eventually replace my income.

Okay, I know, it isn’t the most prudent thing I have ever done in my life, but it is my choice. Wish me luck.

Hi Darren,
my blogging goals for this year are:
1) posting regularly on my blog about Usenet http://usenetfeeds.blogspot.com
2) trying to start a new niche blog in my language (italian).
3) working hard in order to move these blogs into something serious and profitable (I know that this is a looong term goal!)

Bye.

Hey Darren,

Happy New Year, mate. New Year’s Eve in Melbourne was a bloody hot :-(

My blogging goals are slightly different: I’m actually going to blog less – I’m turning my blog into a once-a-week blog – it’s my own way to combat information overload and basically I’m turning my blog into a weekly column-type write-up (I’m looking more at it as building my name/rep).

I am focusing on my ePublishing empire (okay, HQs is my home office and start-up capital is only $15,000 but so far my feasbility testing on niche publications shows I’m on the right track – ie: end-of-year turnover target: $250,000) – obviously, the backbone of this will be a blog (best marketing tool … ever!)

Another resolution: (try) to stay out of any blog fights, bitching and general negativity that caused the blogosphere to become rather ugly in the later part of 2005.

My goals for 06 are to:

-Turn the blog I have just started (http://gentrysherrill.blogspot.com) into a $50 per day money maker by the end of the year, hopefully by continually posting engaging content and developing a regular reader base

-Start other blogs that have a more defined niche, and build interest and readership in them

-And to try to be a good person, of course

I think my blogging goals for 2006 are similar to everyones but my biggest goals are to write more often and increase reader comments.

Jakob — Sun, 01 Jan 2006 22:49:54 +0000

First of all I’d like to do the usual: More sports, get fit and a bunch of other things that you might as well read about at http://www.43things.com/person/gubbe .

On the blog side I’d really like 2006 to be the year where I post a review on http://jakob.thusgaard.com of a device which can do GSM, GPS, bluetooth, IR, GPRS and is a smartphone a la Qtek 8310.

I’d also like to split up the posts on http://china.thusgaard.com to reflect the individual days on our China cycling holiday back in 2005 and potentially make a blog for the diary about our France holiday in 2004…

Nuff to do !

1. To turn my horse training blog into a book
2. To make more blogger friends and contacts
3. To compel my readers to comment on my posts

Darren, there is something about your style of writing that makes people feel very comfortable to comment. I notice that more about your blog than any other blog I read.

My goal is to post to my blogs more often. I actually have a lot of ideas for posts in my head, but they don’t make it from my head to the blog. I think perfectionism gets in the way sometimes. My resolution is to “just post it”!

Increase traffic by 10% each month during 2006 by posting good stuff regularly.

Hope you don’t mind, I borrowed the Idea of a Resolution list and asked my readers to add theirs also.
So far I got 10% of the response you got (2).
Not bad for a Beginner.
If I can add to that Daily by 10% I should be OK by this time Next Year.

Happy New Year to All.

My goal was to make $300 day by Dec 15 2005 and I achieved it 1 week early, goals do work trust me. It’s keeps you focused toward the end result. For 2006 I want to make 500$ by Dec 15 2006, which Im sure can be done since I increased from 100$ day in Dec 15 2004 to $300 day Dec 2005. Also I was to create a blog and learn all the ins and out of the blog world. I make money using James Martell methods, it’s sort of the way Darren does it but not completely. I like the community feel of blogs, so my main focus is to make the shift and continue making another 200$ extra per day by the end of this year.

30 cents a day, $2 a day. Wow, actually pulling in some money. LOL.

My goals are to:

1) Start Some New Blogs and Niche Blogs.
2) Get into nichecraft with some new blogs.
3) Increase my visits to at least 1,000 per day.

Ooops. Hit the enter button at the wrong time. My plans, continued- Get a crop from the allotment for the gardening blog- http://www.spinneyhead.co.uk/Dig/ Build lots of models for the modelling blog- http://www.spinneyhead.co.uk/Scale Make some videos for the extreme sports blog- http://www.spinneyhead.co.uk/gravity/ And write a novel. I also want to get a lot more contributors for my global blog Spinneyworld. It's a lot of stuff to do whilst keeping up with all the relevant news and doing a day job, but I'd rather aim high.
