    Have a great 2009 Darren! I really enjoyed the “How I’d promote my blog if I were starting out again”, and the related posts on specific methods of getting visitors. It’s funny that the methods of promotion are out there, but few people actually seem to take advantage and just DO them, then they wonder why their blogs/websites aren’t getting the traffic they want. I think people are secretly looking for a “magic traffic button” =)
    Anyway, enjoy your New Years everyone!

    Hi Darren,

    I just opened up all those links in new tabs. I’ve read them already in the past, but will print the ones that I need to pay a lot of attention to.

    I’m stepping up my blog to go the distance and break out of the mediocrity pool. I finally got a PR4 and that’s just the push I need to get me going and see what I can do….

    One problem…

    What to focus on?

    I have many things I’m passionate about – many. I could pick 6 topics that would go along well with what I’ve already written at Aim for Awesome. Now I need to pick a niche – a focus for the blog. Steve Pavlina uses “PD for smart people.” that’s wide open… can I be THAT wide open or has that door closed?

    Darren?

    Would you have any interest in using Aim for Awesome as a public case study for how to make it to the next level as a blogger?

    I have a decent base of articles – 128 articles. I write prolifically and long-windedly at times – some articles are 6,000+ words. I have a whole lot of time to write as I blog full time from Thailand. I have a writing gig at gothailand.about.com that pays any bills.

    For 2009 would you consider helping a couple bloggers get out of the starting gate by going public and helping them (me and couple others) to get going forward enough to make a living at this?

    If not – believe me I understand. You’ve probably got a full year ahead of you all planned out.

    I just think maybe this could expand your blog – your persona to a different area.

    Just a thought – I’d love for you to consider -but really, no worries if it can’t be done!

    Thanks for an amazing year of help – much appreciated and I’ll continue catching your posts and twits in 2009.

    Have a great 2009 – topping even 2008!
