August Goals
July seemed to fly by quite fast…actually 2009 is zooming by for me. I did pretty good last month, though I didn’t stick to my goals much. I don’t know if setting an income goal is beneficial to me. I see this number and every week that I do not reach it, it makes me a little less excited about freelance writing. I’m thinking maybe I should just make goals of the things I want to accomplish, not necessarily the dollar amount I hope to make.
Last month, I did some keyword research for eHow articles, so I have titles ready. The articles just need to be written, which I plan to do this month. After I’ve completed them, I’ll do more research so that I will have more to write for September.
This month, I’m also going to be working on a personal project regarding the creation of an ebook. I am currently reading Tiffany Dow’s “Building an eBook Empire” and I feel it will really help me as far as passive income goes. Having your own products on the Internet is much more beneficial than just throwing up articles on eHow and other residual income sites.
So, this month’s goals like like this:
-Write 20 articles a week for Demand Studios.
-Write a total of 20 articles for eHow.
-Write 3 posts each week for this blog, which will include goal updates and the book reviews I’ve been meaning to get up on here.
-Finish reading Tiffany Dow’s book, choose a niche, and begin doing research (keywords, demand, needs, etc.).
What are your goals for August?

Those look like terrific goals! Which of Tiffany’s books are you reading? She is excellent and is a great mentor for web writers.

I am reading her “Building an ebook empire” ebook, and I agree, she really knows her stuff. I have also been following along with her 30 day hiatus from her work so she can concentrate on losing weight and reinventing her business. Very motivational!

Goals! I have a strange relationship with them too. I work full time and write “on the side” and my goals are always changing.
I love your goals for August. Sometimes monetary goals are just to unmotivating.
I may need to look at some of Tiffany’s work too!
