This is one of the standard end of the year blog posts where I reflect on the year and set new goals on the year to come. 2011 wasn’t really the best year for me. I tried to cut down on ghostwriting in order to increase my IM interests, but that required me to write for clients even more. I bounced around between too many internet marketing ideas, including PLR, niche sites, Kindle publishing, and product creation.
The result? Too much planning/decision making and not enough action.
So, for 2012, I plan to structure my business differently. I have decided to put all ideas of building niche sites on the back burner. Sure, they are a lucrative business in themselves if you choose the right niches and keywords. However, I just don’t have time to focus on them right now. This will be a future idea when I have other income streams already in place and successful.
My biggest business plan for 2012 is focusing on my PLR store. I have seen success with it, but the problem is, I cannot continue the success because I’m too busy trying to also be successful with other areas. So, making this my main priority is the number 1 goal I have for the new year. I plan to release lots of new packs (may have a monthly goal on how many). I also have a PLR membership site in the works.
I also plan to network with more PLR sellers. It’s nice that you can be friendly with your competition in this type of business, because there is simply no way you can satisfy your entire market. There are way too many niche topics out there that need quality PLR content written. So, I know that networking and promoting each other is a great way to further increase my income. Also, it may bring about partnerships or joint ventures on future projects.
As I continue in my IM journey, I also want to document it more often using this blog. This website has previously been more of a freelance writing portfolio, but as I am making the shift to passive income, I decided to run this site primarily as an internet marketing blog now. Along with my progress, I will also be sharing tips and advice on what has worked for me in the past.
So, to highlight my goals:
- Focus on my PLR site, build it up to a $4000+ monthly income
- Launch a PLR membership site
- Network with other PLR sellers
- Nurture my relationship with my PLR list
- Launch at least one PLR-related WSO every 2 months
- Update this blog more frequently (at least once per week)
What about you? What are your goals for 2012?
Hi Kecia,
I love your 2012 goals. They are actionable so you will see results as long as you follow through! I know how hard it can be to transition from having clients to a more IM related income…it’s hard BUT selling PLR can be done part time as you grow it. So that’s good. Best wishes for a very awesome 2012!
