Entries from January 2008 ↓

I’m happy to say that our article directory script is 90% ready and its mostly the site admin stuff left to do. Therefore, we are launching the client side today, located at http://www.xenyo.com/articles/ .

I expect there to be a few bits and pieces missing for a couple of weeks as we work to perfect it for the product Launch.

Affiliate marketing wise things have really improved and have already broken my 2008 target. The majority is through PPC affiliate marketing and I really need time to scale things up more and fine-tune.

Time being the keyword here as we are also about to launch an upgrade to one of our existing projects. Its all good I suppose as things are getting crossed off in my to-do lists.

Take care, I need to go do more research on what products to promote on our first proper PPC affiliate marketing project.

Happy New Year everyone!

As you know, i am a firm believer of setting targets so this post will be about our targets for the new year. We’ll break it down to 2 sections, first regarding my general targets and then the second part about targets for some of our projects.

Matt’s targets
1. By First Quarter - Finish off or drastically reducing time spent on consulting and freelance work and focus on our projects.
2. By First Quarter - Double average 2007 monthly income. This will be tight but hopefully will see progress by March.
3. Spend more time looking into affiliate marketing - Depending on no.1., hoping to break into 4 figure monthly income on affiliate marketing by April or thereabouts.
4. Start steady membership subscription income on IRateThis by first half.

Projects targets
Xenyo - Articles launch in January along with Article Directory script in BETA. CMS script BETA launch by end of first quarter.
CheckSaveBuy - Finish first phase development by first quarter along with steady monthly income.
IRateThis - Site upgrade to be released in January 2008 and continued growth in first half 2008.
ArticleGOLD - First Quarter target is to continue working on making everyday administration hands off for myself. First half target for the directory will be to brand it as one of the top 3 article directories.

Not setting any firm targets on our other stuff as I think we are over-stretching our team with the above already but if anything comes up, maybe we’ll need to increase our team or get some freelance help in.
