Welcome to 2008

A new year brings new thoughts and resolutions and the belief that "this year will be different". Well this year, I intend that to be the case.

There are a couple of client projects that need to be signed off/completed, but beyond that, I'm intending to entriely self-finance for the year, with minimal client based work. I have a number of strands to this strategy:

Affilliate income
Domain name sales
Lead generation
Home Information Packs

I am already active in each area, but this year plan to make them my sole source of income. For some I will need to just do more of what am I already doing (affiliate sites, lead gen); for others I need to actively promote them (selling domain names instead of just buying!). Domain names especially, is still a goldmine in the .co.uk space. There is still time to register decent generic names before the big American buyers start to get the bug. Prices will rise and rise here before the end of 2008.

I also plan to update this blog a bit more often!

My first jobs however are to mark up my annual affiliate plan so I know what product offers I should be working on and when (ie. Valentines Day offers right now!), get the 2 existing projects done and dusted, and research some areas so I can create some original content.

Add a target for this year: Lean INTO problems, not away from them. Live the problem, breath the problem, solve the problem. Courtesy of Seth Godin.

Happy new year!
