New Blog, New Purpose, New Look
Posted by Sant Qiu in : News, Updates & General on October 9, 2007 , trackbackI think it’s important to start a new project with a clear purpose. You might have heard of the saying “Start with the end in mind”. That’s very good advice. Without having a clear ‘end’ or goal, it’s very easy to get distracted from your original path. It’s even easier to get distracted on the Internet. The Internet is the epitome of distraction. With the vast data available in the ‘information superhighway’ it’s easy to get lost.
Too many people who ventured into the Internet get sidetracked precisely because they didn’t start with a clear (long-term) goal in mind. So it’s very useful to write down your purpose for your blog and stick it in front of your computer, to remind you and prevent you from getting distracted.
I also encourage you write down mid-term and short-term goals to be achieved. The more specific the goals the better they are. However, don’t get too anal about it. I used to get too detailed and spent too much time trying to get the perfect goal that I got into ‘paralysis of analysis’.
So here are my goals for my blog:
-
To create awareness and build a brand.
-
To build a community for entrepreneurs.
-
To generate additional income from it.
-
To get ranked lower than 150,000 by Alexa by end of this month. (This is my immediate goal as I mentioned in my previous post. In the next post, I’ll be sharing more about what I’ve done since couple of days ago when I started my “Traffic Generation Challenge” to drive traffic to this blog.)
But before that, I’d like to share the new look of my blog. I’m in the process of revamping my main site here. To make sure that my blog fits the look and feel of the new site, it also received a make over.
On the left was how it looked previously. The new look is not totally done yet. There are minor adjustments still going on, but it’s almost there. Let me know how you like it.
Look out for my Traffic Generation Challenge series starting next post!
Cheers.
