Review of week 37 - 38 (11 Sep - 24 Sep)

In the face of success one can get overjoyed and did nothing, much to the detriment of the bigger success.

This was exactly what’s happening to me.

I’ thrilled to announce another month of beating target. Yet at the same time, this is a month that I had done the least. Personal work not withstanding, I had actually slacked in terms of updating my blogs, such as this.

Over the last 2 months I had stopped launching new sites as initally planned. (The original plan was to launch a new site every 2 weeks.)

Plans to build upon the existing sites were developed but never executed.

Just to recap, my goal was to achieve $1000 online revenue by end of 2006. This months revenue was $375. Based on extrapolation, the target ahead of me are

  • Oct: $520
  • Nov: $721
  • Dec: $1000

Review of week 31 - 32 (31 Jul - 13 Aug) & 33 - 34 (14 Aug - 27 Aug)

When you don’t see much activity on a site it can mean either one of two things - 1. the owner had given up; or 2. the owner had been busy with other (more important) things.

In the case of Seeking Revenue, you can be sure that this owner had not given up. And yes I was busy with other things. Things outside of the online world - work and life in general.

Still August is a great month. Revenue for August grew by 61% better than the 49% target last month. As a result the average growth rate has eased to 45% until the end of year. Of course I will still be pushing as hard as possible.

Traffic is a mixed bag. Not much improvement for most. I am going to do more submission and directories to see if that helps.

Review of week 29 - 30 (17 Jul - 30 Jul)

No site lanuched in the last 2 weeks. The focus had been on increasing the performance of existing sites.

Result are mixed. Overall however, July is positive.

Revenue for July. Revenue grew by 40% in July. Doing a goal seek in OpenOffice Calc, I work out that the average revenue growth rate until the end of year must be 49% to reach my goal.

In terms of Adsense, revenue grew by 83% more than the 59% target set last month.

Looks like things are on target!

Traffic. No major improvement in traffic. How do I improve traffic? This will be my focus this month.
