In short more visitors and users. The below goals and objectives are to meet those needs, quickly.
I had written the below last month. I'll review and revise it to meet our Q1/07 goals:
1> After a lot of testing, and getting things to work, bit by bit, I am very confident of 2007.
UPDATE: Most of the above work is following the implementation of proven software and new equipment. I should also mention that the correct staff also greatly helps.
2> The main objective is to "ramp up the traffic" with two contests and the tools.
UPDATE: The tools are growing and working as envisioned. Now I need to make the rules for the contests and get that going. I think this is the only item that has not been fully implemented.
3> Over the past years I've established several places to advertise. I'll use them to find new representatives and grow the network.
UPDATE: Most of the advertising will be done by email --ezines and mailing lists will do the work. I'll also rely on several newspapers and network marketing web sites, looking for a few good people to work with.
4> More and more enhancement to the Investment Area --Venture Capital Area.
UPDATE: This is pretty much done and the monthly picks will continue, I hope for many years.
5> Daily mailings for two lists: Investment and Business Opportunities.
UPDATE: I need to do these on a consistent basis. I don't see that happening until mid or late January as the content needed for those mailings are not 100% there. I am working on it...
6> Releasing VERSION 3.0 and 4.0 --Version 3.0 of all the tools and services are under way. I hope that by the end of the year, VERSION 4.0 will be done.
UPDATE: Testing is underway to find an outside programming team to aide our in-house staff. That will take some time, but I am sure at least version 3.0 will be out later in the year.
7> 1,000,000; 100,000; 10,000, 1,000: 1M Subscribers, 100,000 Members and 10,000 Reps., with at least 1,000 Reps putting our ad material on their web sites.
UPDATE: I also made a chart that now sits on my desk where I predict that this site will average 10,000 visitors a day by the end of the year. I will stick to that. In fact, I'll now print this page as I need to track what I've said and see what percentage of that comes true.
Interesting... I even forgot that I wrote the below:
I'll now make a copy of this list, and put it in place for about the first week of Jan. 2007. I want to look over this again to make sure that I've covered all that needs to be covered.
Well, then a lot of things got done, and now the promotional, marketing and building that I need to do are well underway.
One of the barometers of what is ahead is the way that traffic is growing to the network. Just taking this site into consideration, things are growing rapidly.
I want to now explore an interesting observation about surfers --the kind that ride the waves. It's interesting observing a surfer as they swim with a surfboard out to see. Then they turn around and start to swim back to shore. As the wave builds behind them, they start to swim faster. And faster. Then they catch the wave and perform a "perfect" balancing act to keep on top of the wave.
I am now swimming faster and faster. The momentum, the wave is picking up. Most of my work is ahead of me. Most of my enjoyment (riding on top of the wave) is very much ahead of me. I look forward to each day. Indeed, CARPE DIEM.
Sam.
