What I Wish to Achieve with DailyApps in 2009
photo credit: aloshbennett
As the year 2008 comes to a close, I’ve learnt a lot and keeping all that in mind, here’s what I wish to achieve with DailyApps in 2009.. I did write something similar outlining my goals for 2008, but to be honest I’ve failed myself..
Here’s what I had wished last year and didn’t quite achieve it this year.. I hope to achieve it this year atleast..
- Reach 7500 RSS subscribers (currently at 1300+)
Didn’t manage to achieve that.. Currently at nearly 3000 subscribers - Average 30,000 daily page views (currently at 10,000)
Around 20,000 at the moment, so didn’t achieve this as well. - Generate $2,000 in monthly revenues (currently at $0).
Achieved it earlier in the year, but didn’t quite manage to keep it consistent - Increase the posting frequency to 3-4 posts a day (currently at 1-2 posts a day)
The mother of all problems, I simply haven’t been able to post much on DailyApps this year - Enter the Alexa Top 20,000 (currently at 45,000+)
Alexa changed their methods half way through the year, so this doesn’t count. - Increase the average comments per post to 15 (currently at 5)
Something that I’ve managed to achieve this year.. I am happy
- Enter the Technorati Top 1000 (Currently in Top 5K)
Never made it, fell backwards instead
- To be a widely cited tech blog in the blogosphere
Yes I did manage to achieve that, when I was blogging regularly.. - Get a professional blog design from Chris Pearson
Chris doesn’t do blog designs anymore, so I might use his premium theme
sometime.. - To develop a strong and vibrant community around dailyApps.
I’m proud of the community around DailyApps.. You guys have been amazing..
DailyApps is over an year old now, and its been a journey of a lifetime for me.. As I have outlined in the last post I wrote, life has taken dramatic turns this year, and I simply haven’t been able keep up with all the pressure and work..
2008 will be the year, when things began on a high for me both professionally and personally.. Somehow midway through the year, life got worse.. Don’t ask me why? Things are falling back into place now, and I am sure 2009 will be the year when I turn things back around for the better.
So for the coming year 2009 there are no goals as such.. I just want to achieve all that I haven’t been able to in 2008.. There’s no point in writing a new set of goals when I haven’t much of previous goals.
So 2009 will be the year when I’ll achieve what I planned for 2008.. Wish me luck guys.. I promise regular posting will resume on Jan 1st 2009 and the blog will get new and useful content on a daily basis..
Thanks to all you guys for sticking around, and trusting me.. I’ve been through the worst this year, now its time to turn things over and make way for the best things to happen.. DailyApps becomes DailyApps in 2009, and I hope it stays that way forever..
If you guys have any ideas, or suggestions as to what you want me to write about in 2009, please let me know. Many thanks to Daniel Scocco for inspiring me to list out my goals for 2009.
Till then, Happy holidays to everyone, and a Happy New Year 2009 in advance

Hey,
Check out the new site that just launched called Appboy. It's an app site with a more social approach. People can comment, vote and share apps. Developers can promote their apps with their own viral url which becomes their personal appstore, and users can submit ideas which the community votes on to get developed or not. Its cool site, got a great review here http://bit.ly/10ct7D. If your a developer you can add any app to the site in seconds, its been creating a lot of buzz http://www.appboy.com.
Learn how it works here: http://appboy.com/how-it-works/
EPIC FAIL
Dear Karthik,
Syndication and Team work is the name of the game
I might sound moronic but get some people on board and if you need help just ask for it you might get it doing things alone.
if you are based in mumbai id like to meet you sometime coz theres lots to learn from you
best of luck
good luck :)
Good Luck. This is a great blog. I hope u achieve all ur targets for 2009.
easily done. Just hook up with popurls, icerocket, or alltop. This site is too good not to be in the top 20.
All the best.... U can do it...
