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 :)

dailyApps has grown at a rate in its first 5 months, that I could have only dreamt of. With the year 2007 coming to a close, I have decided to set some goals for myself and dailyApps for the coming year 2008. dailyApps started just a little under 5 months ago with just one aim, and that was to make softwares, and technology easier for the average user. I had some plans, and luckily they worked well for me. With the year coming to close, here are some of the goals I wish to achieve by the end of 2008.

  • Reach 7500 RSS subscribers (currently at 1300+)
  • Average 30,000 daily page views (currently at 10,000)
  • Generate $2,000 in monthly revenues (currently at $0).
  • Increase the posting frequency to 3-4 posts a day (currently at 1-2 posts a day) 
  • Enter the Alexa Top 20,000 (currently at 45,000+)
  • Increase the average comments per post to 15 (currently at 5)
  • Enter the Technorati Top 1000 (Currently in Top 5K)
  • To be a widely cited tech blog in the blogosphere
  • Get a professional blog design from Chris Pearson
  • To develop a strong and vibrant community around dailyApps.

Highlighting the goals for 2008, gives me extra motivation to work harder and help this blog grow. I hope to be able to realize the goals I’ve set for myself in the coming year. Finally, a big thank you for all the readers and supporters of this blog. I hope to see you guys around in 2008, and I am pretty sure that you will all achieve your goals in 2008 as well! All the best guys!

Well, thanks to Daniel from DailyBlogTips for inspiring me to list out my goals for 2008.
