September Goals & Blog Contest Winners

This should be a very exciting month! In less than 10 days I will be headed to Florida for IzeaFest and nearly a week later I’ll be off to Las Vegas for BlogWorld. My personal goal for the month is to make at least 30 posts this month (if not more). I’ve only been averaging around 15-20 post per month… leaving many visitors with prior days new content. In addition to putting more effort on this blog, I’m going to try and go live with another blog or two this month. (One big one as a new hobby/case study… and see if I can setup a few others for individual offers)

If you have any ideas for new posts or for case studies, please feel free to leave a comment or send over an email. I also encourage you to follow me on twitter and subscribe to my newsletter.

In my recent “Affiliate Marketing & Blog Contests” post, I listed some of the current contest promotions going on across the web, and a chance for anyone commenting on the post to receive a free t-shirt. Three random comments were selected and the winners are: Trisha Lyn Fawver, Miguel Alvarez and Eva White. I’ll continue this same type of promotion again, but this time it will be awarded to the top 5 commenters for the month.

What are some of your goals for this September, and who will be able to make it to IzeaFest and BlogWorld this year?

  1. Great goal! 1 Post a day is perfect. Enough articles to where everyone can find something they like.

    A new post each day, the perfect reason to join your RSS feed.

  3. Web Freak says:

    Cool, enjoy the travelling :D

  4. Tyler Cruz says:

    Hope to meet up with you at BlogWorld.

  5. Samer Bazzi says:

    video and audio would be great, no writing to typing :)

  6. Nicole Price says:

    Best of luck with the goals you set yourself and have a great time.

  7. Wei Liang says:

    Do keep the quality content coming and hope you are not losing focus on your this blog with the upcoming 1-2 blogs that you are about to start.

  8. SEO Tricks says:

    Great, Best of luck with your goals

  9. A post a day seems fair enough. Well good luck to you on that.

  10. Sire says:

    Let me see, a post a day seems reasonable if you only have one blog to maintain. Perhaps that is where I have gone wrong, in trying to maintain 7 blogs. Good luck on your trip.

    • Quitting The Day Job says:

      Yeah, I have 3 going right now, and between designing the third one, and writing for the other 2, I have ZERO time. I have no idea how people do it.

  11. Quitting The Day Job says:

    Post a day is nice, but I find it hard to do on the weekends (unless I write during the week and post-date it).

    I don't think every post has to be award winning, but 5 decent posts a week is good enough for me to come back.

  12. Tim Jones says:

    Hey Zac,

    Good luck with the new post goals. You inspired me to be more focused on consistent posting. I look forward to more quality stuff from you and seeing you at IZEAFest and BWE.

  13. Zak Show says:

    It's very good to setup goals and like you said and as I noticed, it will be an exciting month for you, Good Luck!

  14. Eva White says:

    Hey I won! Thanks…

  15. Otooo says:

    I'd love to be able to make 1 post a day – but life is just so darn hectic.

    Anyway, it'll be good if u do manage to get one a day done, and continue the comps

  16. Symbian says:

    Good luck with new blogs!

  17. Ghaus says:

    How much did you earn in August ? You haven't written the report yet

  18. Polly says:

    Great goal Zac! Need self discipline. But I know you can do it.

  19. Tim Jones says:

    I noticed you did two, yesterday. Trying to build up a buffer for the weekend, huh? :) Still good, quality stuff, though, Zac.

  20. Zak Show says:

    Congratulation to all winners :)

  21. Jay says:

    I remember there was one week where you didn't post anything and I saw people complaining like "it's been a week, where's the new post?!" lol.. but 30 is definitely doable.

    Jay

  22. Hi Zac,

    I'm TOTALLY behind on stuff and just saw this – I don't know how I missed it! Thanks for randomly picking me to get a free tee – please feel free to email me more info. Thanks & take care!
