With the holiday right around the corner and the year coming to an end I think its time to take a look back and reflect on the things we did with our businesses in 2011.
It’s hard to think the year is already coming to an end. Time truly does fly by!
For me personally 2011 has been one of my best years.
Of course along the way I’ve hit bumps and not every site I created was a hit, but that’s what you come to expect when working online. As a true entrepreneur you must know that not everything you do will be a success, and learn to move on to your next great idea.
In 2011 I launched a number of new sites and ideas. Probably my best site being something I didn’t even plan on really taking off 1 Day Marketing.
Another site that picked up steam and helped me build a solid downline in a number of list builders was My Ad Sources. Again this was a quick site I created mainly to build my list, but as I found out it quickly did a good job of earning easy commissions.
This just goes to show you how good a viral eBook can really do. So if you’re thinking about creating an eBook do it! You never know what will happen.
One of my goals in 2011 was to take part in swaps. I joined Safe Swaps awhile back and have to say swapping ads helped my list grow a lot faster then it normally would have. I met a lot of great people, and found a ton of new places to advertise using solo ads.
Another goal of mine was to use my list to earn an income. I was never really one to send out offer after offer to my list. So I started sending more promotions to my list in 2011.
There is a fine line between how often you should and shouldn’t send out promotions to your list. I try to keep it about 60/40. This year was the most I ever used my list which sounds kind of strange, but I usually focused all my time on my sites and not my list, and I wanted that to change.
Now of course the year wasn’t great every day of the week 
I had plans to create another eBook since My Ad Sources was doing well, but my eBook to be EZ Traffic Formula never even made it on to the paper. I got tied up doing other things, and just never found the time to really create a nice eBook. So EZ Traffic Formula will now come out in 2012 sometime.
Another one of my sites that’s been on the back burning for quite sometime and I made it a goal of mine to finish was The Traffic Bum. I got the design done, but it ended there as I had some other things come up, and The Traffic Bum I knew would require more time then I had to really make it something special.
Finally and just recently our server crashed!
We lost some data at Smart Safelist, and unfortunately I completely lost EZ Ad Site which was an older site, but I couldn’t save it so my plans are to maybe bring it back as something new in 2012.
So how was your 2011?
