June Goals 2010

by Deneil Merritt on June 2, 2010


I have more goals than I could fit in the May income report. So this post will be all about my goals for this month. Income may or may not drop well below my average monthly income. Due to my focus on goals for this month. I am calling this month “Content June” since I will be focusing on updating this blog, my poker blog, and my poker news site as well as adding more articles to my big project. Let’s get into the goals for this month.

Goal #1 – The poker news site. I will be adding news articles daily. Most days I will be writing the content and other days I will be buying the content. Depending on the topic. I will also be buying reviews of poker rooms and gambling sites to add to the site. Also, I will be adding sections about games, game rules, and poker commercials.

Summary – minimum of 50 articles added

Goal #2 – The poker blog. I will be doing a bankroll challenge and update the blog each day that I play poker. Go over what went well, what went bad, what I learn from it, and where my bankroll stand.

Summary – minimum of 10 articles added

Goal #3 – The limit holdem site. I will be adding more strategy articles. Once I add 3 or 5 more articles I will add a recent strategy articles section to the homepage. I also will be running tournaments on poker rooms on the weekends as well as run a few members only tournaments for a poker forum I sponsor. Tournaments are focus to sign up players and get subscribers to the mailing list.

Summary – minimum 5 new articles and 10 tournaments

Goal #4 – This blog. I will be updating my process to let everyone know what I have gotten done , whats to come, and how I feel about everything. I will also try to add suggestions for those of you running websites.

Summary – minimum of 3 process articles and ill try to add other articles.

This month I guess I am jumping back into blogging full focus being that I will be updating 2 blogs and 2 websites. As you can see, this month is all about content, gaining readers, subscribers, and signing up players. So I am pretty sure income may drop. Depends on if I can find advertisers. I have 2 slots on a site that just opened up and I will be looking to fill those spots so I should make the $400 average from direct ads. If I do fill the slots, I will still be $400 short from my average of $800 a month. Push comes to shove I will have to sell content or something. Which I really hate doing. We will just have to wait and see.

What are your goals for the June?

Good goals! I have fallen off the bandwagon the past few months. You know, life happens and I just didn’t back to blogging. Wrote my first real post for the first time in over a month last night and it felt sooo good! Adsense revenue was under $1 per month and in February I started getting consistently in the mid-teens with not even working on it – definitely motivation to get back and work very hard.

Good to see you back to blogging though. With more content, I am sure your adsense income will grow.

I’m really going to be interested in #2, following along with you and your poker bankroll. Of course, this also means you’d best start out ahead. :-)
