Its been over a year since I’ve made a post. I’m probably not cut out for consistent blogging as I’m always too busy with trying out tons of new methods to make bank whether its online or offline.

I’m going to start blogging again at a very slow pace. I’m going to shoot for 1 blog post a month and see how that goes. I enjoy blogging its just I usually get behind and blah blah blah.

I’ve been doing a lot of stuff lately and I’m happy to say I met all of those 2008 goals I had.
-I’ve officially been a landlord for close to a year now and that’s going great. Have had to deal with 1 eviction but its still been a profitable learning experience. I’m looking for more properties at the moment so we will see how that goes.
-I’ve started going to Affiliate Conventions and doing a lot of networking. Lots of fun!
-I’ve also increased our office to accommodate 3 full time staff who work with me to create new sites, manage old ones, and maintain our ppc affiliate marketing ad campaigns.

One thing I need to work on is to stop trying to do everything and anything. I’m like a rabid dog when I get a new idea, putting in way too many hours to set it up to see if it will work.

Well with that said stay tuned for a “July Post”.

Ready for my 2008 new years goals? These are strictly concerning my online/offline business ventures and my financial well being, not my personal life.

1.) Make More Money
I’d like to increase revenue across the board on all fronts. I want to double my current monthly income and create more streams of passive income.

2.) Real Estate Investments
A lot of people talk the talk but they don’t walk the walk. I read everywhere about people saying how great it is to get into the real estate investing but they never do it. Is it just because they cant afford it? Or are they just being lazy? Either way I think its being a bit misleading. If you think its a great thing to do, have the means, and dont do it, it must not be that great after all huh? Enough ranting though, I’d like to pickup a nice condo rental property.

3.) Save those receipts!!
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please save those receipts. In 2007 I did not keep that great of a record as far as my business expenses go and I will be paying for it when it comes time to pay my taxes. I need to get all of my expenses/receipts in order at the end of each month and have them filed. (i probably should buy a filing cabinet for my office)

4.) Save more Money
It doesn’t matter how much money you make, if you blow it all. I’d like to start saving a larger % of my monthly income, more so than I do now. Being the self-employed bum that I am, I also need to get around to setting up a Roth IRA this year for my retirement.

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year!

I’ve decided to kick off the new year by blogging at least a few times a week. It helps me wind down after a long (or not so long) day of internet work. Hopefully throughout all of my ramblings someone will learn a new technique, join a new advertising company, or strike it rich. Its the least I can hope for. So please feel free to read and drop me a comment every now and then.

Onto some New Years resolutions. Its that time of the year where you should have already written down your resolutions/goals or at least have started thinking of them. Around this time I like to reflect on the past year financially and figure out where I would like to be this time next year. One year from now will I be relaxing on a beach? Still working hard on the internet? Be focused more on my offline ventures? Hopefully I will find time for all of those things and take my businesses to the next level.

I dont want to bore all of you just yet so I will just mention one of my goals for the new year and will post the rest tomorrow (once I finish writing them).

One of my goals will be to blog at least a few times a week right here on BankonThat.com, Id like to think of this blog as a written journal to help me gauge my progress.

While I head off and ponder the rest of my goals, all of you should be thinking of your own goals and please write them down! Dont keep them in the back of your mind where you are likely to lose them!
