Last year on August 5th, 2008, I post a ridiculous goal to make one million dollar net profit in one year. You heard it right. I said it out loud. I have to admit that I have no idea what I was talking about. I have no business sense what-so-ever. It was simply my imagination and ambition.
Of course, I did not make it. It's an failed mission due to poor reality check. So I failed. However, I have learned a million dollar lesson that will take me to my goal eventually! This may not be a fastlane plan, but it's happening quickly.
My goal is to become the local shopping destination and to out perform many billion dollar corporations in the local search marketing field. It relies on heavy SEO and SEM and to make it works.
The opportunities I am seeing are the demand of saving money and making money due to economy downturn. So there is a great chance for me to fulfill needs between local shoppers and local businesses.
To make it short! Here is where I am up to.
This is where I will be going.
That's for now!

To make it short! Here is where I am up to.
- I have many paid customers which I sold myself and from barter trade.
- Main keywords are on top of Google first page
- Secondary keywords brought in most of the traffic
- No huge traffic increase, but 80% are from search engines consistently.
- Making small amount of income on AdSense and increasing firmly
- Twitter and Facebook brought in most non-search engine traffic
- A secret weapon seems to be working and starts bring in minor traffic
This is where I will be going.
- Continue implementing social network integration and other features.
- Offering SEO and technology consulting in exchange article writing and marketing assistant
- Working on partner and alliance that can bring me fresh new paid accounts without doing that myself.
- Find right person to train and take over my SEO tasks
That's for now!
