Matt Blancarte dot Com Design – Business – Two Cents

Ah yes… conventions. They’re a massive congregation of people in the same industry that are interested in either expanding their personal or business horizons. I have only been to one convention that covered blogging, and that was Blog World Expo in Nov. 2007.

The whole UBD team went, and it was a great opportunity to meet a lot of folks in the blogging world and expose the UBD brand. We networked with a slew of elite bloggers, business owners and managers, and new clients. On top of that, we were able to listen to some great speakers and learn cutting edge techniques for success.

I have been trying to decide as to how high I should be setting goals for this month. I was fairly successful (I say “fairly” because I don’t consider squeaking by a great achievement) last month, and it has left me aspiring for bigger numbers and achievements. Here are September’s goals:

1. Write 25 Posts – Judging by my democracy poll, most of my readers appreciate frequent posting. 65% of you are posting 5+ days per week, with 42% of you posting 7+ days per week. What a revelation, huh? It’s no secret that consistent, quality posting is a pillar to successful blogging, so this leaves me with a clear goal of providing that to you.
2. Improve the content of my writing – I had some relatively good posts last month, and it definitely aided in strengthening my reader base.
