DISQUS

You've set the bar high - but then that's a good thing! Expect a lot, get a lot!
Promote it I will! And I wish I was rich - and I'd add money to the pot too ! Aside from that - anything I can do I will - and I know there are just a huge crowd of us willing to do the same!

more folks, invite ya friends and we'll for sure make the top 3.
Thanks for ya support. It's gonna be fun!

If I had any idea as to what is reasonable regarding traffic, I would answer if you are being too aggressive or not. I say shoot high, then if you fall short, you are most likely beyond your "more reasonable" goals anyway.

By the way, Blog Nosh Magazine is in its third week and we are already changing our plan. As in, I just posted about it today and did so transparently for our audience. Roll with it, baby.

I swear, the more flexible, the more transparent, the more willing to fly by the seat of our pants, the better.

Flexibility is key Velveteen! Be like stretchman! It always helps.

I'm thinking of a saying (I'll probably screw it up), but it goes something like this: "Shoot for the moon, because even if you miss, you'll be among the stars."

Stretch goals are good. It's important to celebrate milestones along the way too ;-)

I'm wondering if maybe along with 5 things you want to do, you should have a list of goals NOT to accomplish. What's happened to a lot of sites like this one has been that either Admin has severely screwed something up and alienated users, or they've dropped out of sight, leaving the users hanging with no explanation or indication if the disappearance is temporary or permanent. What's worse, they've simply pulled all user support to boot, leaving users hanging.

Antman · 1 year ago

great suggestion, redo is all about making sure no one is left hangin' if we can't provide suppport everyone will know, bein' straight and open is our goal

CharliePATpk · 1 year ago

Sounds to me you have some concrete plans, but are also open for adjustments as needed.

Good deal.

Antman · 1 year ago

We're tryin'

Leo · 1 year ago

If I were creating the list of goals, there might be a subcategory under users called "active users." One of the first things I noticed about the Buzz when I started using it was that there are quite a few profile pages, but only a very small percentage of those users appear to be "active." Maybe that's just my perception. You would know the reality better than I do as you have access to the real data. So, I would probably create a subcategory called "active users," and find a way to measure that, quantify it, define it. Then I would create a goal for active users and try to figure out ways to raise that number. I'm not sure how helpful this suggestion is. You're probably already thinking about this, and it's probably included in your Unique Visits and Page Views goals. But, in my mind at least, there is an important distinction to be made between users and active users. And for that reason, I would probably include that category among my goals.

leo, great suggestion, you r spot on! We were using page views and uniques but I think a more specific metric make sense. thanks

"The great tragedy of life is not that people set their sights too high and fail to achieve their goals, but that they set their sights too low and do."--Michaelangelo

PG · 1 year ago

painful watching myself drone on and on. Might be scrap heap stuff. might give it another run in the morning.

Antman · 1 year ago

just what we need.

Lookin' forward to it!

Hey guys,

Great goals, and YES! they are achievable with a little help from your friends, and hey, you already have 2,500 of 'em :O)

I will, as usual, continue to spread the Buzz Word across the known universe by all the means available to me, and a few extra I am sure I can think up along the way.

The Buzz IS special, now we just need to let the other 6,599, 467, 231 people in the world know!

Keep on smilin'

The Squiffer
