But is this work?

So starting up with this new blog on a plan! Where Monday posts commemorate the greatness of the world waking up again from the quiet of the weekend. And I've been blogging for years but now the focus is different with this new blog! And its purpose is different. So am curious if my experiences with web traffic will shift with a blog that has a different purpose.

And weekends have always been slow down periods for me, like when you spend time hanging out in bars, until finally the world wakes up again, on Monday!

I love Monday.

And yes, there are countries ahead of my own, so if you get really creative and have it going on, you can start getting the thrill back on Sunday as people wake up to doing more in Asia.

For the first time I will focus on driving traffic and must set some goals, as well as a wind down schedule if things don't work out. And graceful exits are actually important which one might forget when starting something new. But especially if you will include others--as would like lots of readers--it's important that they don't get unpleasant surprises.

So am going to set a crazy goal, which is a deliberate technique, of having 1 million visitors per month for this blog, at an indefinite time frame. But have a 3 month time frame of at least ten thousand per month, or may start looking for the exits. Am still in decision phase so have a month for that one, while I determine if this blog is viable.

That is, had a LOT of happy energy yesterday, but that often lasts you through maybe a month or two. Producing content requires ideas, and a plan. Luckily can work through something at zero monetary cost, while there is a time cost. And the want to succeed cost where it is no fun to fail.

Will be relying exclusively on my own content, which will greatly limit me on links, so for instance will not link to an outside news article or even to the Wikipedia. If the blog gets successful may establish connections with others in some kind of way if that looks profitable and within the developed plan of the blog.

So yeah, need to mention money. This blog is meant to be seriously commercial, which may not mean what some might think...but probably does! It definitely does mean money matters. And to get money requires traffic. So that traffic number? It rules.

Monday On day. So glad the world is back to work!
