As 2010 is just a couple days away I just planned out my 2010 goals.  Although I find goals are important to have, I try to not get too disappointed if I can’t achieve one or two of them and I don’t get too happy if I hit them.

My 2010 Goals:

Work Goals:

• $10,000 revenue per month on average
• Hit $20k affiliate revenue in one month
• Try to spread out income between poker, casino, and sportsbooks
• Build one big site this year
• Increase conversion rates network wide by paying more attention to what converts
• Update content on my main money making sites

Personal Goals:

• Keep good grades in school (4.07 GPA first term)
• Workout 5 days per week and get weight down to 190
• Enjoy the summer away from school with a few vacations
• Live life!

Each month I will try to do monthly goals on what I hope to achieve in the upcoming month.  These posts will be a little more in depth than this yearly goal list.

The next part of this post is about a little experiment I have decided to test out.  I was visiting Casino Affiliate Listings and read a thread by Greg about College Football Bowls and Betting.  Basically he was asking if anyone had created any mini sites that target bowl games for college football.  No one had answered him so I thought it would be pretty cool to see if I could get a set up in time and make some money from the BCS bowl games.

I got a BCS Odds site up on December 16th (took me one night to complete) and started getting some links to it.  Around Christmas it got indexed.  I am ranking decent for a couple of the terms I was targeting and have been getting a couple hits a day.

Now a site like this will probably only get traffic for 3-4 weeks with only 1 week with any major traffic, but I think I can make some decent money off of it.  After only about 10 hours or less of work total (including contacting people for exchanges) I figure I should be able to generate 5 real money sports bettors, which could be $500-$1000 on a CPA plan.  This equals $50-$100 per hour of work, not bad.  The best thing about it is that this site will still be around next year, and the year after, and the year after that…

I am going to see if I can set up tracking for the site at the sportsbooks I promote (I know at least one I can’t track separate) and report back in another blog post with the amount of players the site generated.  If I can’t get that up and going I will for sure post google analytic numbers.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!  I’ll make a post at the start of January with some goals for the month..
