March 2010 Goals: How I Did

Remember when I listed out several Goals For March 2010? Guess what? I actually accomplished them.

Granted none of them were super crazy, like “Earn $100 per day from this website,” but that’s not the point. The point is that I deserve a cookie.

Here’s my modest list of goals / expectations, and a quick summary of how I did:

Add Content: Write at least 15 new posts.

Check.

Though it was right on the button (15 posts exactly last month), it still counts.

Guest Post: Write at least ONE guest post on one of my favorite blogs.

Check.

I wrote up a little ditty called What A Dragster Mechanic Taught Me About Living Cheaply over at Planting Dollars. If you’re really interested, I explained the ordeal in these two posts:

• Writing For Other People’s Blogs: My First Guest Post
• My First Guest Post Ever Is At PlantingDollars.com

Technically I got this one in at the last minute, as my guest post didn’t go up on Planting Dollars until March 31. So if I wanted to be nit-picky I’d knock myself down a peg or two, but I’m not nit picky. As long as it happened within the time allotted, it counts – that’s my stance and I’m sticking with it.

Leave Comments: Leave at least FIVE quality comments on THREE different blogs each.

Check.

Like I said at the beginning of March, I have a really bad habit of reading blogs and not posting comments. This is dumb, for so many reasons (check out my post Why Blog Commenting Rocks for a few of them).

Overall I think I left way more than five comments on way more than three of my favorite blogs, but just to give a little link love to some of my favorites, here is a list of the three I read and commented on most frequently last month (in no particular order):

• Planting Dollars
• Build That List
• Experiments In Passive Income

Like I said, I know for a fact that I contributed to way more blogs than this, but these are the ones I actively participated in on a regular basis. You should check them out, too, because they’re pretty freakin’ cool (though Build That List might have changed ownership recently – I haven’t read the new stuff yet, so I can’t vouch for it).

So there you have it, my Mission Accomplished for March 2010. Now on to April…
