My Goal For 2008

31st December, 2007 - Posted by Chance -

I thought I would make my new years resolution (if you want to call it that- I call it a goal) a day early and beat the bandwagon.

My goal for 2008 is to grow Secure Delivery to the point where it is my primary, full time source of income. As it stands now, Secure Delivery is in the black but does not generate enough income where we can work on it exclusively- we have to make ends meet with other contract jobs, outside development, etc.

I don’t like that. What I do like is working on Secure Delivery. Thats what I want to do full time, and damn the rest. Right now updates are slow to SD, and with good reason- we have to pay the bills somehow. Its hard to dedicate the time needed to grow a business when it only produces a fraction of your income, but we are willing to do it.

It will be a hard goal to reach though. For one, my current income level, and the current income level of my business partner, are pretty high by world standards. We both make in excess of $50,000 a year now, so there will have to be major growth to replace all that income from multiple contracts, etc. with income from Secure Delivery. We are both willing to take a “pay cut” to make it work, but we have to be realistic- we both have mortgages, car payments, and wives- or in the case of my business partner, a wife by the end of the year :)

On the bright side, Secure Delivery is picking up. Sign-ups are up, paid subscriptions are up, and we have a couple great features that are coming out in the next few months that are going to rock people’s socks off. We are structuring the non-fee parts of our site to expose users to the paid features to help conversions and planning a whole rash of promotional methods to get the word out on our new features and the overall Secure Delivery offering.

I predict 2008 will be a good year- here’s to everyone meeting their goals in the new year.

All the best. My new year resolution will be able to set up my passive income stream.
