2011 GOALS & PROJECTS
It’s amazingly easy to start new projects and get side tracked while running a business online. How many times this year did you lose focus on your main projects, or want to start something new. With the new year right around the corner, it’s a great time to make a list of your top goals and new projects to work on. I know I will be weeding out the smaller sites/campaigns and tasks that got me side tracked in 2010 and will either let them die off, or outsource their management.
DOMAIN NAMES & RENEWALS
I’m sure most of you have you have your domains on auto renewal, but it’s always a good idea to take a good look at your domain names and still have a good idea on when they expire. I have several hundreds of domain names and they are pretty much all over the place, mainly with GoDaddy, NameCheap and eNom. Before crossing over into the new year, I’m taking some time to consolidate and transfer my domains names into one large account with NameCheap.
CLEAN YOUR INBOX & OFFICE
I’m guilty of always having a messing inbox. No matter how many times I find myself clearing out my GMail account, it’s loaded up with hundreds of unread emails within days. The same holds true for your desk or office room. head into the new year with a fresh start. A clean inbox and office will get you started on the right track!
SALARY, BONUSES, PAYMENTS & STOCKS
Manage your finances and make any necessary purchases, employee payments or stock sales before the year ends. Head into the new year without any pending debts or payments looming over your held. Also make sure to make your final contributions to 401k/IRA accounts. You never know what the new year will hold for you and your company, so make sure your finances are in order.
Other quick ideas you should take action before the new year include… updating your DMCA/copyright/privacy policies, back up you site and data, clean out your social accounts of “non friends” and change your passwords. Feel free to leave a comment with any ideas I may have missed, and what you’ll be doing to make 2011 your best year yet!
