As most of you who visit my blog often know, I am a huge fan of goals and achievements. I am starting to review 1-2 different blogs a day related to my niche subject, marketing. The first blog and the only blog listed higher than me in the Marketing section of Entrecard is 1 Million Readers in 365 Days.

Here is blog and a blogger with a goal of reaching a million views in 365 days. That is a pretty high and lofty goal for a first-time blogger. Do I think he can do it? Absolutely, I know he can. I currently have no idea how close he is to achieving his goal or what results he has achieved through his various trials and errors. I believe that blogging about his successes and failures would be a great testament and record of how he achieved his goal.

Here are a couple things I would recommend for the site.

1. Put a huge logo or counter at the top of the site to let people know how close to his goal he is, perhaps a big percentage bar like the Habitat for Humanity sponsored houses.
2. A post weekly about different trial and errors that have been attempted and the results he received.
3. I’m not sure if he has or hasn’t spent money on the project, but I could imagine $40 spent a couple different ways would provide a lot of residual traffic. If spending money is not allowed, I think bartering would work the same way.
4. I would like to see some posts about the break down in his traffic as well.
5. Also contests and controversy are great ways to gain traffic.

Overall, I can’t wait to see what happens and how he reaches his goal. I think declaring your goals and ambitions is a great motivating factor. If you haven’t already visited the site you should (1,000,000 visitors is a big number).
