Did You Get The Results You Expected?

[Alex]

When most webmasters create a community, they have a goal in mind and that's to be successful. What was your goal? Are you still working towards your "ultimate goal" Have you got any results so far, and are they as expected? A good example is my other project, which is called Bizdustry.com. I started the project in the year 2020 in November with the intention of being the biggest paid-to-post forum and we've achieved the second largest with one competitor above us in one year!

What about you?

Am currently running a blog and forum. My aim is to reach 1K users. Haven't reached my goal yet. But am happy to see members actively engaging in forum posts and discussions. Would achieve my goal soon.

Wow, Alexander, congratulations on your success at Bizdustry.com. More success to you. I have a plan to start my own forum and make it successful and popular. I am busy learning a few important things about it.

For me personally, I do have a goal in order to set up an ecommerce site where I can sell certain items and whilst i think that this is a pipeline dream right now given the time and the fact that i have started with other tasks as well, making time an issue, I think that my first goal is to rather try and set up something that generates me a profit. As I start to generate profit i will then work towards trying to expand and become bigger.

I have yet to reach a major goal. I have come close with a blog of mine. I wanted 5k views per month and I was closing in on that and then Google screwed me over. Since then it has dropped off so much. I am working on fixing that. In terms of forums, my one forum (the one that was sold) had a good 30 or 40 daily active members with over two million posts so I think that was goal worthy but I didn't actually set a goal for that.

May I ask what was the issue that you did have with google? I think that if you elaborate on this a bit then it could be very helpful to all of the other members on this forum that are looking to start a blog and reach these sort of goals because contingency plans can be implemented if need be.

I started my first website as a hobby. After two years the site started earning moderately. After 5 years of running the site., I sold it for a profit. With my first website, I never had the intention of making money but I managed to make money. However, the sites that I started with the purpose of making money are not giving the expected results.

With each new site I make, I always go back to the drawing board and play things out until I get the results I want. My main goal is to always make a site that's popular enough to where I can sell it for a profit. And I usually make that happen.
