It’s 2012! I hope you had a great 2011. This is the time of year when I review my goals from last year and see how I did. Here we go…
Earn $3000 in a month with my stock art/passive income.
Well, this one kind of got squashed. I ended up leaving some good paying agencies like iStock, Fotolia and Vectorstock because I have been trying to focus on and support the better paying agencies. My income took a hit because of that, so I failed on this one.
Make $500 in a month at myStockVectors.com.
I was close on this one, but never achieved it. My traffic has been growing lately, so hopefully it will translate into sales.
Increase my freelance earnings by 15%.
Hmm… I guess I forgot this one was on here. I didn’t see a huge surge in freelance work. I may have to adjust my prices if I’m going to make this one happen.
Learn and submit 3D illustration files.
I worked on this one, but didn’t get very far. It was a little more work than I wanted to put into it to learn the programs. I may revisit it at some point, but there’s not much time left after freelance work and stock image work gets done.
Get to 4000 stock art files.
OK. I did this one. So, I’m not a complete failure. I had 4300 images at the end of the year.
Well, that wasn’t a very good job with my goals. Oh well, let’s get on with the new goals (some of them are the same as the old ones):
Double my stock portfolio (8000 images).
Increase freelance earnings by 15%.
Make $500 in a month at myStockVectors.com.
There they are! My new goals for 2012 are ready. Barring any end of the world shenanigans, I hope to work hard to accomplish them.
