YourBlogTools in 2009

YourBlogTools in 2009

I don’t usually talk about myself or my blog, but since it’s the last day of year, I’m making an exception.

This has been a great 2009 at Yourblogtools. – both on and off the blog.
The story all began at the beginning of September when I decided to follow my passion and start a blog that focused on web solution tools.

I have had a wonderful time and I am ever so grateful to everyone who has become a part of this blog. This includes regular readers, those who leave comments and subscribers – thank you.
Hopefully, we’ll get to know each other much better in 2010.

If I could sum up 2009 in a word, it would be ‘discovery‘.

It has been a great year to discover many things in terms of blogging and internet marketing i.e discovering better ways to interact with others as a blogger, the world of internet marketing and the discovery of many new friends.

Coming up to four months of existence, I can confidently say I’m even more passionate about meeting the blogging needs of my readers. I still get butterflies just before hitting the publish button, and excitement when I you leave comments in response.

Successes

In the four months, I’m truly grateful for the success I have had on this blog. At the time of writing this post I have entered the 300,000 Alexa ranking group and Google Page Rank 2

Surprisingly, with very little effort, I have had some financial gain too – just enough to cover a few bills at this stage. And I am happy to say, I didn’t need to clutter my blog with Adsense ads to achieve this.

Challenges

There have been some challenges on the way. My biggest challenge at the moment is juggling the 9-5 hustle of work and blogging.

Professional Blogging itself requires full-time attention.

My time management needs work – something I am looking to put right in 2010.

Off The Blog

On the 15th August of this year, I finally tied to knot with my lovely wife Yemi. Another reason to remember 2009.

2010 and Beyond

There are big plans in the pipeline.
I am not going to give it all away, but do look out for the new look website – there’s a scheduled face-lift. And of course there’s the e-book coming soon.

So here’s wishing you all a fantastic 2010

    Wow Congrats on the Wedding and a great year of success on your blog. Thats awesome! And a little money to boot is great too.

    I feel your challenge. Fitting in time with a regular job that pays the bills, blogging, and the most important part spending time with your family can definately be a challenge. I know I find that I wish I had more time. Just stay focused and keep plugging away. You have done a great job this year and 2010 will be even better.
