With the beginning of the year I thought I’d go back and look at last year’s resolutions and see how well I did. I also inclded my goals for 2010

 

1. Create or have a great logo created for Don’t Feed The Geek. Result=Success. Krishna Sadasivam @ pcweenies.com did up an excellent logo/banner for me.

2. Stick to a solid schedule. Until now I have been fairly random on my postings. Result=Success. Except for a week of illness I have published new toons every Tuesday and Thursday.

3. Do these toons with more professional techniques and get better. Result=Mixed. While I think there has been some improvement, I need to go much further.

4. Increase traffic to this site. Result=Success. (marginal) Traffic is up from the previous year and the schedule helped a lot.  I still want to see bigger increase, but I’m mostly pleased. I even picked up a few fans if you can believe that, and no they were not related to me.

5. Create the story line comic I have been planning, finally! Result=Fail. I started it but no where near being ready for anyone to see. I may abandon it and try a different story.

Goals for 2010

1. Increase traffic. Duh.

2. Participate more in the webcomic community and find new heroes to follow.

3. Publish a book. I’m close to finishing this one. I just need to finish some original art that will only be available in the book. And then have the guts to spend the money to do it. The mock ups look decent so far I must say. I hired Krishna to do the cover and that looks fantastic. In this case I want people to judge a book by it’s cover. I was hesitant to have someone else to do the cover but I see many examples of far superior artists have someone else design the cover, I had the good sense to ask krishna to do it.

4. Have a table at least 2 expos in 2010.

5. Get more mentions on other sites, positive mentions. 2009 was great as I “met” many great cartoonists who actually looked at my toons and some even had good things to say.
