Tipsy Tuesday #14 - Set Your Internet Goals for 2009 / Cranberry Almond Mimosas

DRUM ROLL PLEASE!

• Tip #14 - Set Your Internet Goals for 2009
  
  How does that saying go?  We don't plan to fail, but we will if we fail to plan?  Something like that!  The Internet is such a huge part of the real estate industry now, that it's a huge oversite to not set specific goals pertaining to your Internet results.  Once you identify those goals, then you can create a plan of action (with your Real Estate VA of course ;-) to achieve those goals.  Here is a list of what some goals are that you could set for yourself in 2009:
  
  
  1. Capture XXX leads via your website.
  2. Increase monthly website visitors to XXX.
  3. Post a new blog entry every week (or day if you're really disciplined!).
  4. Update your website content at least once per month.
  5. Update listings on website within 24 hours of changes.
  6. Update profile on social networking platforms at least once per month.
  7. Participate on social platforms at least once per week.
  
  Now, some of these goals, it is really helpful to know what your numbers are now...but if you don't know that figure, please don't let that stop you...just keep pushing ahead to your goal for 2009!

  I don't know if any almond champagne is better than any other (I usually use Wilson Creek), but as with all alcohols, I say buy the best you can find!  I also like to use pure cranberry juice, not cocktail...and you will definitely need to adjust your ratio of juice to champagne to your own particular taste buds, but this is the way that I like it.  Pour about 1/4 of the champagne flute filled with the pure cranberry juice and then fill the rest of the way with the almond champagne.  Garnish with a couple beautiful fresh raspberries.  This drink feels very indulgent, but isn't too bad for you :-)  [Note:  I don't like super sweet drinks, so if this just isn't sweet enough for you, go ahead and switch to sweetened cranberry juice...it's the holidays after all!]
