Should auld acquaintance be forgot

Touch base with your contacts. Send a warm email out, letting people know about your site and what you plans are – include a coupon as well, or incentive for them to visit your site.

Perhaps a vow to work on your website at least twenty minutes a day – real minutes, not sitting at your PC and visiting your Facebook Page.  If you do one piece of content a day, or chase down a new link per day, or build a widget – you have done something good for your site’s future!

That’s it – it’s simple. Just recommit to your website’s success. You can make great things happen in 2010 – especially if you get started now!
