In my last post, I stated that my goal is to reach the $1500/month mark by June 2009. I think it’s a pretty decent, SMART goal, because to reach it I’ll have to leave my comfort zone and try some new marketing techniques. (It also means that I’ll probably have to shell out more cash per month towards PPC traffic, which on it’s own is already a daunting decision for myself, as it’ll add an element of risk to the equation and I’m generally a risk-averse person.)

Anyway, in that last post, I also highlighted a few other goal setters out there, like John Chow and Jeremy Schoemaker, who are making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Well, I came across another affiliate marketer today who also sets goals– Very Big Goals .  Jonathan Volk’s goal of $400,000/month probably seems impossible at first… until you understand that he’s now 66% of the way there, as last month he broke the $270,000 plateau! Now, if that isn’t a disgusting amount of money, I don’t know what is.

In comparison my goal seems puny, but in fact, while Jonathan is 66% of the way to his goal, I’m still only about 20% to mine. Nevertheless, his monthly income is a huge motivator for me and I can only hope to reach that number some day.
