2008 was such an amazing year, I really didn’t think 2009 could be much better. Boy, was I wrong! 2009 was the most exciting, rewarding year of my life so far, and that makes me so much more excited about 2010.
As you might remember from my post last year, I don’t really make New Years resolutions. I am constantly reviewing my goals… I do it weekly, monthly, quarterly and yes, annually. A year is a good time frame by which to set larger goals, though, so I do like to take a little time every year to review my progress and look at what’s in store for the next year.

I know it’s the holiday season because the parking lots are full of shoppers and the coffee shop is full from people trying to escape the cold. As much as I dislike shopping this time of year, I really love the holiday season.
A lot of people slow down or take vacation, but this is actually my busiest time of year. It may not be normal for interactive agencies, but Kelsey is always slammed with work this time of year. We have so many projects we’re having to prioritize which we are going to be able to work on.
On top of that, this is the busiest time of year for 2BigFeet.com. We’re overwhelmed with orders and are constantly sending out email newsletters and adding new products to the website. We’re so fortunate that we’ve still grown a good 30% over last year despite the economy.
As if I wasn’t busy enough, I just recently signed on to be the co-editor of the weekly SitePoint Tribune email newsletter, and we’re remodeling a bit at the Eley household. Busy times!
Though it’s hectic and busy, I’m loving every minute of it!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I was asked to do a book reading of Online Marketing Inside Out at South by Southwest (SxSW) Interactive conference in March, 2010. I won’t actually be reading from the book, but instead will give a short presentation around one of the topics covered.
I have wanted to speak at SxSW for several years, having been to the conference both in 2008 and 2009, so I’m very excited about the opportunity to both speak at one of the largest conferences in our industry and to get such an amazing chance to promote our book.
I just hope my coauthor Shayne Tilley can make it to Austin all the way from Australia. Not only would it be an excellent opportunity for us to promote the book together, but it would also be the first time I met him in person!
