I was thinking more about my 365 Blog plan idea (a blog with no “year” and a post for each day of the year).
- Stage one-12 posts (one for each month). Those posts should have 4-5 (one for each week) general but related topics written into the post.
- Stage 2-the 4-5 sub-topics will become the weekly posts. The 52 posts should have 2 main sub-topics within them.
- Stages 3 (2nd post of week) and 4 (3rd post of week)-expand on the 2 main sub-topics.
- Stages 5-8 (4th-7th post of week) can relate to the previous sub-topics or to main blog topic.
This type of blog can easily be turned into a web site when those skills are developed or remain as a blog that will not need updating.
Since my strength is writing and blogs, I always thought I could get a blog set up to “run” itself. I never had a complete plan or got started. I finally did!
Here is the plan
GOAL-Have a blog with 365 posts (yes…that is one post everyday)
CHOOSE TOPIC-Daily general living inspiration
CHOOSE NAME-Go Forth Today
SET UP
- Create a sub-domain on one of my general use domains
- Add Wordpress
- Chose a WP theme
- Change the code to remove the year from each post
- Add Adsense and Shopping Ads
PROCESS
- Write 12 posts (one per month) before beginning anything
- Write 3 more blocks of 12 posts until I have 365 posts
- Evaluate
- Fine tune
REPEAT
- Use final process to make another blog
- Add to the process
- Keyword research
- Traffic
- SEO
- Once money is being made I will repeat with blogs that have their own .info domain
- The blogs that are the most successful will be used as a starting point for related websites and blogs with .com domains
Today I have 4 articles written. I just wanted to get started on something and I can write fast on the topic I chose. I am resisting doing anything else right now so that I can finish up some crafts by Sat and fulfill current writing orders.
