Well after getting the blog up yesterday I thought I had better do some work and promote the thing. Now I might have mentioned that I really don’t like article writing but for bum marketing it’s and essential piece of the equation . So in between watching T.V, eating and playing with the kids I managed to write 4 articles which I submitted to an Article Directory. Now it’s just a matter of waiting for the articles to be accepted and then hopefully I will start to see a trickle of traffic to the blog. Actually writing the articles were pretty easy and I’m by the 3rd and 4th article it was only taking me around 10 mins to do an 400 word article which isn’t too bad. I plan to have at least 10 articles submitted to the article directory this week.

Another thing I did today was to add tracking to my blog so I can actually see when and if I do eventually get any visitors. I also created a lens which means I had to basically write another article to use on it so I actually ended up writing 6 articles today which for me is pretty good as normally I would pay someone to do them for me. I also started promoting my lens because as I mentioned I’m trying to create funnels which will send traffic to the blog and hopefully this leads to sales!

I also made one new post to my blog so that’s where the 6th article came into the equation. Now if I keep this level of activity up I honestly think it will only be a matter of time before my blog starts to rise in the SE and hopefully this means I will make some money, mind you that’s if I keep that level of activity up and today was a public holiday but, I still hope to submit at least 10 articles this week and post to my blog every day this week (good to set goals!)

That’s about it for now!
