Another week has gone by and it is time for Personal Accountability!
This week I feel really great about my progress! I stayed focused and accomplished a lot. I did a lot of behind the scenes stuff with my new affiliate site. I now have about ten posts in draft. I also have ten posts that I outsourced. I believe I am going to use a few of those outsourced posts for ezinearticles.com. I am not having a lot of traffic to the new affiliate site which I need to work on. Angie my accountability partner reminded me that I need to find blog posts in that niche,that are ranked highly and comment on them. This will help to attract the search engines. So this morning I have been working on that!
Here is the breakdown of my goals from last week:
Article Marketing
- Catch up and keep up with 100 articles 100 days –This I did a terrible job on! I am officially nine articles behind again. I have 62 done and should have 71 (as of today).
- Write two articles for new articles for my new niche affiliate site. –No I didn’t do this but this is on the top of my list for next week.
Danielle’s Journey
- Post daily
- write two auto responder messages –I actually got three messages done and the opt-in box up. I blogged about it Yesterday.
First Affiliate Site
- Write the first newsletter edition –Nope didn’t get this done!
- Write two posts –I didn’t do this either.
New Affiliate Site
- Finish posting product pages –I put up 12 product pages but I probably have about fifty more. A work in progress!
- Post four articles/blog posts
- Set up auto responder –I have set it up but as I was finishing Aweber when down for maintenance. So I just have to finish it up.
Recap on last weeks goals
I guess I only got half of what I planned done but I really feel like I am getting the hang of this and really enjoying it. I am developing habits that will make me very successful in the future and I am excited about it. The big thing this week is I am realizing that I have to prioritize my time! This can be really hard when you have four kids and other responsibilities! This week I am going to find a way to get traffic to my sites. Not only do I need to find a way but I need to automate it!
Dilemma
I am going away next week on vacation with my family! I am excited but I have so much work to do. My in-laws have the internet but not a router so I am not
sure how much I will be able to get done. The last three days of the week we will be camping so I will definitely not be working then. So I plan on taking some seo (search engine optimization) books and go from there!
Goals for this week:
Article Marketing:
- I will do at least five articles for 100 Articles 100 Days. I can do these offline!
- I will submit two niche affiliate articles to ezinearticles.
Danielle’s Journey:
- Post at least four times next week.
New affiliate website.
- Prepare more drafts (at least three). I can also do this offline.
- Post four times next week.
- Get ten plus product pages done.
Business in General:
- Find a way to automate traffic even if I have to pay for it!
Have a fabulous week!
