Successful Blogging Week 6

And here is the blogging strategy outline:

Here are some guidelines for using your blogging time. Use this as a starting point, and don’t be afraid to experiment until you find your personal blogging “sweet spot!”

Initial time ratio 50/30/20.

• 50% of your time creating content
• 30% of your time on marketing/traffic generation
• 20% of your time on the technical stuff

So in the 10-hour example I used in the webinar that would work out to:

• 5 hours of content creation per week.
• 3 hours of marketing/traffic generation
• 2 hours of technical stuff

And here’s a formula for how to use your Marketing/Traffic Generation time:

• Commenting on other blogs – 30% of marketing time (about 1-hour)
• SEO – 20% of marketing time (about 30-minutes)
• Social Bookmarking – 20% of marketing time (about 30-minutes)
• Social networking – 20% of marketing time (about 30-minutes)
• Other – 10% of marketing time (about 15-minutes, or save it up and spend 1-hour once a month).
