Okay, yesterday I thought I would have to resubmit my article and wait another week before they got around to accepting it again. Nope, it was within 1 hour and they accepted it, I was impressed.
Not only that I applied to get my account upgraded and they accepted that within 1 hour as well. Now I can put 25 more articles up until I need to upgrade again. I have put 3 more up there that I did yesterday. These all direst to the 5 blogs I made from my 20 blog series.
These 5 blogs I am going to work on through the month of June and part of July before I start on the next series of 5 blogs. That way I pamper my 5 new blogs and do everything I can to bring them up in the rankings.
So as it is now I have 5 blogs with 2 posts each and 5 new articles out, 1 for each blog.
I will work on 5 more articles and hopefully have them up before the end of this weekend. Next week I will be putting 5 more blog posts up.
That was fast! Ezine is getting better and faster!
Trucking along with Ezine
So I guess ezine won't let you do anchor text for more than 3 words, so I had to resubmit that article... Very very slow process. The article is a fine article and when it is accepted then I can move on up to the next level and submit 25 articles.
I did some posts on my blogs and have them going good, I will be doing about 5 blog posts today. At least I can stick to that schedule without any hiccups.
One of my articles were accepted on ezine and I am happy for that, you never know what they are going to find. I wrote an article (totally original) and it was said to be a copy??? I was shocked so I rewrote the title and a few words and it got accepted right away. Wow they sometimes don't know what they are doing over there. I'm sure they got their hands full with the thousands of articles that come in daily.
Ezine Articles basic account
Okay, I guess I wasn't paying attention and ran into a brick wall, but it's just a matter of time before I can get my other articles posted on Ezine. I have 7 articles 5 of those were from a while back and have nothing to do with this blog challenge. So from the 3 articles I wrote yesterday, I was only allowed to submit 2 of them because I have a basic account still. I will need to wait until I'm able to push that upgrade button.
I have read in the forums this doesn't take long to upgrade so I will continue writing my articles and play the waiting game in the mean time I will do another 5 articles today as well as 5 very keyword generated blog posts. I have been playing around with the directories and social bookmarking. Soon I hope to be indexed in Google. I'm not going to hold my breath because I know it takes some people a month to get indexed.
I was reading a post on article marketing from a gut who goes to the same forum as I do, that's the DigitalPoint forum. He was successful in article marketing he made around $600-$1000 dollars in the days he was doing his challenge. I hope to do the same, but I am looking at mine a tad bit differently. I'm doing a year challenge and it will go on year to year, so if I don't make money this month from what I am doing, it's okay. I'm looking at this for the long term. I know I will make a sale here and there but I already done something similar to this and had a sale or 2. Nothing this big though.
If what I am doing can make a difference in a yearly income I ant to see it, if I can see an increase of $1000 a month from doing my blogs and babying them, that's $12,000 extra a year for me and that's not bad at all. If I could make $500/month for each blog I think I would possibly call myself the biggest bestest bum marketing genius of all time LOL. I have set that goal and to get that goal I need to work hard and strong. I know $500 per blog per month is a stretch but hey, I think reaching for the stars is what we all should do.
On with Article writing
Today I finished the 5 graphics and page openings for the 5 blogs... wow that was pretty easy but took a while.
Tomorrow I start on the article writing. I would like to take this slow and easy and not to rush it so I get posts and articles that are worthy of being in the front pages of google, now weather or not they get there is another story. I beleive the time spent on writing a good article is well worth it in the end.
Before I do the next 5 blogs I think I will do the article writing for them first since it will be the biggest task of all.
5 blogs = 45 - 500 word articles with perfect keyword placement.
20 blogs total = 180 articles. so it is very important for me to get on these articles.
Blog Challenge daily workings
Last night I started on my graphic for my 2nd blog it was wonderful, they really turned out nice, I have never been so excited about a project before.
I know none of the 5 sites have made any money as of yet but the are in starting mode so it will take a while.
I figure in August I will start to see results for the blogs.
remember they are all .blogspot blogs so in no way am I using anything that costs money here, this is all bum marketing from start to finish.
My first five blogs
I am really getting excited it has been 1 week, well 4 days and I am working on the five blogs and going for the 20 blog mark.
I make the first one finished the design, it looks like building the blogs are taking me a little bit more time. I should have the basic first 5 done by the end of June and that means everything, from doing the ezine articles as well as the linking, backlinks and so forth.
So work on the other 4 this week and then start on the article marketing. when the basics are done for the 5 blogs.
Once this is all done it's on to the next 5 blog until I hit 20... from there it should be running pretty smooth.
5 blogs
1st week - get the front pages set up and make 3 unique blog posts.
end of the week and into 2nd week - 3 very different and unique blog posts
2nd week - Linking & squidoo's (might work on squidoo's at the end of creating the blogs)
Advertising and social book marking
Add similar articles to other article sites changing them up a little to feel original.
Make video's and youtube them as well
Finished and on to the next 5 blogs.
This looks to be a 2 month process, but I think when I have my first 5 finished I will be quicker and know what to do faster with my other blogs. That may reduce it to 1 1/2 months for 20 blogs.
Blog Challenge Start
So this challenge is going to be a little bit tougher.
However, I am prepared to face the challenge realizing it may take me a full month to complete. Upon completion, if I had did it right and in the right order, should be making approximately $150-$300 a day. The process of creating blogs can be a difficult task, depending if your a blog expert.
I will be starting out by creating a gmail account, this I feel may be a little black hat, but really blogs are there to help us learn so I am not worried about using these techniques.
For every gmail account you make you will me making 5 to 10 blogs. I personally will be staying at the 5 blogs per gmail account.
1. 20 blogs with 4 gmail account
2. 20 clickbank products
3. 3 posts on each blog, using great keyword
4. 3 articles for each blog, placing them on ezine and goarticles.
Link these blogs together. digg, delicious, and all that fun stuff.
Add them to some directories that have page rankings.
After I have done this I will be posting on my BIG 20 only once a week. people have said you can set them and forget them, but I am all about making them work so I will be working with them for possibly years to come.
I am doing my blogs a little different than the normal way of making them. You won't be seeing them looking like this regular blog you see in front of you. They have a twist to them, and a focus on a product. I will continue to direct the reader to the product. On the blogs I of course will be giving valuable information from the first 3 posts I make.
Follow along if you will, this is going to be a task and will take me probably till July 1 - 7 to complete. I am up for it if by July I will be making anywhere from 150-300 a day I will be happy I have made it.
I can't wait to start making 300/day working at home online.
About my Blog Challenge
This is a full time job, I think I may need some freelance work done. I started out with 3 posts and it is very hard to continue at this pace.
Some of the freelance places you can buy people to make posts on your blog, I think I will do that.
I'm thinking 3 posts per day from 3 different people.
some of the payment rates I have seen were anywhere from
$1 per post to $3 per post.
So at 3 people at $1 per post will be $90/month. Not so bad
3 people at $3 per post would work out to be $270/month
along with me doing 1 post per day I would be getting some good postings done.
=========================================
So there is another part to my blogger challenge I am starting on and it will result in me writing an ebook and having people sign up for a free report. Of course you all know that the free report will turn into the sale of my ebook.
I quit using Aweber, OMG have you all seen their prices lately? 500 opt ins for $20/month and anything over 500 you will be charged more.
I'm going with getresponse, they allow you the 10000 members and every 5000 members thereafter will be a $4.50/ month charge.
I am starting my BLOG CHALLENGE
Yes I am starting my blog challenge with my new found wealth of information.
Step 1 - Make a new blog
Step 2 - Find a subject I love
Step 3 - Do 3 to 5 posts on it a day
Step 4 - Add Adsense
Step 5 - Add Entrecard and Spottt
The main important thing for this challenge is the posts.
I know it s what makes the big blogs lot's of money and of course using the right keywords as wel. I will be making my posts 300-400 words long.
There are blogs out there right now that do 40 posts a day and have 900k readers.
And that one make over 100k a month in money, plus 4 people work on the blog all day. I will look for the name of it and post it.
There is another blog, well 2 more one is parez hilton blog, they make around 100k per month, but the thing is is they post approximately 5 times a day so it is the posts that create the blog...
I WAS LIED TO!!
Some of the big blogs who are in here making lot's of money are telling us it's the advertisements that makes them all the money...YA! but how did they get those people to advertise? They started posting and posting and posting and soon built their blogs strong and are where they are right now.
Now they get the big advertisers!
So after doing my 3-5 posts per day... That will be approx 90 to 120 posts in a month... We will see if I am right.
More to come....
