If I have only written 1 article in the past couple of weeks does that mean that I am going nowhere with trying to make a living online? Probably. But thanks to my 2 supersites I’ve actually published about 60 articles in the past couple weeks. Takl about leverage. Still – I need to be doing a lot more of my own writing. I wrote one at The Bookshop Blog yesterday so this here makes 2 in 2 days – we’re cookin’ with gas now!
I have to tell you that I was once again inspired by a fella at the Keyword Academy forum. His name is Fraser and is where I’d like to be in a few years. There was a discussion about how much you need to write in order to make a living via publishing on the Internet. Is it 3 posts per day, is it 10? Fraser suggests that you really need to focus on 1 post per day. If you sit idle for 3 or 4 days it becomes very easy to stop writing altogether and this is exactly what’s happened to me. Frankly, The Keyword Academy remains my best source of actionable, real life inspired place for solid info on Internet Marketing. I can’t recommend it enough.
Of course I won’t be posting here every day; as you might know I have a few sites going, plus Hubpages plus something called Post Runner (again, over at TKA). But much of it will be here. I’ve spent the better part of the last hour trying to decide if I should convert this site into something more specific, pick a topic and stick to it. Again Fraser (did I mention his forum posts are probably worth the Academy’s subsrciption price on their own) suggeasts that a site can be all over the place and still do well. I like that idea and will keep The Big Desk as a free for all, a place where I can write about family, travel, Internet publishing and life in general (as the heading says).
One article a day, minimum – every day – for ever and ever….Seriously, I’ll probably do at least three a day, now to find some topics. My next batch of articles will make use of yet one more of Fraser’s plans. A topic tree, where the top article is a Main, strong keyword with a gang of heavy keywords acting as branches followed up with even more ‘leaves’ which would be very long tail keywords with almost no competition. OK – off to find the topic for them….
