Setting Daily Advertising Goals

I’m a real slacker. With the summer coming around, I have decided to aggressively move forward with my sites. Personally, I believe that writing content is half the battle; without marketing your blog, your content really goes to waste.

So, for this summer, I have decided to up my marketing efforts with a thoroughly thought out plan. I know that doing something is better than doing nothing, I know that the plan won’t fail. However, we’ll see how effective this summer comes out to be…

The 5-Step Plan

Ten Directories a Day

I’m setting 90 days as my summer working days right now and so far, and therefore, assuming I keep to the schedule, I should have around 900 submissions done for particular keywords I am interested in ranking for. 900 submissions could probably be done easily by hiring someone to do it, but I prefer the old manual submission and link building over long periods.

Article Submission

Probably not the best type of promotion for a blog like this one, but for my product sites,  I’m looking into writing two articles per week per site. This comes int around 22 articles per site, which is very doable.

Dofollow Blog Commenting

Dofollow commenting is extremely powerful, considering you can kill two birds with one stone. With quality commenting, not only do you gain reputation, but you can also get quality backlinks without being called a shameless advertiser or a spammer. Build a reputation among bloggers while promoting your site; how cool is that?! In regards to how much commenting I will be doing, I look to target at least five blogs a day in the niches that ahnternet covers.  With other sites, I’ll cover their niches with five comments a day.

Guest Posting

I think guest posting is an excellent way to reach out to new readers without going through the hassle of trying to build backlinks and hoping that a reader clicks on the link out of random interest. To be brutally honest, I have been quite terrible at keeping this one, so I’m going to limit myself to two a month and we’ll see how it goes from there.

Contest

Before the summer goes by, I hope to run a contest of some sort. Possibly with a fellow blogger, possibly by myself. For now, nothing is really set, but I have a rough idea on how I want to run it and what I want to give out as prizes, so keep your eyes out on that.

Concluding…

So we’ll see how it goes. Will it be a failure? Definitely not. I think it will be more on how much of a success will this bring to this blog and my other sites. Again, we’ll see.

If you have any other ideas on marketing websites for a low cost without too much work involved on my part, I would love to hear your comment. Sharing is caring.
