Daily Do's

**Nelson Swett** · October 6th, 2009

I've decided to engage myself fully into my affiliate site. It's been a hobby type thing until recently. I have one up, done my keyword research and have some content up on the site. I'm regularly researching article ideas and have quite a list of content I can write and publish. I have a few products up and a list of products that might be a good fit and to date, I've made $1.80.

Obviously I would like to make significantly more. So, what are the things that I should do daily, especially over the next month to really get this thing going. I mean as far as content publishing, link seeking, (traffic generating),etc. What are the things that you do daily that make your sites a success, especially your new ones.

I am seriously motivated to make this happen.

Great topic, Nelson! This should make for a fun discussion

You have the site up, you have it monetized, you have a list of keywords & content topic ideas - awesome start. My daily to-do list for the first full month would probably look something like this:

Add one new piece of content every day (with keyword phrase in title)
Submit an article to EzineArticles.com - one a week at least
Set aside 30 minutes/day to find & comment on relevant niche blogs
Set aside 10 minutes to join a new forum and/or post at a niche forum
Research niche directories & rss/blog directories and submit to 3-5/day
Set aside time to create content/properties & publish to: blogger blog, squidoo lens, guest blog posts, etc.
Update Twitter & Facebook daily with something niche-specific & of interest to your target market

Anyone want to add anything to the list?

Ooooooh, good thread and one I'm so ready for!!

Great list, Lynn.

It's not a daily, but you need to set up an autoresponder account and then place an optin box on your blog. Aweber is the one of choice amongst most Internet marketers I've ever met.

That way, you can develop a list to receive special offers, notice of new products, etc.

Nelson, if you want to progress as a marketer, learn something new about marketing every single day. Read articles, read books, read newsletters, listens to CD's, whatever it takes. Try to advance your marketing knowledge daily. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise. Marketing is the key to success.

I subscribe to and enjoy reading articles in quality newsletters like SiteProNews, WebProNews, Addme, Web-Source and several others.

Great topic. I love Lynn's bullet point list for getting the site off the ground and running. Maybe look for popular ezines on your topic and subscribe to see what is being talked about and "hot" in that niche. Also, don't overlook trade magazines and in print publications on the topic, they could be good for getting the idea juices flowing.

Schedule Google Alerts in your niche. You'll get an overview of the latest buzz - and some potential places to leave comments and links.

Anyone want to add more ideas?

Ping your blog after you write a new post.

You can also use socialbookmarking sites. I found a new one that I am using. I did a blog post about it if you want to find out more.
