3/7 Weekly Update: Suite101 & Niche Blogging

3.07.2010

In my previous weekly update, I had said I wanted to try my best to get up to 50 articles at Suite. I'm STILL 4 articles short. It was a busy week since I did have to work PT at my outside-of-the-home job and we had all 4 of our children. The good news is that I did get some work done, just not as much as I would've liked. Seems to be the story of my life for me every other week.


Suite101

Like stated above, I'm still 4 articles shy of 50 meaning that I now have 46 published articles over at Suite101. With that being said, even though I didn't get to 50 (yet!), I still managed to publish 5 new articles.

Suite recently announced that they will be having a 15 in 15 challenge during this month. I haven't fully decided on if I'm going to pursue it, but I do like a challenge. Even if I don't exactly meet the challenge, it still helps to get a bunch of articles published that may not have been otherwise and that's nothing to complain about. I'll ponder my decision this week.

Niche Blogging

I started a niche blog right around February 12th. The first post was on the 12th, but I'm sure I had set it up a day or two prior. After less than 1 month and no promotion whatsoever, it's listed on the 5th page of Google results for the primary keyword phrase and it only has 5 posts on it right now.

About 2 weeks ago, I outsourced a few blog posts for a couple of my blogs and managed to schedule two blogs to post content for the next 4-5 weeks. I plan on building up even more posts so I won't have to worry about content for a bit and can then focus on marketing and building backlinks. I plan on promoting them first with article marketing and I will be outsourcing those articles as well.

Ehow Earnings

Just an extra little tidbit I wanted to add...Ehow earnings are looking MUCH better this month over last month and I haven't published any new articles yet. While some people may have complaints about the site, I have my own reasons for writing there and the extra money I continue to receive each month is just one of them! I'm forever grateful for having read, "How to Earn Passive Income at Ehow.com: Residual Income for Web Content Writers". It was written by a very successful Ehow writer who wanted to share her success (& tips) with others looking to create a residual income home business for themselves.

Goals for the Upcoming Week

  • Write at least 4 Suite101 articles to get to 50!
  • Schedule at least 1 full month's of content on another niche blog
  • Complete 7 Ehow article drafts - they will be expiring within the next week or 2 so I'd like to just get them knocked off my list this week
Whew! I better get busy!

All the Best,

Melinda =)
