DAYS 5 & 6
Hope you are well rested. You didn’t stay up all night watching viral videos on your social bookmarking sites, right? Good. We’ve got another full day of work.
The next step could take a while, even though I’ll explain it pretty fast.
You know those articles you collected for the first day. We’re going to use them now while they’re fresh. If you didn’t collect a whole bunch, time to crank some out right now. If you did collect 100, it’s probably worth giving them each a quick read before using them. Reading them aloud is the best way to check for grammatical errors and clunky sentences that just don’t flow as well as you might like. Run spell check, too.
Ready? Good. Let’s start submitting those articles and building up your Web site and other hubs.
The next two days will be nothing but article submissions. Your goal is to submit three each day on your Web site and on each of your other hubs.
So paste three articles on your website.Then add three articles on HubPages.Got your next three articles? Put them on your Squidoo lens.
I think you know where I’m going with this. Put three articles on your Wordpress blog, another three on Blogger and three more on Wetpaint. Don’t forget 43things and Gather. So how about those other Web sites we found this week? You got it.
You’re going back in. The ping directories will take care of themselves (see, you already saved yourself hours of work). But Digg links won’t post themselves. Post some links to some of your articles at the social bookmarking sites. You went to the trouble of deciphering those psychedelic word verification images and creating your accounts.
You might as well use them.
I’ll also add an extra optional step. There are a bunch of article directories out there. I find they are not as effective as the Web 2.0 publishing sites we used on Day ONE or the bookmarking sites, but they will drive some traffic. I won’t go into them in detail here, but look to the last appendix of this article series for a good list of effective directory pages.
Get to posting, and I’ll see you the day after tomorrow. I know we won’t see each other tomorrow, but don’t cheat. You need to do the work. Don’t waste the day watching Britney Spears videos. I won’t always be here to keep an eye on you.
Until next time! See you around ;) ...
