Hello. I’m now 29 days deep into my Follow My Footsteps research project. For those of you just seeing this for the first time, let me just briefly explain what I’m doing here.
Just four weeks ago I made the commitment to document all that I am doing to fulfill my dream of working full time using nothing but my laptop and internet connection. I have spent a good majority of my efforts these past four weeks increasing the back links to my site. In doing so, my traffic continues to rise and I really feel like I am gaining some good momentum heading into this fall.
I have made some bigger more long term commitments to benefit my home business but have made little ground towards making them a reality. More specifically redoing my main website, then branching off into a few other niches. I am making some progress but it is definitely a tough task seeing how I am still working 45-50 hours at my day job. It is a work in process though.
Lets take a look at some of my stats from last week…
Last week I had a record 2332 visitors which averages out to just over 333 visitors a day. This week I had 2350 visitors and an average of 335 a day! Beat the all time record by 18! Lets keep it going next week!
I am documenting my opt-in list as well but sadly I have no new visitors to report over the last seven days. I know what it will take to really boost my list, but it will have to wait.
Lets move on to this weeks “to do” list…
- Write and submit 2 articles.
- Post to my blogs 8 times.
- Social bookmark each post.
- Submit my website to 100 directories.
- Work on rebuilding my site.
I should also add that I have been working on a plan to increase my down line in SubmitYourArticle. My goal is to have 30 people in my down line. 30 people = $388.50 a month.
I’m doing this by offering to write someone 4 articles and a free learning e book to sign up under me. I created a post and then linked to the post in the Warrior Forum. If you’d like to read the new post I created with the offer, you can do so HERE. I also used the keywords “article marketing strategy” in attempt to draw some traffic from the search engines as. I am currently on page 7 spot #64 in Google for those keywords.
Stay tuned…
