Timeline
This page was inspired from This Blog’s 1st Week, Actions Taken and will continue so forth. The only difference is the recent updates will be detailed first. It’s interesting to see how changes and the little things that happen through the process of blogging as you mature. You’ll find the transition from my receipt of newsletters from Entrepreneur’s Journey towards the studies in the Blog Mastermind program to the networks I join and the posts I’ve created and so on.

- How to gain access to top affiliates – 7th e-mail
People come to me complaining that there is an “inner circle” of top affiliates who only promote other top affiliates who are in the “circle”.
The inner circle exists because in order to earn the benefit of having top partners promote your products and content, there needs to be a reason why.

- How to build a popular blog – 6th e-mail
You won’t have a marketing budget or the benefits of a public relations officer drumming up free publicity for you. You have to do all this for yourself. You wear all the hats for your blog – author, publisher, marketer and public relations.
The first step to build blog traffic is accepting the fact that you will have to *work* for your traffic. No one is going to do it for you. No one is going to help you. Your blog is your baby and you are a single parent, solely responsible for its growth.
I tell my blogging students not to bother looking for traffic in the first month of blogging. Your blog may be online, but it’s better if people don’t know about it until you get something there worth reading. Once the content is in place and you finish all the pre-launch activities, then you can officially “launch” and get the word out about your blog.

- How to get more blog comments – 3rd e-mail
If no one is reading your blog then no one will leave comments either. Simply posting great articles to your blog is not enough – you have to *market* your blog to bring people to it.
Remember, comments on your blog are very important, take the time to respond to them.

- How I made my first $100 online – 2nd e-mail
If you don’t meet your first goal, and making that first $100 is definitely a big achievement for someone new to online business, it can be difficult to stay on track.
- More interesting points …
Blogging can take a WHILE to make good money, especially if you’re building an authority blog.
In short, you need to consistently produce great content and market your blog to build it into something stable. That takes time.

- How to choose the right blog topic – 1st e-mail
“Sometimes no amount of research, self reflection, internal or external analysis will give you an answer. Only the MARKET can give you a definite result. You have to set a blog up and just start writing and see what happens. You can always make adjustments as you go along.”
