I like doing these posts every few weeks or so, I think it’s good to show what can be done and more importantly what needs to be done. Obviously this is all my opinion, I’m not an expert of any sort, but the way I do it, really is working for me.

So I’ll break it down to show exactly what I have done this month so far and talk a bit about why it’s the reason I’m where I am;

  • Guest Posts

A big part of my plans over the next few months and I’ve been going guest post mental, Still have 5 to send out from my list and about another 2 or 3 to other sites. I don’t always stay within my market place as my post for FitJerk clearly shows, but because I’m about motivation as well as drawing in more traffic, I think it’s a great strategy.

FitJerk – A military workout, The right of passage

BigRedTomato – Break the mold and do it

6aliens – The only route to success is hard work

ilcantone – How to stay motivated for the long haul

thoughtsongod – It’s more than CommentLuv we need to share

donpower – Write and promote, write and promote

socialphototalk – I Don’t know what you mean

wassupblog – The importance of readers

I have also wrote three other guest posts for, Sackledmuse, Extreme John and for David Risley.

  • Ideas

I have decided to start work on my book, a huge challenge which I’m loving. Hopefully it will be ready by April.

  • Promotion

I was interviewed by DragonBlogger, also interviewed by Paul Cunningham which will be published soon. I have been mentioned by Maria, Eric  from BluePop13 and TravisMorgan

  • Results

My Alexa ranking for the month is now 53,610 with a 3 month average of 88,439, on the 27th of October it was 8,500,000. This month so far I have had a record amount of guest posts sent in (56) of which some have been respectfully rejected due to various reason and the others have been published or will be later this month. I’m getting a lot more interest for websites reference interviews and guest posts etc which is great for raising the profile of the site.

So what do you take from all this? as I said at the start of this post, I’m no expert and certainly no guru, but what I have done and the way I have done it in the last few weeks has worked for me.

Could you implement any of this?

Could you guest post more, comment more and write more?

What does everyone think?
