How to Fill Out Your
Calendar
In case any of you missed my last 2 posts, we are exploring
a technique that a millionaire revealed in a conversation I was privy to. It was not a short and sweet sonnet, so I've
had to try to explain this whole strategy over the course of about a
month.
If you didn't get a chance to read my recollection of what I
was told, you can read Part I - How to Set Up A Blog and Part II - How to do Research for Your Niche or Subject.
How to Lock and Load
Your Money Calendar
If you have gone through all of the steps I've written about
in the last 2 steps, you should have already:
- · Researched and chosen your niche
- · Signed up for a blog (either WordPress or Blogger) account and formatted it
- · Researched topics you will be writing about using For Dummies, Amazon or eBay
By the way, if you don’t know how to set up a blog, I have
an online video series you can watch here: Bloggingwith Google’s Blogger
Once you have set up your blog, it’s time to set up your
calendar. The reason why you’d want to
use a calendar is so that you can have a series of articles related to your
niche that are somehow logically connected to one and other. Not only will a calendar connect your articles
to each other, but you’ll be able to establish goals, set deadlines and be able
to have a list of subjects that will make it so much easier to write
about.
Google’s Calendar –
My Calendar of Choice
If you haven’t seen Google’s calendar it looks like this:

| Google's calendar will allow you to color code different sections of your calendar, so it easy to view |
Now, if you don't want to do that, you don't have to. Any kind of calendar will do, whether it resides on a computer or not.
Creating Your Subject Schedule
Once you have your calendar picked out you will now return to Amazon (or eBay, or For Dummies.com) and look at the material you accessed using the technique in my last blog post and drilled down into your subject matter to find a niche, or even a niche of a niche. (Once again, please read my last Blog post on: Finding a Niche to Make Money On.)
Once you start looking at the resource material or books you can start to use your calendar to fill out a schedule. Actually, this isn't any different than making an outline. Take a look below:
Subject: Social Bookmarking
Introduction to Social Bookmarking in Marketing
I. Social Bookmarking
A. Why is it important to use it
1. How people use it
2. Why it is important to learn how to use it
3. Successful businesses that use social bookmarking
a. Star Bucks
b. Apple
So forth...
You want to fill in at least two months worth of subject material. if you are having a problem using Google's calendar here's a Video on how to use it:
The Reason for Doing This
There are a couple of reasons why you will want to schedule like this. First of all, there are a large numbers of entrepreneurs that put up a website and then drive traffic to it.
Whatever means they use to drive traffic to their sites, the results are usually not spectacular. One of the reasons this is so, is because webpages and sites that are static, usually don't get traffic. What I mean by static is, they sit on the net, and usually the content stays exactly the same. It doesn't change.
Internet search engines have become very sophisticated in the last few years, and they demand that a site have at least 2 basic criteria:
1. New, well written and focused content, and...
2. relevant links coming in
At the end of the day Google loves fresh, original content and so do readers. Google also loves relevant, quality links to your site. So, if you are writing good content that people love, then they will link to your website from theirs.
But, get real, if you have a crappy, static, site, chances are nobody will link to them, even if you ask.
If you would like to read more about this subject, then read this link by Michael Bluejay: Why I Won't Link to Your Site This is one of the most brilliant pieces I have ever read on this subject.
Also, SEOBOOK has a great article on Blogging and SEO as well.
The main point is...
If you write well planned material that actually offers some high - octane content, you should have no problem eventually getting readers to your blog.
in my next post, I'm going to show you how to get social media on your side, with an actual blueprint that you can use to get as many readers and possible prospects as possible.
Until next time, God Bless!
