We Will Accomplish a Mini Goal This Week

GoalThis week, I will be a guest blogger on a big blog. I am telling you this not because I have a blog in mind, but because that’s my goal. I am going to find a big blog that will bring readers to my blog and I will guest post there this week.

I asked on twitter a little earlier this week how to get to post on a big blog, and I was blown away with the answer. Everyone told me that all I have to do is ask. Guest posting gives the blog owners a break and makes their lives easier. Plus it brings different kinds of traffic to their website and a fresh perspective!

So, I think I can do this. I’m a fairly proficient writer, and I can be witty at times. Who wouldn’t want me as a guest poster, right?

I need to do a few things to accomplish this goal:

  1. Decide on a Blog
  2. Come up with a Relevant Post for that Blog
  3. Email the blog’s owner and ask if they’d be interested in a guest post from me.
  4. Celebrate Accomplishing my awesome Goal.

I want you to do the same. Find a mini-goal for your blog, and make it happen this week.

Ready, Set, Go!

Stay on Target

Well, it seems I’ve discovered my big problem. Turns out, I have no idea who my target audience is. But, that’s because I have an even bigger problem

I have no idea what my blog is about.

I guess I need to figure that out, huh?

I am going to use a technique that writers often use. It’s called coming up with the hook. You know, that thing that makes people say “ohhhh I want to read more”. If you can define what your story is about in a two sentence blurb, then chances are you have a good story.

So, today I am going to try to define my blog in one sentence, and I challenge you to do the same.

Now, because I am insane want to help you with your pitches, I am going to include all my drafts here so you can kind of get a feel for the process.

You Gotta Start Somewhere, Right?

challenge2Now, the official challenge is on. I have made it my personal goal to see my very own blog turn a profit before the end of my internship here at the Profitable Mommy Blog. And, I’ve challenged you all to do the same!

So, let’s start with the facts.

I have been using google analytics on my website for a couple of months now, and I think they give fairly accurate numbers. The only thing you have to remember is that they are java based, so anyone browsing the internet that has java turned off won’t be counted towards your count. But, most people have it on, so they’ll give us numbers I’m comfortable working with. [Read more...]
