Being Lazy In August & Posting Goal for September
Scattered Thoughts September 4th, 2007If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I don’t usually like to make excuses or give reasons why I failed to do things. However, since it is has been about 12 days since I last posted, and I had two or three other short absences last month, I guess I will say something.
August was just an incredibly lazy month for me. I ended up going “out of town” multiple times (anywhere from 2 to 4 hours away from my home) for a couple days at a time and also had a handful of family get-togethers. Everything was fun, but I’m disappointed at how little work I actually got done. I just didn’t have much time to sit down and concentrate on internet work.
My lack of work isn’t just within my blogging efforts; I haven’t done any affiliate marketing either. The great thing about it though is that affiliate marketing is pretty passive. Even though I haven’t been doing any work, and consequently haven’t been increasing my income, I have still been making money
To make up for the lack of posting, my public goal will be to publish at least 30 posts in September. One thing that really motivates me to write more articles is when I get a lot of comments, so if you have a question to ask or something to add to any of my posts, I would love for you to leave one.

Hey Derek,
30 posts in a month! Are you crazy? I know you have no lack of quality content to write but 30 is too much?
Maybe if you are going to write 30 posts & schedule them over time, that is fine. Personally if I post 8 - 10 times in a single month, I am more than satisfied.
Then again, if you do post 30 times, I read them all.

Well, that’s only an average of once per day. Many blogs post more often than that. In June, I made 17 posts in 11 days.

Derek,
That’s admirable.
You put out long and detailed posts, so 30+ is great.
Just like your fat content sites, having a long term blogging strategy’s key to your content creation process.
Are you going for branding? building readers? or something else?

Thanks Andrew.
I’m not really going for branding with this blog, although I guess that would be a side effect of traffic and readers. My current goals are just that, traffic and readers. I am also looking to just help people out and build more relationships within the industry.
Of course, I will be looking to make some extra money in the future, but not yet.
