About a week ago I started a blog and I've been working really hard on it as much as I can before summer comes to a close. I'd like to set some goals here, track some progress and get advice from the more seasoned bloggers on the site.
GOALS: My main goal right now is to reach 100k unique visitors per month a year from now. I feel like it's lofty but doable. This month I have a whopping 34 unique visitors so far. By the end of the month I want to reach 1,000.
My process so far:
So far I have set up the site and formatted it so it looks the way I want. I wanted to do this first so I could focus on delivering quality content and establishing a reader base. I used a theme that I had bought a few months ago for a different blog, but it went well with the premise of my new site so it was perfect. I think the site looks unique and well put together (in my opinion).
I made a (possibly temporary) logo/header for the header of the site in GIMP (used to do some graphic art).
I put out my first post on July 28 and my second on August 1 to get some content onto the site.
I set up a few different accounts for the site: Twitter, Soundclould (I plan on podcasting in the future), and Youtube (I plan on making videos).
This is what I'm doing to help drive visitors to the site: Commenting on other blogs in my niche, making forum accounts on forums in my niche and posting (with my link in the signature). What else should I do to drive traffic? I'm pretty new at this. And are the things I'm doing now a waste of time? They seem to be driving some traffic to the site (mostly the blog postings).
No subscribers or comments so far. One person did try to comment but emailed me saying that my comments weren't working (I fixed this immediately). So I should have 1 comment technically.
I set up some affiliate links on one page (amazon), made a page with must watch videos in my niche, and did the about page and stuff like that.
I think that's about it. Any advice or criticism is appreciated. If you want to see the actual site I can post it as well.
