Today is going to be a busy day. Time to go out there and take the first real step in conquering my life! Here’s the battle plan, soldiers:

• update each of my three Blogger blogs with two posts

• submit each blog to five blog directories

• build a complete profile and join five MSN Groups to market one of my blogs

• find two forums or subforums related to my secret niche and begin posting

• build four HubPages, one for each Blogger blog and one for this blog

• build four Squidoo pages, one for each Blogger blog and one for this blog

• submit four blogs or blog articles to small social bookmarking sites

• brainstorm articles for the major social bookmarking / news sites

• finish this blog post and include any results, difficulties, and random insights

The hardest part here is going to be writing the posts. Only one of my blogs features a few articles snagged off one of those free article databases. The rest are written by yours truly. I also try to keep my posts fairly long. Some bloggers out there say you should make many short posts (250-300 words) frequently. In each blog, posts are always almost always 500 words, and a few are over 1000 words. I’m pretty much trying to make each post into an isolated article; an article that could be read and fully understood without needing to read others for background information. This way each post can potentially be submitted to article sites, social bookmarking websites, etc. or added to my HubPages. The most tedious part will be setting things up for promotion: registering accounts, going into my e-mails for activation of my accounts, submitting blogs, applying for MSN Group access, etc.

Around 3:00 AM this morning I wrote updates for my other blogs for the next three days, so I can focus solely on these new projects for now. Anyway, time to get some hours of shuteye for the day ahead of me. Will finish this post tonight.

Later that evening…

Well, I just finished my to do list for the most part. I updated each blog, and submitted them to five directories. Unfortunately, I don’t remember which directories only list blogs over 3 months old, but we’ll see when I get the emails. I didn’t do any Squidoo pages, but I did build four HubPages.

I haven’t published the HubPage for this blog yet. I’m going to build another two then publish them when I’ve submitted this blog to directories, sprinkled links across the web, etc. I’m going to do it all in one shot and see what happens. Note: it’s not a good idea to suddenly add tons of links (the search engines punish you for that) on your website or blog so when I say “all in one shot” I don’t mean submitting to 50 directories, doing 100 link trades, etc. but rather continuously promote this blog a bit every day. Ehh I don’t know what I’m saying.

I built a complete profile and applied for five different MSN Groups. I’m focusing on MSN Groups right now because I see a lot less spam and a lot more restricted groups. Interestingly enough, I was accepted to two groups I applied for a few days ago on my blank profile. I made a few posts on one, but the discussions on the other group don’t work for some reason. :/

I haven’t found any good forums to promote my secret niche, but I did find fairly very active one that is somewhat related, so it should be interesting to see how that turns up. I’ve made two posts so far.

I’ve yet to post articles on some smaller social bookmarking sites, but that will be done tonight before I go to sleep.

Overall, today was a very boring day. Not much else to say, really.
