Hi,

Here is my blog launch formula. Works pretty well. Thought I'd share and would be interested in Warrior's thoughts and advice. Thanks, Allen

Task + HowLong?

1. Keyword Research and Domain Purchase 1 hour

2. Install Wordpress blog 30 mins

3. Install 2 tag plug ins, change the permalinks to /%category%/%postname%/,insert ping list, insert header. 30 mins

4. Create my Feedburner feed and submit RSS feeds once posts have been completed. Also add my Buzzboost to display in sidebar 30 mins

5. Insert sign up form using Aweber 30 mins

6. Install Google Analytics and submit Google Sitemap 20 mins

7. Set up RSS Bookmarker to take care of my social bookmarking. Could also use AutoSocialPoster 30 mins

8. Claim blog at Technorati. Also submit to Entrecard (worth buying a few ads) and BlogCatalog. 30 mins

9. Write 5 unique articles and post on blog. Submit same articles to Ezine + Article Marketer
3 hours

10. Install WP-O-Matic to publish RSS feed 30 mins

11. Start a low budget PPC campaign on Yahoo for selected keywords. 2 hours

12. Create a video and post to video distribution sites. Also post video on my site. Also bookmark video by adding video RSS Feed to RSS Bookmarker. 2 hours

13. Link to blog from 4 of my other blogs, including 2 of my blogger blogs. Add FAQ, privacy and contact pages to my site. 1 hour

14. Add my site to links network. Submit RSS Feeds. 10 mins

15. Completely rewrite 25 PLR articles and set them up for sporadic posting over the next month or so. Submit those too. 8 hours

16. Submit site to directories using a directory submission service 30 mins

17. Write and submit a press release 1 hour

18. Write and submit various classified ads 2 hours

19. (Potential to buy links but Google may frown on this practice. Buyer beware!) 1 hour

20. Forum posting (genuine, not Spam), include Warrior Forum Special Offer 5 hours

21. Install ad tracking codes on certain campaigns to measure return
on time/money invested 1 hour

22. Rifle shot approach to top listings in Google and other target sites, contacting each site individually and exploring advertising/joint venture opportunities. 5 hours

TOTAL, give or take 40 hours

* Please note that it takes about 5 minutes per account to register for each social bookmarking sites. So, if you don't have any accounts set up as yet, please allow yourself around 3 hours to set up 30 odd accounts.

+++++

So, there you have it. Appreciate it that this might be a bit overkill for some blogs but thought it might cut out a lot of guesswork for others.

Interested in your thoughts. Thanks, Allen

    Hey nice post you have here.

    It's seems this is your old formula because you don't update bumzee where you post your site. Bumzee is off for more than 3 weeks already I guess

    Hi - Bumpzee has been off and on for months. Worth leaving in because when on makes an enormous difference.... all the best, Allen

    Great post. However, wouldn't it be better to re-write your articles before submiting them to Ezines?

      Ezine don't mind, as long as you are the author and it is original content. Then it's just a question of whether Google picks up your article on your blog or the same article on Ezine. Either way, you've claimed one of the Google spots for your targeted keyword.

      All the best, Allen

    Wow thanks for sharing this Allen - I've started compiling such a list myself but this one is more comprehensive and it's useful to see the timings.

      Great Thread. Thanks.

      But, for a newbie, I'm still inundated with some of the ideas mentioned.

      Do you have a step-by-step of this?

        Hi - No, sorry, not at this stage. If enough interest shown here, then I may put something together. Happy to help in getting you started though. May also start a mentoring service if that is of interest. Please let me know. Thanks, Allen

          Hey Allen,

          A step-by-step instruction with Camtasia for each step would be great. Start by giving away free one or two. Then sell each, to start with. Once you have all, sell them as a package. I would buy it or subscribe.

          If it is OK with you, pm me your email address. The forum doesn't allow me to pm yet, since I'm new. There are thing I know that you don't. We can share knowledge.

          Sam

    Allen,

    I've been looking at RSS Bookmarker because I want a server-based solution to automate some social bookmarking. Are you happy with it? If you have a review of it or more details of how you use it, and results, I'd be grateful to hear more about it.

      It's out of a good stable. No aff links here Mat's a good guy and very responsive. I used Auto Social Poster and RSS Bookmarker. RSS B just seemed a lot easier. It does take a bit of setting up, with user name and the like, but once done, easy peasy. Not sure of the overall value of automated bookmarks, but I think you've got to have them in the mix somewhere... hope this helps, all the best, Allen

    Great guide. I think some people could probably do it all in half that time - self not included! Great resource.

      Yes, I've got some Indian guys who are pretty quick at it now. However, you still need to train and learn, so I've factored some time in there for that. As always, the problem with IM is distraction. If you can stay focused and keep your head down, I agree, the times can be shaved. But I think, for an overall average, they're pretty close. Would love some people to add some time trials to this thread for any elements they might try. Over to you Warriors.

      Thanks, Allen

    Wow, what a valuable and actionable plan! Excellent.

    Add a detailed process map and you've got a monster WSO.

    No excuses, folks. This is a great blueprint to follow -- for free.

    Best,
