Like I mentioned in a post last week I want to keep you updated on what I have planned for this week. After looking at all the stuff I have to do I decided a set schedule of tasks isn’t the way to go. I just need to prioritize the different projects and sites I have out there and start working down the list.
Also it is hard for me to really work on any one task for more than a couple hours so rather than say “On Tuesday I will write 5000 words” or whatever I just want to make more weekly goals than daily tasks.
So for this week I have a few tasks I need to get done:
1. I have a local client and I need to finish their site. It is mostly done but I do need to move it from the test server to their server and that can always cause a huge set of headaches. Hopefully it all goes smoothly and doesn’t take more than a couple hours.
2. A few weeks ago I registered 6 domains of college players that should be coming out in the NFL draft this April. Two of them decided to stay in college for another year (How dare they get an education and not let me use these domains this year!!!) but there are still four of them who will be drafted in the first round. So I need to get some sites built for them. I don’t think I will do too much monitization on these sites yet (there can be issues using the names of college players like that) but I will get the framework of the sites built, start adding in some content (mock drafts, teams that could use them, etc) and once they get drafted in April I can load them up with jerseys, shirts, etc. But for now I want to get some content on them and start the aging process.
3. Write 2000+ words for an ebook. I have about 1600 words done but haven’t written on this project in a couple months. I would like to get more content in it and hopefully be done in a month or so. I am guessing it will end up around 8,000-10,000 words when it is all finished. I am not totally sure what I will do with it (give it away to build an email list, put it up on Kindle, sell it for a few bucks, etc.) but it will be nice to get it finished so I can start working on the sites related to it.
4. Write 8 product descriptions (200-500 words) for one of my old domains I need to revive/rebuild. There has been nothing on this domain for years but it was registered in 2005 so it has some good age to it. I want to use this domains to pick the best 8-10 products in each category for this niche, handwrite some content, and see what happens compared to just throwing up a 5,000+ item datafeed. It will probably take at least a couple weeks before I have enough real content to set this site up but I want to have the content ready to go for it.
5. Update the datafeeds on 5 old sites – I probably have about 20 that could use an update but I will start with these 5. For a couple of them it will just involve downloading a new feed, making a few modifications, and loading it up. Others might take a bit more work. But I should be able to spend less than 3-4 hours on this.
6. Work on getting a new client – Since I will be finishing up that one client this week (well, mostly finishing. There will be a bit of ongoing work.) I want to find one more client to take on. Maybe it will be another local company I can do some SEO stuff for, maybe it will be some sort of consulting work, maybe I will work with some affiliates to review their sites and help them improve, or maybe I will help out a merchant. If you are interested in any of these services or if there is anything I can do for you be sure to check out How Can I Help You.
Maybe I am being too ambitious, maybe I am setting the bar too low. I guess we will see on Friday when I recap how this week went.
