50 Posts In 25 Days Project: Week Five Results

Thank you for this post. I have been sceptical about blogging and you helped me understand its value!

Nice post Todd. I would have liked to see your traffic weekly vs a daily chart…but it’s all good.

How did you create your content strategy…Did you map everything out?

What was your biggest challenge?

Also, my dad went to Seton Hall. Go Pirates #newjersey

I understand. I am thinking of the same idea…but I want to plan out about half of the posts and either news jack or reply to other blog posts with the other half.

And nice! Is that the weekly chart in the smaller image?

Happy New Year Todd!

Very nice approach and good documentation Todd. I’m impressed with your follow-through and happy for your results. I’m a big fan of consistent blogging. It brings organic happiness!

Hi Todd
Way to go, a huge commitment, so glad it worked out for you. I am curious if you did Call to Actions and landing pages for every post? That is what I find takes the time, I can churn out the blogs, but it is the next two steps which can take as much time (and require other tasks too — like premium content creation etc.). How did you manage that aspect?

Dear Todd,
Thanks very much for the informative and candid reporting on your results. Can you tell us the length of your average post, and approximately how much time per day or week you invested to achieve these results? Also, any tips in hindsight on how to stay productive in your blogging efforts given such a busy blogging schedule (anything you would do differently now that you have gone through this)?

Todd, Great post. Weekly blogging also provides the discipline that’s required if you’re going to be really successful. My leads are now 3-4x greater then what they were a year ago. Can you please speak to the time commitment involved, and also how many words your average post was, and if you found if that made a difference at all?

In one experiment, I spent months collecting a variety of what I considered to be the “best” Facebook advertising examples (shameless link here: http://info.laura-kinoshita.com/blog/bid/60126/12-Great-Facebook-Ad-Examples), which immediately got more inbound links than the previous 2 months of blogging, but it also took four times as long. And, to keep the weekly pace up, I had to blog on Saturdays, and that got to be a bit tedious.

So, please speak to how you balanced writing high quality posts with your time.

Hi Todd,
Great results. I’m glad to see that others are seeing the same sort of results we are getting from our blogging.

We did a similar experiment recently. We stopped blogging for a couple of weeks and then went back to normal. Our rankings dropped quickly when we stopped blogging, and came back just as quick when we started again. You can see our results in this post: http://www.more-business-online.com.au/blog/surging-to-the-top-of-the-search-rankings

We also haven’t got any direct business from our website yet. It has led to increased brand recognition to the point where we have gained some new referral partners and also some referral business from these partners.

It’s great when you meet someone at a networking event and they say “I’ve heard of your company”. Another example of how blogging works.

Best of luck with your inbound marketing.

Cheers,
Ken

GREAT POST.
I would like to featured here on Tresnic Media,

Great post and very helpful to have hard numbers to back up the value. Thanks for sharing!

With respect to “Informative Blog Posts Saves On Customer Service Time”, this is a really good point. Many companies use communities for customer support for exactly this reason but if a community isn’t appropriate or you’re just not there yet, a blog used this way is a great alternative.

Thanks Todd for giving us direct results and surely I would follow the same…

Like everything else ,don’t forget the results are greatly affected by the quality of the blogs and where they are placed . When he hired a cheap servcie the results were awful . When we did them ourselves the results were great .

Todd,

Thanks for the article. Nicely written and should motivate most anyone to blog consistently!

Ive been posting lots of blogs recently, but I can’t seem to trigger comments below my blogs. I also can’t seem to trigger people to want to join the site as quickly as I want to. People are leaving a few comments, and I get a few people signing up..just not as much as I’d like. Any suggestions?

Blogging it is one of the signal that shows Google we are active online. It’s so simple, you spend time blogging or do some social networking, Google will reward you.

Make sense ? Yes to me !

I think Todd, you touch a sensitive subject mentioning “Informative Blog”

Thanks for great article.

This post is really good and well formed but I am little bit confuse about blog post that where is it done, in website’s blog or in different guest blogging sites.

Thanks for sharing this chart Todd. I think it’s great. I’m a brand new blogger – still learning a lot. This really helps boost my confidence that if I stick with what I’m doing, I’ll be able to contribute to the online world and also build a profitable business. That chart is just the kind of proof I like to see. 🙂 Thanks again!

I too struggle to get comments on my blog. I am trying to blog 3 x a week. Having six kids my time is kinda limited. Perhaps you could offer suggestions for my site to be improved Todd?

Amazing article Todd, congratulations

It is really hard to make 50 post in 25 days. I am impressed because your users grow was solid and stable. With no doubt one the best e-marketing experiments I have seen in long time

Keep working like that!

Great article!
I inadvertently did the same thing on one of the blogs I work on and got pretty much the same results. Sometimes I posted more than one article and most of the time I had only one, but I always put up at least one thing. I did it to primarily keep my site in front of readers so they wouldn’t forget it, and it’s worked so far. So it’s great to see your work quantified!

Hi Todd! I could say that you are a toilsome blogger. I am amazed with the time and effort you exerted in making these contents. I want to be like you. You showed us the importance of content marketing. I just want to know if you hire a writer or it is only you who are accomplishing all of the contents. Do you have any time table in writing this? Would you mind if I request certain topic for your next post. If yes can you please write more marketing strategy that will help us bloggers to gain back links. Thank you.

Thank you, you have inspired me as a Maine Wedding Photographer, to try blogging twice a day. Did you schedule your posts to help save time. Hope you’ve noticed a bit more buisness since first publishing this article. How long is your sales cycle?
