In my first post I gave an overview of why I launched R. James Horne and my business model for making a profitable business from it. Today I’m going to tell you how I will prove to you that I am a world class Pro Blogger by working my way up to an Alexa ranking that is in the top 0.5%!
Now you’re probably thinking that I’m crazy and time will tell but it is better to aim for the top rather than to aim for the middle. This blog will be a profitable business someday. A brand that I will be proud of. The blog of choice for people who want to build a strong, useful blog or website. I will make a six figure income by blogging on the site.
I hope you decide to follow me in my journey. Fee free to comment and I openly invite guest posts with a link back to your site.
For a birds’ eye view, how do I plan to get top rankings? Here is my plan:
I will follow the “Third Tribe” principles of blogging that I am learning for Darren Rowse of ProBlogger, Brian Clark and Sonia Simone of CopyBlogger and Chris Brogan of ChrisBrogan.com.
Short-term action plan:
Add 1-2 posts everyday, seven days per week. These posts will be crisp, relevant content of 200-500 words that will chronicle my progress towards my goal of becoming a six figure blogger. They will be helpful for you in order to mimic my success.
Comment on 10 blogging or successful business blogs five times per week.
Invite guest posts and offer to post on other blogs.

Write, write write!

Content is all good James – and getting up to 10 or 20 indexed pages on a new blog is good too. But you don’t need to kill yourself blogging even every day never mind multiple times a day. The backlinks are far more important to get the site ranked. You have a nice writing style I think you will do just fine blogging but don’t burn yourself out trying to set an unrealistic editorial schedule – you just end up writing boring articles that bore you and your readers (not that I am saying you are – but that’s where it ends up!)
