Last Thursday was another marathon class and I’m learning to prepare for them by getting my glass of water, taking care of BR needs (don’t want to miss any of the class . . maybe that was more than you wanted to know), having my notebook and pens handy, etc.

Alex is using a contest to light a fire under us to take action . . . and an effective one at that! $1,000 goes to the person with the most traffic by January 1st.

The rules are simple; we have to show results using Google analytics and write on our blog about how we’re getting traffic to our site.

So, here’s my plan:

  • Use my kitchen timer to work in time chunks.
  • Use Gary Simpson’s Time In Motion Action Planner
  • Write on my blog what I plan to do that day and a goal for the week.
  • Visit the blogs of my class mates to find out what they’re doing, answer any questions I can and just generally leave a comment that is helpful in some way.
  • Search keywords in Youtube on getting traffic and list building.
  • Use Word Tracker or another keyword tool to find out what keywords people are using to learn more about getting traffic and then using them in my post titles and articles.
  • Join a forum on internet marketing, create a good signature file and leave comments that are helpful.
  • Write a Squidoo lens on how to get traffic to your web site or blog.
  • Write a Hub page on the same topic.

Whew! That should keep me out of trouble for a couple of hours :)

I’ll check back in later today and let you know what I’ve accomplished.
