Keep Moving Forward
When you are planning on make a good idea into a great blog or web site, you need to make sure that you don’t slack off and let the tension go out of the line. What I mean is you need to continue to work on the blog on a daily basis. At the beginning of each week, I create a to-do list for the week for the promotion and content efforts of my various sites. There are some things that need to be done on a regular basis and there are new things that I try each week.
Here is a typical weekly schedule:

Things do not always work out and sometimes, things get missed. If I miss something on one of the days, I move that item to the next day (except the EntreCard tasks due to daily limits — missing a day is a lost opportunity). This can usually only be done once before there are too many things backed up in order to be able to catch up.
Every once in a while, I will dedicate a day to one particular thing that I think may be lacking, like using a day for reading and commenting only or using a day to write, write, and write some more.
Quality content and consistent promotion are the keys in promoting a web site or blog.
