I made it because of a few things combined: more posting than usual, launching a contest, planning a new feature (the 12 days of Christmas feature), three newsletters that went out this week due to the amount of updates, and launching a new regular feature (the Freelance Fridays feature).

Obviously those things won’t happen every week, so we’ll see how it goes for a few more weeks before I decide whether to adjust the weekly goal or not. But for now, the system is really helping to remind me to diversify a bit, both in my posting and in my marketing. :)

Linkbait is a post that naturally attracts backlinks. Some people write them just for the sake of links (like fake news with sensational headlines). Others combine the link benefit with providing something useful for readers. Controversial posts are actually good linkbait, but I included them separately in the list because I use them often on some of my blogs, and it helps me keep track. Other kinds would be things like a list of 101 tips, a top ten list, an expose, an interview with someone really significant in your niche, etc.
