If  you’re following my progress on developing and then flipping eWritingJobs.com, here’s the week two plan (or read this on flipping websites to find out more about my process). But first, let’s see how I did last week:

Week 1 Summary

• I took a while to get around to my week 1 edits. Actually, I technically did them during week 2 (this morning). Last week I was preoccupied with a lot of client work, having to go out-of-state early in the week (so I lost a day), and preparing for my yearly holiday dinner party (which was yesterday).
• I did get the intro on the homepage updated.
• I also added one unique article to the blog. I plan to make my content value one of the bigger selling points when I sell this site, so I’m aiming for at least 500 words per unique post (since I charge a flat $200 for articles of that length, and it’ll make the “actual value” easier to calculate).
• I put two articles on ezinearticles, and they’re waiting for approval. Those will not transfer in any way to the site buyer (but I’ll keep the links in them). They’re pulled from info on some of my other related writing niche sites (including one being a post I put here earlier today), and include links both to eWritingJobs.com and my writing-related e-book.

And here’s the plan for this week:

On-Site

• I’d like to get two new unique articles added.
• I want to run the update to get that WordPress installation upgraded to 2.7.
• I want to update the main site meta tags – they’re outdated, and based on when the main feature of the site was a job board.
• I plan to incorporate some job ads into the site as an additional revenue stream.

Marketing

• I’d like to get two more articles posted to ezinearticles for the sake of getting some relevant traffic.
• I want to setup a Squidoo lens tied to the site.
• I’ll comment on 5 – 10 niche-related blogs with links back to the site (with useful comments of course – I’m a completely white hat type).

And I think that’s plenty for the week.  Check back same time next week to see if I reached these goals or not, and to find out what my next steps are in getting this blog ready for sale.
