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 2 Summary

What was planned / completed:

• I posted two new articles to the blog, including 100+ Blog Posts and Resources for Writers.
• I upgraded my Wordpress installation there.
• I updated the main meta tags.
• I added some Indeed job ads to the site to add another revenue stream.
• I added two new articles to ezinearticles with links back to the blog, and they’re waiting for approval (the two from the previous week were approved and are now live).
• I setup a simple writing jobs Squidoo lens for the blog.
• I contributed more than 5 comments with links to the blog on related blogs (no spammy garbage either – only participating in the actual discussions).

In addition to those things, which were already planned, I also:

• Added a resume section to the job board.

And here’s the plan for this week:

On-Site

• I’d like to get two more new unique articles added.
• I want to put up the job board TOS / instructions for posting.
• I plan to get the feed setup with feedburner and add an email subscription option.

Marketing

• I’d like to get another two articles posted to ezinearticles for the sake of getting some relevant traffic.
• I plan to add a few links to related blog posts on other blogs near the end of each post on the blog (beneficial to the readers, but also adds trackback links that can drive more related traffic to the blog).
• I’m going to offer a special deal / freebie for the first few people to post their resume / portfolio there after I post the instructions (so don’t post yours yet if you want to be eligible).
• I’ll comment on 5 – 10 more niche-related blog posts with links back to the site (with useful comments of course).

That’s it for this 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.
