1. Content will reviewed before published (2,000+ words and full of awesome and references)
   1. think EPIC, EPIC, EPIC content! (that is what will get it shared the most)
   2. We as a team can promote and share it if it’s epic and if it’s “BRIDGE” to empower is solid (optional but preferred for team involvement) ex1 and ex2
2. You will build the content right here on the site (do not send me your article)
3. Fill in the Greg’s High Performance SEO (replaced by THEME SEO Settings) below
4. Tags and Featured Image 
5. Get More Tags 
6. Did you get over 70% SEO Score? (Stick your keyword in Primary Keyword)
   then shoot for over 70% using Primary Keyword, Analysis, On-Page (Title, Url, Meta, Heading, Content)
   
7. You get ONE backlink within the body and one blog link in the signature (when you setup your profile)
8. Reference out To Build Fasters – Link out and REFERENCE as many sites as you can, that add value to your articles. Then you can ping them on facebook/twitter that you connected and referenced their materials. In doing so you many will reciprocate and send you a ping and send their traffic to you. (ex: here when I wrote about them here)

   ***Rule of thumb 1 Reference PER 300 words you write***

   1. The MORE references to small and medium sized websites, blogs, authors, Facebook pages, twitter account.. the BETTER chance you can “reach out to them”. Don’t ask for anything. Just say you referenced them in your current blog post www.xyz.com/?id=username and that you appreciate their work.
   2. Depending on their support/size/kindness… they will decide if they want to LINK BACK to your article, and syndicate to their OWN networks. This is how I got (bankrate.com, surveymonkey.com, wpengine.com, the author of a book (bob burg)…) to reciprocate a backlink and send me traffic.
   3. If you reference them make sure you REFERENCE.. not just “MENTION”… discuss what they did and give them spotlight and utilize what you referenced. This will increase your chances of them coming back to you with traffic.
   4. Aim for 1 out of 5 to come back and respond, give you traffic, or just say hello to you. Build a relationship… (maybe you can GUEST blog for them)
   5. My personal goal is to have over 5 external references that I can personally contact with twitter + facebook + email.
   6. Outreach Template (twitter, facebook, email) this was an approach I’m studying and implementing by okdork on outreach

Why Do This? (Cause It Works)

I doubled my traffic 16 days vs 16 days before that with 2 Blog posts.

This is the foundation to the team blog and then having the ability for our teams and customers to utilize our “Authority Content” to build their own traffic and leads while they blog on their own and drive other forms of traffic.

Author vs Promoter, Checking Links, and Syndication

1. Facebook
   1. Facebook profiles (your own wall)
   2. Facebook groups (if they are active, if not… might be worthless)
   3. Facebook page
   4. Facebook notes write a quick 100 word pre-frame leading into the article with image WITH your ?id=username
2. Google Plus
3. Twitter
4. Linkedin
5. Pinterest (make sure to LINK the image, do 1-2 per day)
6. reddit (verify your account so you can do multiple submissions a day)
7. stumbleupon
8. digg
9. email your list(s)
10. short short videos on Youtube (over 30seconds long that then call to action in description with link to YOUR ?id=username). Think movie trailer
11. Empower blog small snippet preferred to have a contextual link. That’s a LINK YOU can click with keyword. you can pinpoint a keyword in an article if it’s bold.
    1. check out this blog about “Reasons to go to college“
    2. see how i made Reasons to go to college linked to the blog with keyword “reasons to go to college”
12. Instagram
13. Quora (be careful about dropping link, only if link provides value to the question)
14. Yahoo Answers (same as quora)
15. Forum marketing (same as quora)
16. Slideshare (build presentations like in 15k quickly and backlink back to article with your ?id)
17. Blog Comments (same as quora, value driven, not spam)
18. Other tools like tribepro, trafficgeyser, autosyndications, Social monkie, hootsuite….

I’m not joking.The 80/20 rule of content marketing (blogging)

So I would repeat this process PER day… every day as much as you can (if you are getting throttled like reddit will slow you down and not let you post til the next day even if you confirmed your email… just take a breather and come back.)I personally try and syndicate daily .. .SOMETHING… and i’ll start with most recent and work back

-sites like reddit, stumbleupon only need ONE link so you can’t go back to that well….but google plus, twitter, facebook, list, linkedin…. you can just change up the language and STILL point back to the article

The content is going to be awesome and you will WANT to get this content in front of your audience… in ANY platform.

Make A Post About YOU. This will be another point of contact people get to know YOU… Wanna know why people spend money with you? It’s your “clout and authority” in the niche. Profile pages like this can be reference in your articles to build authority.
