Here's The Checklist I Follow When Creating My Blog Posts
In my previous post I explained about the success I have had by following things I have learned here are Wealthy Affiliate.
Over the years I have accumulated a "Checklist" that follows key things one should do when creating a new article for their website.
Some of these are covered in the WA training, and some are covered in lessons others here have graciously shared.
I currently operate over 100 websites, 56 are active and generating income, the rest are "works in progress".
When I create a new website, I have a few "must have" plugins that I always install, and one of them is "PublishPress Checklists"
This plugin let's you create a "checklist" that you can refer to whenever you are creating a new post.
I use it to help me remember pertinent things that I want to include in EVERY article that I post.
The plugin is very easy to use, so I won't bore you with information on how to set it up. Simply install, and fill in the blanks.
Here's the checklist that I follow for all of my websites, thus far this has proven to be super successful when it concerns' google ranking my articles very well.
Especially when following the "low hanging fruit" lessons taught here. I have found over the years that I need not worry when google makes changes, simply because, low hanging fruit keywords, followed by these sound practices, has shown that my sites continue to rank well regardless.

If one were to follow these key steps, and of course find some great low hanging fruit keywords, then they will NEVER be disappointed with their results.

Hi Rudy I use several webhosting companies but I do love WA here for everything else. The hosting here is AWESOME also, but I usually have tons of data and have never really tested the limits here. For basic content blogs and online stores, WA is great, but many of my websites are more intense where I need access to more advanced hosting features for my programming.
Absolutely love it Maria! But... 56 active websites??
That is seriously impressive my friend!!
All the very best moving forward with all of your endeavours!! :-)
Thank you Jessie, honestly, 56 is not as many as I want :) I spend most of my time delegating tasks and focusing on SEO and programming.
Anyone here can also maintain that many websites, all of the training that an individual needs is provided here. The delegation comes with some creative use of some great wordpress plugins.
The PublishPress checklist is one of those I use to help authors stay on track when they are publishing for one of my websites. I make ALL of those key points required, they cant post if they don't have all of those key things in every article they write.
Delegation is certainly key here Maria!
Sounds like you have everything well under control my friend! :-)

One site and it kicks my butt pretty badly. I just spent 2 weeks agonizing over pinterest to get some 40 pins scheduled...OK maybe a bit more that 40., but still. Yesterday I think I spent 1 hr to fix a template that was already done, but I needed to adjust so the title is displayed properly. I would not know what to outsource at this point and how to find somebody trustworthy. And there is the money aspect - I don't want to spend more money until I can see some movement...
