We learn in the training videos that we should focus on meaningful content. Content that will enlighten and inspire our readers to build organic traffic. We are also told of all the many ways we can publisize the content to attract more readers. What we do not spend a lot of attention to is how beneficial it can be to sandbag content.

As we have learned we can simple write 1 to 3 articles per week to be succussful. Early on in our affiliate career we have all the inspiration in the world to write 2 or more articles every day. After a while, we run out of things to write about, life starts to happen and we begin to slack off. Some Affiliates might put up the most basic content just to say they posted something. While others might not write anything for a few days so they can find something meaningful to write about.

After a while of not writing some may feel like they are not being productive enough. Others might forget about writing for a while then remember what they intended to do with their site. In all of those cases if we saved our extra articles for a later day we would have time to step away and get stuff done or go on a vacation. When you are not available to your site you should not be worrying about the quantity of content being updated on your site.

This is why I recommend we practice scheduling our posts for a later date. On a day when you have the motivation to write 2, 3 or even 5 articles you want to post date each article for the days to come. Alternatavely, you can save your posts in the Site Content section of the website tab.

By saving the articles they remain unpublished for a later day. Unfortunately, you have to go back and manually publish each article. If you want to publish an article everyday, you might miss a day because something came up. If you schedule a publish date, the article will publish automatically. Regardless of what you have planned or unexpectedly have to deal with later in the week, your article will be posted like clock work.

You can schedule an article by clicking the publish button, then selecting the edit post option from the popup window. Selecting this will take you to the site manager page where your post is located. This will give you the ability to edit any missed spelling errors, change fonts, text color, and much more.

On the top right you will see the time stamped publishing. If you click on that you can select the time you want your article published if you want it done later that day or you can select a new date and time if you want it to be published later in the week, later in the month, or even later in the year.

This helps if you want your articles to post by a specific time every day even if you sleep in. More importantly you can use this to set up for an up coming vacation. Another way you can build a strong foundation is to build up your comment requests. You can buy a request if you like, or if you want a free request you have to comment on 2 other articles.

To build yourself a good lead, you want to have 4 available requests to use for each post. Why am I recommending this? When you request more than 1 comment you unlock the option of how often you want a coment to occur.

Based on the training videos, you can get away with at least 1 comment per month. Starting out with a new site, I want my content to be viewed every week at the least. You may choose biweekly. Eitherway, requesting 4 comments would either get you 4 comments divided evenly over 30 days, or 4 comments divided evenly over 60 day.

Another tip to consider; have your new content spread over 30 days and your old content over 60 days. How old is old? If you wrote it last month you should use the 60 day spread. If you wrote the article more than 2 months ago you can set it up to have one comment every 30 days evenly divided over 3 or 6 months.

After a while all of your posts will be scheduled more than a week or two out for publishing, all of your published articles will have pending comments requested and almost every day you will have comments pending a reply. This set up allows you to simply reply to comments when you return to work or take your work with you and only reply to comments while you are out of town, on vacation, or simply not in the mood to write.

Instead of building something that need 4 hours of our attention every day, why not build something that can go a few days without us checking on it? Or even better, why not build something that can go a few weeks without us tending to it?
