180 Blog Posts in 365 days - Is it Possible?
It has been a bit since my last longer type of blog post here at WA. The last month and a half have been a very busy period. After completing my 30 days funnel building challenge, looking back on it, it felt like being back in basic and advanced training again in the armed forces. The challenge had a very tough schedule with time-consuming tasks, but what I have gained in knowledge and competence is mind-boggling to me. As a consequence, I have adjusted some of my goals in a detailed and long term plan.
180 Blog Posts in 365 days - Is it Possible!
Yes, you heard me right and I have not gone mad, but I am going to write and publish one blog post each day, for the next year. They will be primarily published on my primary niche website, in the MMO niche, but I will frequently publish on Medium as well. Medium is a writer´s platform.
How am I going to achieve this? I am going to use Nathaniell´s super recommendation on content creation, and I will need to fill my keyword vault for the next year. But I also think that a key element to achieving my goal is to take the spur of the moment to write. That means writing about whatever comes to mind.
When does the 180 day´s of blogging start? I am building writing momentum during the last days of December and the launch date is 1st January 2021.
Scheduling for Affiliate Marketing Success
Schedule and logging of activities are crucial to success. Jim Rohn´s mantra was to write a journal every day. I have re-adjusted my daily schedule on 1st November. I am getting up at 5 AM, and that allows me to read for half an hour, and then getting in half an hour of drafting blog posts. For one week, that results in three and half hours of creating content each week.
If that is not enough, the content of these blog posts will be used as the basis for podcasts and the other way around, transcribing podcasts I make and publishing them as blog posts.
I have a plan to make one podcast each week about my journey as an affiliate marketer.
Taking Uncomfortable Action
The uncomfortable action of having taken the funnel challenge has kicked-off necessary steps to succeed further in the next years to come. Remember to form my earlier post about my long term goals, I have a date firmly set five years into the future that I am diligently working towards.
The uncomfortable steps I have taken the last 6 weeks are the following:
- Identifying and admitting to my deepest fear of success
- Doing video for the first time (for my first funnel)
- Creating my first funnels
- Publishing my first podcast (how strange to listen to my own voice 😃)
- Creating my own Youtube channel (no content yet)
- Adding Tik Tok as one of my social media platforms
- Publishing articles on Medium, and getting my first small commission from it
- Joining several FB groups relevant to my niche.
Some Final Words
All in all, the progress in the last two months have in fact been very good. Now, it is time to put all the acquired knowledge into production.
I think that pretty soon I can start calling myself for a knowledge broker 😄.

You are doing great Roy. You build a good foundation. I heard your podcast and it was great. You can totally manage to write 180 blogposts if you put your mind to it. Writing a journal every day is a great habit. I have not started any funnels yet. Too early for me. Looking forward to follow your journey and learn from you.
Thank you, Hilde😊. The support from you and all the other WA members is crucial to me. Without the motivation to keep going would have a lot more difficult.
Roy
Roy, these are awesome achievements!
Congratulations on all that you have achieved thus far.
I know that you will succeed in your endeavours.
I have not started the funnel building, YT or TT.
I am with you on everything else, including the podcast.
I love Medium!
I must give WA credit for re-kindling my love of writing and taking it into many directions.
Medium feeds my critical-thinking and creative mind and I absolutely LOVE it!
The blog a day is definitely achievable and with the discipline you have, I know you will achieve it.
I am achieving that, sometimes 2 per day (excluding WA).
Perhaps we can tag each other and keep the motivation up.
Please keep us updated.

Cassi, thank you for your super encouragements :-). When I discovered Medium, I was amazed by the platform. And as you the discovery of enjoying writing is all due to WA.
I am with you 100% on tagging each other to keep the motivation going 😃👍🏼.
Updates will come on a weekly basis.

Hello Roy,
I hope you're doing well and business is good.
It looks like you have been very busy and have great plans ahead.
I find that once I get in a routine of writing blog posts, it becomes much easier and quicker. The problem comes when I get out of routine! (I try not to get out of routine!)
I believe that you will achieve your goal and with the right mindset, it's doable. I like to try and be up at 5 AM in the morning as I feel I can achieve a lot in the first part of the day.
Wishing you every success with your goals and plans.
Roy
Hi, business I following the overall plan for 2020, with some exceptions. I agree wholeheartedly with you on the getting in and out of habit. If the routine gets disturbed, it can be difficult to get back in.
All the best for 2021, Roy!
