As if I didn’t have enough on my plate with managing this website, bringing back to life a couple of old sites, doing the 2010 Challenge, taking part in the mentoring and starting to do more internet marketing coaching I started another mini challenge yesterday called the 5 day traffic blitz. But, although there’s a danger of creating some  internet marketing overwhelm again I not too worried about it as it’s only 5 days and it is related to what I’m already doing. It’s more of a strategy experiment than a wandering off in a new direction.

All my sites need traffic and I’m still working on nailing down the approach that works best for me. I have my article marketing ticking over nicely and my bookmarking by hand so now I’m looking for other things to add to the mix.

My taking part in the blitz came about because Jasons Katzenback and Potash opened up their Web 2 Mayhem membership for a 14 day $1 trial. I joined because I was curious to see what their strategy is, fully expecting to leave after 14 days. It’s a monthly subscription and I didn’t want to take on another one of those but I was so impressed with their product, support and expertise and with the community in general,  that I decided to stay on for another month. Especially as the 5 Day Traffic Blitz was looming.

Apparently, when Jason K asked the people who were not renewing after the 14 days why they weren’t doing so, the number one reason given was that they wanted faster results. Nothing new there then!

As a result they put together a “quick-start training designed specifically to get results within a few short days”. Since I was already using the tools and was very impressed with them I decided it was worth risking one month’s membership to see what I could achieve with the blitz.

Yesterday we got an introduction video which brought out 2 key points:

1. You need to already have a web site or page such as a Hub page, Squidoo lens, or Ezine article to promote. So it’s not for total newbies.
2. You need to allow 2 hours a day to work on this.

After watching the video I did some keyword and market research to determine which site/page I would be promoting, as from past results, the choice isn’t obvious.

I have chosen to promote a new affiliate product within a niche that I’ve had some success with in the past but I don’t, as yet, have a page up for it. So that will be the next thing to get done before the blitz proper begins later today. And, yes, before you ask I’ve already done my CFT blocks for today so this isn’t a diversion.

I will have to fit in today’s 2010 challenge lesson though.
