Changes to the blog
New format for the blog
In an effort to drive this blog forward and make it better for everyone reading
it and to get more interactivity I have decided to take a leaf out of Leo’s
book over at zenhabits.net and introduce
a specified topic for everyday. This will help me make the blog more
focused and give readers, I hope, a better experience.
This will of course mean there should be a new post every day. there
will be gaps from time to time as time os at a premium just now but I am as
devoted to the blog as ever.
Looking for guest authors
I have contacted a few bloggers and asked them to guest post for me and vice
versa. This is to diversify the range of writing and to build up a wider
network of bloggers.
If you would like to become a guest author on this blog please contact me
on (enquiries at stevenaitchison.co.uk). I am looking for quality and
bloggers who have built up a good reputation.
There will be some exciting posts over the coming months from some well known
bloggers and I look forward to introducing you to them.
Topics for each day
The following schedule will be the one I am using for the next few months. This
should give me time to evaluate how it is going.
Monday – Star post of the week.
I have used this in the past and have introduced readers to some great posts
and great blogs. I would like to continue this on a permanent basis. I
would love it if you could nominate some posts for this award.
Tuesday – Productivity
I am getting more into this topic of late and think it would be a good idea
to pass on some tips.
Wednesday – Making money
A topic I love and love writing about. This will be everything about
making money online or offline and about saving you some money.
Thursday – Health
Everything to keep you healthy from your physical health to your spiritual
health.
Friday – Tips for a better life
Continuing the series of tips for a better life. this is quick tips to
instantly improve every area of your life.
Saturday – Weekly roundup
This will roundup the week for the blog. Giving some love to people who
have linked to me, my best posts, some news and anything else that has happened
in the week.
Sunday – Relationships
Everything relationships from parenting to social interactions.
Goals for June 2007 – December 2007
Of course there will be the same quality writing every day but I have a few
goals for the blog and you can help with the goals by doing what you always
do; comment, make suggestions tell me what you like and don’t like.
My goals are ambitious but attainable, I believe.
- Increase RSS subscribers by 100 people every week. So by the end
of the year I would like to see the subscriber base sitting at 3000 – 4000. - Write over 150 quality posts
- Have 15 guest posts from guest authors
- Have more input into the PBN as
I have neglected this of late. - Increase earnings from blog to over $500 - $800 per month
Your suggestions
I would also welcome any more suggestions on how to move the blog forward
and make it better for all readers.

Comment by Today is that Day on 5 June 2007:
Steven,
I’d be happy to do a guest blog for you! I would have sent you an email, but I thought that other people might have this same question, so I’m putting it out there in the comments instead:
With the posting schedule that you listed, are you wanting your guest bloggers to send you material that covers those subjects? For me, that’s perfect because I use plenty of my own creativity coming up with topics for my 3 blogs.
Once I have a designated topic, however, I can bust out that creativity again in order to come up with some quality content about that subject.
Shoot me an email or just drop a response here in the comments if you want to share the answer with everyone.

Hi Aaron
Thanks for the question and putting it in as a comment.
I would be looking for guest bloggers to cover one of the topics listed above. This way it slots into the schedule.
I would love a post from yourself, your writing style would fit perfectly with this blog.
Look forward to hearing from you.
