Breaking Free
Experiments in tech entrepreneurship
This is day 30 of my 30 day marketing challenge, to demonstrate that blogging can be a profitable and inexpensive business to start.
By the way, please continue to Digg this article on how to generate good business ideas. It’s starting to get some attention!
My three tasks for the day are…
1. I added the site to Illumirate
2. I added the site to Mavicanet
3. I added the site to http://www.athomedirectory.com/
These are all just other website directories that are less well known than Yahoo or DMOZ. To be honest, it is day 30 and I have been having a hard time finding new marketing ideas!
In retrospect, I think 30 days is enough time to spend getting a bunch of SEO and link building done to the point where I can now focus on just posting good content to this website.
The foundation has been built. Tomorrow I will make a post concluding this experiment and showing some of the results.

Brian,
Do you think it best to develop content OR marketing first?

Hi Shelley, good question. I think the best is a blend, where you create content while building up marketing. It does no good to create killer content and then start marketing later because (1) posts have a shelf life in blogs and are quickly filed back into obscurity meaning no one will see them, and (2) SEO takes some time to build up.
At least that’s how I did it. The marketing WAS the content (at least some of it).
