Activity

It sounds like a great list! Very organized and specific, and as you mentioned, lots of work. Just make sure that your schedule is doable and attainable w/o burning yourself out. As Minetor said earlier, pick the things which you enjoy doing the most, and then incorporate the boring but essential stuff into those efforts. So, for your videos and art, just include the SEO tactics which can help it be found in search.

I like the idea of ThrowbackThursday. You can use Google Analytics to see which social media platform is sending “referring” you the most traffic. And social media may actually be a great way to get the engagement you are looking for.

Oh! Pinterest! Do you have a pinterest account? It could be a great way to get some traffic and share your work. Easy to set-up, almost no maintenance so it won’t take extra time after you set it up. It is perfect for sharing your art and videos because it is simply a collection of images which people can share and collect to their account. Here is mine for an example:

I think you’re right about having more than one site being too much…I’ve thought about it several times, tried starting a second one once, and have decided to just do the one simply because, like you, I don’t have the time. So I do the things I enjoy researching, and then incorporate the SEO into that and hope that some of my work will rank.

I’ve often thought about setting a schedule such as: week 1 I do articles, week 2 I do a video, week 3 I focus on SEO maintenance/learning, etc.. But my current routine is to skip around based upon what I want to work on…and keep a list of the things which I know need to be done and just try to pick one of those each month to work on. Sometimes its SEO, sometimes its a necessary but exceedingly boring article, sometimes its a very labor intensive project.
