1. What is the 100-Post Milestone?

Publishing 100 posts as fast as possible, quality aside The point where 100 published posts start compounding traffic on their own Getting 100 comments on a single post Writing 100 headline variations for a single post before publishing anything

4. What is the Update Cycle?

Deleting old posts every quarter A quarterly system for refreshing your best posts Changing your blog’s design four times a year Republishing the same post on social media

Write even more brilliant posts whenever inspiration happens to strike Protect a weekly writing block and publish consistently Hire a PR firm to promote the four posts Make each of the posts much longer and more detailed

6. A new post gets 20 visits on publish day, then flatlines. What is most likely missing?

A longer word count A fancier blog theme Distribution More keywords stuffed into the text

7. Long-tail traffic means…

one viral post bringing a flood of visitors paid ads targeting as many keywords as the budget allows many specific posts each bringing a few high-intent visits old posts slowly losing traffic

8. Which post is evergreen?

“This Week’s Marketing News Roundup: Everything That Happened” “Our Company Wins Local Business Award at This Year’s Ceremony” “How to Choose Between Two Pricing Plans: A Buyer’s Checklist” “My Predictions for Next Quarter and the Year Ahead”

9. Why write the first draft ugly on purpose?

Because readers prefer messy writing Because editing software will fix it later Because writing and editing use different brains Because short posts rank better

10. A question scores 3 on frequency and 3 on buying intent. What should you do?

Skip it — popular questions are too competitive Save it for next year Write it first — nines are your highest-traffic, highest-converting posts Turn it into a social post instead
