7. Strategize, automate, traffic

Robert Allen gives this piece of advice:

• Strategize your launch
• Automate everything
• Market for traffic

Sounds like excellent advice if you want to create and maintain a profitable blog.

The problem is, most bloggers are just content to "post" information on their blog. They don't do any strategizing, nor automating, nor marketing.

Strategizing means asking yourself: "What info do you provide? To whom? Why would they be interested in spending their valuable time reading your blog?"
