The problem with success is that you no longer have time to work on your own “stuff”. if you’re working on marketing and sales, you aren’t getting client work done. And when things are hopping, you’re too busy working on client projects to bother with marketing.

To put it bluntly, you know the old saying, “do as I say, not as I do”? I am as guilty of that as anyone. I have a whole slew of articles on my website on every subject imaginable when it comes to writing copy or search engine optimization. But are they properly optimized for the search engines? No.

Have they been monetized at all? No.

Are they full of links designed to sell products and services or give away products that might lead to contacts? No.

So what am I going to do about it?

I have decided to take one article per week and rewrite it for all of these factors. I will also do a full SEO on that article. And I will tell you about what I’ve done to each of these articles. I figure this way I’ll be forced to get the work done.
