Default Congrats to Steve Madigan, the 2007 90DC champion

I just listened to the interview with Steve.

Congratulations, Steve.

I have some questions:
1. How many websites did you create for the 90 DC?
2. Did you use the Excel productivity chart exclusively or were there other things you used to keep you on track?
3. Did you just rewrite the 1st and last paragraphs of each article?
4. I am finding takes about 4 or 5 days to rewrite the articles, get a domain name, etc. before I get a niche up and running (I only ut up one so far). How long did it take you?
5. Did you submit your articles manually or use software?
6. Did you use Keyword Elite or other software for you keywords or did you take the ones right out of the niche pack?
7. Did you change the titles of all your articles?

Again, Well Done & Congratulations Steve

Default thanks

Well thank you and man that is a lot of questions. I am sorry to say, I can't answer them, because I can't give away my secrets. Ha, only kidding. I will try to answer them for you, lets see.
I did 12 sites, don't forget I have time, all day and I spent 12-14 hours a day doing this stuff and still do...
No the chart was the main thing. As I went along, i made excel charts to track which keywords I started link building for. Just a list to keep track, other than that, just the main chart.
I would rewrite first and last. Then sometimes the whole thing. I would rewrite 5-10 at a time, so it just depended on how I felt when I was rewriting. No set plan. It could take me up to 45 minutes to rewrite, but they were good when I was finished.
It took maybe a couple of days to be up and running from start to finish. Don't forget that time thing I had.
I would submit manually most of the time. I didn't have the money to buy any software at the time when I started. So I would submit to 5 of the big ones, plus plrpro's. It took 3 months to get buzzle approved.
I used the keywords right out of the box. Now I use some software to help me, but in the beginning nothing.
I always rewrote the titles and everything else. Tried to make them my own.
Well I hope that helped and answered all your questions,
Steve

Hey Steve,

What a pleasant surprise and inspiration to learn that you are the 90DC champ of 2007.

And thanks for answering all my questions. I have only one Wordpress site up( bad breath advisor), but I plan to enter the 90DC as soon I figure out why I can't connect with the installer.

You are very generous with your time and encouragement and have been a big help to me and I think you really deserved to win.

Thanks again for the answers to my questions and
go Champ.

Thanks.

Steve,


Let me add my congratulations for your accomplishment. I suspect it is only the beginning.

You inspired me to print out, tape together, and post right in front of me the entire 90 Day Challenge Work Plan. I have a daily check list I created in Excel, but it only lays out the tasks for each site for each day for 30 days. I've filled in the tasks on the wall chart that I have completed. I'm both encouraged and a little awestruck that you managed to do it. However, I accept it as a challenge.

I'm retired voluntarily, not at all like your involuntary "retirement". I have the time. Now I must DO IT!!!!

I was Skyping with Daniel this evening, and I told him I have a butterfly mentality. Flit, flit, flit. then I yell at myself, "Focus, focus, focus." Your success and the tips you gave will help me do so. Thanks for sharing about your success, and I expect to hear that it goes even farther.

Hi Steve,

Congratulations!
Your help on this forum and sharing of some of your "secrets" have always been a source of inspiration and help to me.
Thank you Steve.

Hi Daniel and Marc,
Please BAN this guy from any Plrpro challenges!
His emphasis on "I'VE GOT TO DO IT!" is awesome and he's GOT ALL THE TIME TOO! oh no...
