Hey Bob. It’s really great to hear you taking such positive actions. I really hope it pays off in your blog launch. I’m not sure if you need a full 30 posts ready before your launch though. If you want to speed things along then 8-10 quality posts should be plenty.

Thanks for the great video, Tom.

This video caused me to stop the publicizing of my blog because I was making the very mistakes you mentioned. I stand corrected and thank you for it!

It’s obvious that you know what you’re talking about, so I am now getting my first 30 posts together, trying to redesign my blog and then I’ll do a 2 week pre-launch.

All the best
Bob

You always want to use your own domain, it appears way more professional than a free sub domain.

You’re welcome Chris! I’ve just emailed you with your membership coupon btw, sorry for the delay with that.

I’m glad you found my advice helpful. It was quite a lot to cram into a video and to be honest first video, I’m still getting used to the format of it all. Honestly though if you have any further questions about my points or need anything clarifying let me know :).

Thanks for the kind words Aniruddh! For your question do you mean a sub domain as in blogs.fanextra.com, or as in hosted on a free domain (e.g.: yourname.tumblr.com)?

Tom, thanks for answering the question! THere was some great advice. I think the prelaunch tips are great. I signed up for your prelaunch and have been very much looking forward to the launch – so it worked on me!

I can also see where personal engagement is crucial, especially with those first visitors. Thanks again!
