yea man.

the twitter tactics worked too well Thursday.
I got retweeted to too many people rapidly and too much traffic hit the site. Which is a GREAT thing.

but i got my bgol on my server crashed

i was able to get it back up and running and it didn't mess up everything because people kept retweeting me today

but just an example of how you gotta be ON it.

if i hadn't checked the site out just for the sake of checking it i probably wouldn't have known AND it might have been down the entire night and the morning for east coaster..totally ruining momentum

Bluntbait would have actually been a good name.

Your first name is much better, anyone typing in bait is either a fisherman or pedophilejailbait

What was the metrics for January?

Bluntbit is gonna start rolling out the metrics. Will probably just post them every month in the 1st (screenshots of google analytics) with some details.

some apps to help manage your twitter accounts...such as mass unfollow for those not following u back

Right now, it's about getting it out there to the internet at large. That is the current focus. There aren't too many more things we're going to do to the site visually. there are a couple but no major overhaul like with the beta and what it is now.

The process of coming up with content is tedious there are a lot of steps and you have to get your "viral eyes" going.

Also when starting something like this.. be prepared to put in extra. It's been a month I think we're doing damn good for a month in but now its time for the growth.

I'm glad we have shown you growing pains and just tweaks and everything with building something like this. It's just beginning though.

Also been focused more on doing than informing and for that that's my bad.

I post on here as a release from the day to day and i had been slipping on providing updates here as opposed to just the launchfactors.com blog... which i think you guys should revisit because you see the pattern of the day to day things you HAVE to do that seem like they aren't much but are vital.

It's a fragile ecosystem. For instance. The content was getting into a good groove and the views were climbing. Something personal happened and I wasn't able to update with fresh content for a day.. and the views declined back to infancy..

just 1 day without new stuff can kill momentum. Thankfully we have been able to get it geared back in the right direction. Now is the audience. And look forward to sharing how that comes about.

It will happen, it's just a matter of when..personally I think all we need is to find that spark.. and it'll grow rapidly from there.

But that's where we are.

might want to look into a autoposter

http://www.nextscripts.com/social-networks-auto-poster-for-wordpress/

you can set it up to make daily posts and you can manually add new content

at least if u miss a day something new will come out regardless

is this only for WP only?, I see that it SAYS it supposed to work with other sites but when I click on the blogger link I see the WP code?

what's good?

 

[Spectrum]

We need to get this back on a good schedule. I've been extremely busy the last month or so....haven't been on bgol as much. I'm going to chat with largebills this weekend. He definitely has some progress to report.

 

[daman200]

I think Bgol members will have to drive traffic by reposting to facebook and twitter feeds

Not sure keyword research and Building links help these media content type of site

Seems the best source of traffic would be FACEBOOK AND TWITTER.

 

[soulcontroller]

Consistentcy is huge for a media startup one or two slow days can kill your momentum. Its hard competing with the other news site that can crank out 20 posts or more a day.

You could focus on quality over quantity then you will need quality writers and a defined niche/pov. Consider getting as many contributors as possible to assist.

Consider using repost for syndicated content. Media startups are tough but you have to define a clear approach and keep tweaking based off the results of your readers.
