Roadmap For New Bloggers 1-1-Min

ROAD MAP
FOR NEW
BLOGGERS
WELCOME
One of the hardest things we had to do when we first started our blog was figuring out
"what was next". Because we were completely new to the blogging world (and did not
take the time to invest in ourselves), we ended up wasting a lot of time!
This is why we decided to create this roadmap. As a new blogger, we want you to know
exactly what to do every step of the way. This new, redesigned roadmap will walk you
through which parts of the course you have to complete as well as the action items that
you have to do along the way.
Although the course itself takes 6-7 weeks to complete, we decided to create you a
customized year-long plan to help you grow your blog with clarity and purpose. If you
follow this roadmap to a tee, you WILL see results.
WHAT TO EXPECT: THE RESULTS

After going through this course, these are the following things you should expect to
have accomplished:
You will have a completely new mindset about your blog (#FastLaneBloggerMindset)
You will launch your brand new blog (using our Launch Plan and Wordpress videos)
You will learn Affiliate Marketing and how to apply it to your blog
You will learn SEO and how to get repeat traffic from Google
You will learn the skills behind Trust Marketing so you can create an automated
email marketing strategy
You will start building your email list
You will launch your first Affiliate Machine around an Authority Pillar (1 pillar post,
7-10 sub articles)
Once you have accomplished all of these, you are well on your way towards your
mission which is exactly what this roadmap is for.
We have outlined a step-by-step path for you to...
Build an Affiliate Machine So You Can Profit from Your

Passions and Achieve Time Freedom.

NEW BLOGGER PIT STOP
This Pit Stop is only for brand new bloggers. If you do not have your blog set up yet, this is
for you.
By now, you should have already finished Module 1 and identified your Blue Ocean... now
comes the fun stuff - actually getting your blog online!
Following the bonus lessons that are given to you in this course, we want you to begin
setting up your blog.
Use the BONUS lessons in the 7-Day Fast Lane Launch Plan as well as the Wordpress Video
Vault to guide you on what to do. By the end of this Pit Stop, you should have bought
hosting (this is where your blog lives), chosen a theme, and created your About Me, Contact,
and Legal pages.
Once all of those are done, you should be ready to "launch your blog". Remember, without
you sharing your blog, no one will find it yet. Launching it is just so that Google starts
recognizing your site. We purposely don't ask you to write any articles just yet as we want
you to go through Modules 2 and 3 first.
We want to make sure that you take the time to learn how to write awesome SEO-optimized
affiliate articles. This is something a lot of bloggers DON'T DO so they end up wasting a lot
of time writing articles that won't drive traffic (and money) to their blogs.
We also recommend that you purchase a premium theme from the get-go! The one-time fee
of $35-$60 will save you TONS of time in the long run! Find a theme you love and don't try
to customize too many things. You got this!
Pit Stop Targets

MONTH 2
Secondary Focus: Complete Action Pit Stop 1
Fast Lane Targets

During the second month, work your way through Weeks 5-6 of the Blogging Fast Lane,
learning the concepts related to Search Omnipresence and Affiliate Marketing.
Once you've completed these lessons, we want you to complete your first Action Pit Stop.
Details of this Pit Stop can be found on the next page. As a brand new blogger, this is an
exciting time because now you can put together all the new skills you've just learned on
SEO and Affiliate Mastery.
If you're having trouble writing, remember that writing, just like anything else, is a skill. The
more you do it, the better you will become. Remember to focus on providing valuable
content that is solving a user's problem.

REFLECTION PIT STOP


ACTION PIT STOP 1
In this Action Pit Stop, we want you to focus on building one pillar in your Authority Fortress.
You would have already completed your Authority Fortress plan during the lessons, and now
it's time to start creating the content for it.
Focus on building one pillar at a time, starting off by writing 1 pillar post and at least 5 sub-
articles underneath. This Pit Stop should roughly take two weeks to implement.
Remember to use the SEO Cheat Sheet (located in the Fast Lane Playbook) to make sure that
all the articles that you produce are SEO-optimized. This can be found in Module 2 resources.
Once you have your 1st pillar and 5 sub-articles on your blog, you are now ready to launch
your new blog and share it with the world! This is an EXCITING TIME as you can now get
feedback from your friends and family.
Remember, your blog is (and always will be) a work in progress. There is no such thing as a
perfect blog! The most important part of your blog is the content so make sure you take the
time to create detailed articles using all the skills you've just learned.
At this point, DO NOT worry about including affiliate links in your articles just yet. Most
affiliate programs need at least 5 articles to see if they will approve you to join their
program. You will optimize your articles with links in Action Pit Stop 2 so for now, focus on
just writing.
Pit Stop Targets
Write 1 pillar article
Write at least 5 sub-articles
Get feedback from the Fast Lane Family. Post your blog in this thread
Share your new blog on your personal or business social media pages (if you have
one). Remember to ask for feedback! Ask your friends to comment, share, and let
you know what they love about your articles and new blog.
Over the span of a few weeks, continue sharing your articles across your social
media pages. Start with your pillar article, then schedule and share your sub-
articles after.

MONTH 3
Secondary Focus: Complete Action Pit Stop 2
Fast Lane Targets
Your focus for this month is to complete creating related sub-articles around your 1st
Authority Pillar. Follow the instructions in Action Pit Stop 2 which will be explained in more
detail in the next page.
After this is done, complete Weeks 7-8 of the Blogging Fast Lane Accelerator course which
will walk you through how to set up your Trust Marketing system.
This is an exciting time because it means that you will be able to start applying for affiliates
AND growing your email list!

REFLECTION PIT STOP


ACTION PIT STOP 2
Before moving on to finishing weeks 7 and 8 of the course, we want you to continue
building your Authority Pillar.
Your first step is to begin applying for affiliates. Go through the Affiliate Black Book and find
relevant affiliate partners for your Blue Ocean. Take a look at other blogs in similar Blue
Oceans and study the products that they promote. If you can, prioritize any high-ticket
affiliates ($30-$50+ commission per sale).
Some affiliates might take some time to get approved; meanwhile, we want you to start
creating content.
We want you to focus on creating at least 5 more relevant sub-articles for your first
Authority Pillar. This way, you will have at least 1 Authority Pillar and 10 articles on your
blog. As usual, use the SEO Cheat Sheet to help you produce SEO affiliate articles that will
support your pillar article.
Once you have been approved for a few affiliate programs, begin optimizing your articles
using the skills that you learned in our Affiliate Mastery Module. Use buttons, tables, and
proper call-to-action words to get your readers to click on your links and buy.
Once you have your articles ready, you can begin interlinking them together, using the
strategy we outlined in Search OmniPresence (lesson name: Building an Interlinking Strategy).
Again, this Pit Stop should roughly take two weeks to implement. After you finish, go
straight to finishing the rest of the course.
Pit Stop Targets
Start applying for affiliate programs related to your Blue Ocean
Optimize all your blog articles (including the ones you wrote in the 1st Pit Stop)
with affiliate links. Use your skills learned from the Affiliate Mastery module.
Start interlinking your articles to the pillar post and vice versa.
As you produce and publish each article, remember to share them across your
social channels!

MONTH 4
Primary Focus: Finish tasks from the Trust Marketing module
Link building
Get on Pinterest
Fast Lane Targets

In this month, your main focus is to to input your Machine Numbers and work on link
building to the content that you've just created in the last few months. For link building,
you can either do link swaps or guest posts to improve your blog's authority. Aim to write at
least 2 guest posts this month!
Use this time to also start applying the Pinterest strategies that you learned in the Pinterest
Explosion Course (found in the bonus section) to your blog. This means creating high-
quality pins for each article, joining repin threads, or tribes. This, combined with link
building, will help you drive traffic to your Authority Pillar.
Track your Affiliate Machine Numbers
Write at least 2 guest posts
Swap links

MONTH 5
Primary Focus: Link building and Pinterest
Fast Lane Targets

This month is for playing catch up with all the missed tasks throughout the last few months.
Use it as a checkpoint to see where you are and what you need to do.
If you're a brand new blogger, at this point you should have the following:
Launched blog
1 Authority Pillar (pillar article and 7-10 sub-articles)
Affiliate links on your articles
Pinterest pins
Value gift
Email automation
If you're missing any of these items, use this month to complete it so you can go full steam
ahead with building out the rest of your Affiliate Machine.
Write at least 2 more guest posts
Swap links
Create new pins for your articles

MONTH 6
Primary Focus: Fuel your machine (2nd Authority Pillar)
Fast Lane Targets
You are half-way into your Fast Lane journey, congratulations! For this month, your focus is
fueling your current machine by creating your 2nd Authority Pillar.
Focus on writing detailed, SEO-optimized affiliate posts to build your authority! Remember to
start with 1 pillar post on a topic, then follow it by creating at least 5 more sub-articles.
If you're not yet getting any organic traffic from Google, remember that this is normal. You are
most likely just now getting out of the Google Sandbox! The most important thing is that you
continue link building, guest posting, AND circulating your articles on Pinterest.
Write at least 2 more guest posts
Swap links
REFLECTION PIT STOP

MONTH 7
Primary Focus: Finish your 2nd Authority Pillar
Fast Lane Targets

This month, your focus is to finish the rest of your pillar articles for your 2nd Authority Pillar.
Remember, each Authority Pillar should have at least 7-10 sub-articles. Once you are done with
this, it is time to implement your Trust Marketing system on your 2nd Authority Pillar.
This means coming up with a value gift and email automation to help drive pageviews to the
affiliate articles that you are creating. You don't have to spend a long time creating your value
gifts. The important part is that you focus on solving a simple problem that your readers might
have.

MONTH 8

Numbers and work on link building to the content that you just created in the last few months.
Are people signing up for your email list? How are your open rates for your value automation?
If you have been following the roadmap, you should already be seeing some traffic using
Pinterest, social media, and Google (depending on your niche). During this month, continue link
building and working on Pinterest.
Check your open rates and email automations
Swap links
Write at least 2 guest posts

MONTH 9
Primary Focus: Fuel your machine (3rd Authority Pillar)
Fast Lane Targets

Your main focus this month is to start creating your 3rd Authority Pillar. You can do this by
writing your pillar post and creating at least 5 related sub-articles underneath. By this point,
you should have a solid understanding of SEO and how to find long-tail keywords for your
affiliate articles.
Make sure you identify the different stages of user intent and integrate that into your sub-
articles. Prioritizing high-ticket affiliates and making them more prominent in your blog's CTAs
should also improve your conversion.
Swap links

MONTH 10
Primary Focus: Finish your 3rd Authority Pillar
Fast Lane Targets
For this month, your focus is just fueling your current machine by creating more relevant sub-
articles for your 3rd Authority Pillar. Focus on writing detailed, SEO-optimized affiliate posts to

this point, focus on link building to the content you've created for your Authority Fortress.
In the next few months, you do not need to keep producing content but instead, focus your
efforts on optimizing what you have. Link build, promote, optimize, and use your time to keep
fueling your Affiliate Machine!
Focus on link building to all your pillars
Improve your relationship with your email subscribers!
