I write 1-2 hours a day but I dont spend anywhere near that much time on distribution so this is a learning opportunity... would be great if you could help me understand the activities/tasks you undertake? What do you do to spend the 2 - 4 hours on distribution? Is this daily? Or per task/article??

sure, well there are two categories of activity: (1) no-money distribution and (2) with money distribution * No Money * You have to invest time. On all new projects I start here, even if I have a budget. That is because you can learn a lot more by "being on the ground" so to speak. Here are some activities you can do: - post on news aggregator sites like hacker news (there are lots of different ones that are niche specific) - post on social media. This will require you to build up your social media in the first place. This takes a lot of time if you are starting. - guest content for other peoples platform - finding similar, non competing people in your niche and create for them, link back to you. - Spend time writing and re-writing really helpful stuff. This helps with word of mouth. - hardest one - actually making friends. I have made many online friends over the years by taking an interest in them. Some of them are now massive. They sometimes distribute the things they like of mine - CRITICAL: a lot of people will read the above and think "okay, but he has a network...that is why it works", and they would be correct. But, and this is key, building a network is a skill. Learn it. When I said I spend 2-4 hours per day sometimes, these are the things I'm doing above. * With Money * - SEO - seo is very expensive. backlinks, promoted content, optimization - paid traffic to content - can start the budget low but need to be skilled in paid ads to make this work. - Paid media buys - for example paying for your content to be featured in someone else's newsletter. If they have a list of 50,000, as an example, you might pay $1,000 for that placement. If that same list was in the finance space, you might pay $30,000. It's contextual. Even though these paid strategies are paid, they still take time.
