Yesterday, I watched the whole Daniel Turner’s outsource method webinar conducted by Mark Ling once more and I’m amazed by how much I can learn from my second viewings of the webinar. In that video, Daniel Turner, an expert in outsourcing, talked about the importance of delegating your tasks through outsourcing and some of the best ways to do it. He then finished with the juiciest part of the webinar, his SEO outsourcing method. You can watch the whole webinar here. Before you watched it though, I need to warn you that this is the longest webinar I’ve ever been in, clocking in at 3.5 hours. So, if you only have half an hour to spare, you better do other things. Like, maybe, reading this post ^-^.
One part of the webinar that really caught my fullest attention is when Daniel talked about KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). KPIs are measurement tool that you use to analyze how effective your outsourcing efforts are. Say, if you’re doing SEO. This can mean how many back links your employee have generated for that month, how many blog comments he have posted, how many articles he have written, etc. If your employee performance is below the acceptable standard, then he should be fired.
This gets me thinking of how I can measure myself using the KPIs that Daniel talked about, to see if I’ve done a good job with this blog. As Daniel said, what gets measured, gets done. So I’ve come out with this list of possible things I can measured my efforts upon.
1. SEO (per month)
Number of social bookmark bookmarking you’ve posted
Number of directory submissions you’ve posted
Number of RSS submissions you’ve posted
Number of article submissions you’ve posted
Number of forum links you’ve posted
Number of DoFollow comments you’ve posted
Number of videos you’ve posted
2. Content Creation (per month)
Number of posts you’ve written
Number of articles you’ve written for article directories and tutorial sites
Number of videos you’ve created
Number of HubPages or Squidoo Lens you’ve created
Number of eBooks You’ve Created
3. Social Media (per month)
Number of tweets you’ve written
Number of followers you’ve gotten
Number of RSS subscribers you’ve gotten
Number of Email Subscribers you’ve gotten
Number of Youtube subscribers you’ve gotten
I’ll start measuring myself starting today, so the first result will probably come out next month. Anyone want to join me? Feel free to leave comments below or tweet it if you like it.

I already know what KPI is but do not know how to use it in blogging. And thanks for this article, I already have some description how to use KPI in blogging.
Our job can more focus if we have clear target such as KPI.
