Hey everyone,
It's about time I started a thread of my own, not counting the introduction. And what better way than documenting my journey as a beginner who never set up a profitable website and wouldn't know how to set up a paid campaign? I'm sure it will be an interesting read with a blend of A-HA moments and self-doubt. Though I'd rather see more of the former.
More importantly, I can be a terrible procrastinator whenever I don't feel enough pressure to complete something. I believe writing about my activities will help me stay accountable because the community is expecting an interesting journey and I don't want to disappoint.
Well then, let's get started...
Baseline:
One niche site is set up (Wordpress, plug-ins, content, on-site SEO) and ready for promotion. The site targets 3 keywords that receive a total of approximately 29,940 searches per month.
My profile on AffiliateFix is incomplete. I am seriously considering uploading an avatar, but I'll probably wait for my sexy AffiliateFix.com hoody to arrive before taking a nice picture.
Hopes and Dreams:
My 2014 goal is to get to $1,500 per month by the end of June, so the same goal applies for this thread. How many sites I end up owning or how many paid campaigns I start is not relevant as long as that number is reached.
Methods:
Starting out with SEO. Will transition to paid traffic at one point, but I currently resist the idea of investing money to make money because I used to have a gambling problem and don't want to end up chasing losses. I'll reconsider paid traffic later.
