I just put up two new ad units for Neverblue Advertising on the right sidebar. I get the majority my CPA (cost per action) campaigns through them. In the next few weeks I will start tracking a few campaigns that I will be advertising for them. So if you want to follow along and create a similar campaign feel free to sign up and get access to their massive inventory of high paying campaigns.
I had no idea what kind of reception I would recieve when I first started this journey a week ago on April 1. I have found that everyone who’s commented and who I have talked to are very supportive of this journey to $10k a month. From day one everything was going great, the hits were rolling in from one of my posts which I submitted to Digg, people were commenting, and my adsense income was much better than I had expected.
Now after the first week, the blog has gained a bit of traction. Readers are becoming regulars, which is amazing, and coming back and checking for updates. New readers aren’t really making their way over here yet. This doesn’t bother me, because the site is still so new and not much backlinking has taken place.
What has me searching for a solution is the fact that my adsense income has dropped from where it was. I know that adsense is more unstable than Britney Spears, I went from $2.50 on day 2 to $0. This is actually a good thing, it is going to force me to work harder bringing up adsense earnings, and also building more stable income streams!
There is some ambiguity in my previous post about how I plan to achieve my goal of $10k a month. First let’s get two things straight!
Okay now that I’ve said that let’s move on.
Question: How do I plan on making the money?
Answer: I plan on creating multiple streams of income. Okay, that’s probably not the clear concise answer you are looking for. But that’s not what this journey is about. It is about testing and trying new things, and seeing which ones work. The ones that have potential I am going to invest more time and money into to, in hopes of creating highly profitable revenue streams.
Question: Any hints at what kind of systems I am going to try?
Answer: I do plan on focusing on increasing my traffic and backlinks at the beginning of this journey because those are crucial to readership. I also want to give domaining a shot; I have no experience in it so it is very interesting to me. I’ll give arbitrage a go as well as affiliate marketing.
However, I have not ruled out anyway of making money online yet (except things that fall outside my morals). I may even sell on ebay to complete my mission, who knows?
But now that I do have about $10 I am thinking of investing it in a domain name. That way I will be in control of all my content, and the site will actually be mine as opposed to google owning it through blogger. What do you guys think about using this month’s money towards a domain name? Also any suggestions on a domain name?
Now that I got my first goal complete, I’ve gotta start thinking about how I can double the money I made. Time to find a new revenue stream! Should I do some PPC ads for the blog to increase readership? Should I focus on publicity or building a different revenue stream all together like an affiliate campaign advertised on google adwords?
In keeping with yesterday’s momentum, this blog got it’s adsense clicked a bit more and bumped me up to a 2 day whooping total of $4.28. I don’t think I should get too excited and declare this a huge victory yet! There are still 11 months ahead of me with each one increasing by 100%.
I knew the first month would be pretty easy to take care of, but I didn’t think I would almost be there in the first 36 hours. You are the ones who helped me making it to my first mini milestone, thanks!
I’m by no means a super elite web baller by any means, and anyone without experience can do what I am doing. To see this check out my google adsense check from the last 4 months. It’s $109.48 if you can’t read the amount, that’s just over $25 a month (and thats between 4 sites). So basically for the past 2 days of starting this blog and employing adsense and common sense I am already on track to beat my average of $25 a month by more than double. I thought a Shoemoneyesque adsense photo was appropriate.
