My affiliate blogging journal
OK i know everyone is doing these threads these days but i feel it will help me to document everything publicly.
My goal
To make, consistently, $200 pm ($50pw) from blogs, within 2 years.
This is to be profit after expenses spent. I know it may seem like a small goal to many members but it is something i would be very happy with.
Strategy
I currently run slutsbukkake.com
I have learnt a lot from that and will continue to improve that. I also plan to launch another 4 - 5 blogs in niches i am interested in, and update them a few times a week each. I will also use free hosted blogs to develop micro niche blogs, much as other members who are good at making coin from blogging do.
Time & Budget
This is my main constraint. I will not bill out my own time as i class it as a hobby, and i plan to be able to spend 5 - 10 hours a week on this project; meaning across 2 years i will put in a minimum of 500 hours.
I am going to start with an initial budget of $500 seed capital, and reinvest any earnings back into the blogs up until the 2 year mark. If i need more funding before the end of the 2 years i will assess my situation and see if i am getting results, and if the ROI is worthwhile. I do not need to pay hosting costs, as they are covered through some non-adult sites that i run.
Details
I plan on using no more that 5 - 6 affiliates as any more than that, across 6 sites, then my cashouts will be too infrequent.
I will create a 'network' or sites so to speak, so try and hook users in as much as possible, sending them between other site on my network.
Traffic creation and SEO are probably my 2hardest challenges. Creating and maintaining the sites are easy for me, its just a matter of getting enough views to convert to sales.
I would appreciate any advice/strategies from users who have done this before like anexsia et al, but aside from that i plan to fumble my way through it and hope that this thread allows me to document my time and money spent so i can see what works and what doesnt
