Hello BHW.

Introduction and Background

I've finally decided that it's time for me to lose my IM Journey virginity. It wasn't an easy decision but to keep my motivation going it has to be done!

Like many others on the forum, I'm starting an Amazon affiliate site and believe that before the summer of 2018 it will be making an average of $35 a day! Why $35? Because it's about $1000 a month. I know it sounds a bit too hopeful but I do believe that with the niche I have and the hard work I'll put in it'll definitely be possible.

So who am I? I'm Ernest, I'm 17 and I live in Sweden. I've been on the forum for a couple of years and have made some really good money on eBay. Currently I'm a high school student and a worker on weekends.

Plan

Domain and hosting has already been bought.

Content: I plan on creating high-quality content all by myself because I can't afford to hire a writer right now.

Link Building: Will figure that out. This is my first real site so I'm not sure. Any tip is really appreciated. Currently, I'm planning on commenting and answering questions on forums and other sites in my niche. After that, I'll probably order a PBN and Web 2.0 service.

Strategy

0-30 days: I won't care about monetization. Content every other day. A little bit of link building (Quora and comments on niche relevant sites).

30-60 days: Start to monetize the site. Hopefully, I'll be making $1 - $5 a day. Will continue to grow site and continue same link building strategy and more content is obvious.

60-90 days: By now I should be making a steady $5+. Will probably order a PBN or Web 2.0 service to boost sites ranking and authority.

90 days-Summer of 2018: Should be making even more. Will continue to increase everything until I'm making a solid $35 a day.

Goals
$1 a day.
$5 a day.
$10 a day.
$15 a day.
$25 a day.
$35 a day.

If there's anything I'm doing wrong please don't hesitate to tell me about it. I'm all about learning from people who know more than I do.
 
Good luck @Ernestismyname. How did you go about your niche and keyword research?
Thought of a strategy where I utilize ebay to find items in niches that aren't really saturated and it worked. I checked KWfinder and searches per month was at 20k with 37 difficulty which is great if you ask me.

I understand what you mean but I looked at the niche for a month now and I'm quite confident that I can rank for it.
 
Good luck mate just focus on creating hq content and make sure to have more # of words than the top ranked sites and you will be just fine. Do less link building as that can harm in long run if you keep publishing quality content google will place you in the right spot so just focus on that. Most of the links are short term and they die in 6 months plus you are always at risk for new google update. So its always better to focus on only content.

Best of luck.
 
Good luck :)

You will hit $35/day sooner than you think if you stick to the plan.

Main keyword is buying intent right?? or basic keyword?

Yeah of course. I'm going to treat the site like my baby. Will be gentle with it.

Good luck :)

Definetly buying intent. People who search for it are definetly looking for an item to buy.
