authority site funnel to $5k/mo [IM log]

[hoodbgoode]

Hey all,

Im looking to create a funnel around one of my offline passions

Style and fashion!

I will use this to create a sales funnel and sell my own products to fans.

Specifically ill be niching down - this will be about style and looking good for a certain demographic.

What colors and fits, products etc look great. Ive already had people tell me its a great idea.

This is a niche that i find interesting. Finally, no false pretending around liking random things for the sake of selling aff products.

The goal is to power my website and marketing funnel through social + SEO
Current Stats
- 52K fb fans
- 5K IG followers
- 1K email list
- 30/week organic visits (not a lot)

Good luck OP. You already have a decent user base where you can promote and get the targeted customers.

Keep us updated and hope you achieve your goals sooner.

good luck ..... you could tell us your salespage that we have a look in your fashion and criticize

You don't promote your website to your user base, yet? You have too small traffic if we consider how big ur FB page is

Good luck! I will watch this thread

2.8 Update

- Need a keyword tracking tool to track keywords for me. Can anyone recommend a good, not expensive one? I will have lots of keywords to track and am wondering how to do it without spending a massive amount.

- After talking with henry havoc last week he's mentioned that my site is heavy in anchor text ratio, like 40% of the anchor texts are my main KW. i'm pretty worried and thinking about using google disavow (links were from sellers when I didn't know what I was doing w/ seo)

-just crossed 5,000 ig followers for my style site - great way to build my email list

- installed yaost and seo'ing some old posts, focused on creating good content to ran for multiple keywords

- focused on silo'ing the right way. some articles in writing for different silos are still in progress. This is a great example of silo page:
https://www.hubspot.com/instagram-marketing
see how links are mixed into the text as they go along?

Now need to go and SEO some old posts too with yoast.

- posted my first affiliate content today and holy shit!!! drove 11 clicks to amazon today - super exciting lol. going to celebrate my first amazon sale hugely.

Been a while, my apologies...

• Got first amazon sale! Super excited to confirm that yes, the sale I saw in my dashboard is real. After several days of really weird dashboard behavior where I’d sometimes see click and sale volume, and sometimes not, now the commission is there. Two months to get two more...
  
  
• Working on a product launch. This is the first of several info prods / offers that I plan on putting out. Internet marketing is about more tha naffiliate marketing and I plan on getting effing sick with sales copy, offers, positioning and product creation. That’s very time intensive, but info products aren’t readily available in my niche, and people ask me questiosn about the same things all the time. So im putting together low level ($XX) and eventually high level ($XXX, $XXXX) offers to sell as big ticket stuff.
  
  
• Refining pillar page structure. A helpful BHW member got a peek at my site and came back with lots of info on pillars. Pillars / silos, whatever you wanna call em. These need to be the priority with soring articles / blog posts, and be keyword rich to rank for various niches. A pillar page leads to relevance for the child articles underneath it.
  
  
• Ordered an seo audit, surprising results. A Fiverr seller, well reviewed did a deep dive and came back with all kinds of issues...404s...301 redirects...low link profile...thin content..slow load speed...SEO can be a PAIN man. I’ve worked my ass off on this site and there are still so many issues to tackle. Oh well. Now that I know they are there, I can work on stuff from the report.
  
  
• Found good writer for decent rate, thank god...writing is exhausting. Got a fella off upwork to do some writing for me. He’s great. Better than I could’ve asked for , for what I’m paying him. Getting about 3K words / week from the guy. Optimizing for those keywords!
  
  
• Email list goriwng about 4-5 people a day. Visitors from FB, instagram, and SEO. Getting good w/ fb ads and lookalike audiences…. I did a boost of a niche article this week and drew a ton of visitors for $0.02 per click. On the other hand...hitting 7K followers on IG pretty soon..that’s the network I’m grinding away on. Organic traffic growing very slowly, getting traction in bing as well...up to about 50 organic visits per week and growing.
  
  
• Moved site to https and meant a host of issues on the back end ...resbumitted the site to search console and analytics. Working on digging out of that with the audit as a guide.
  
  
• Exhausting amount to do but site is taking shape. That first sale made me run around with joy...i know guys are doing way better but I made money online!!
