Thanks man. I take an average of traffic from semrush, ahrefs, and google keyword planner. I might take the numbers from my current Amazon account and apply them to this project. Also for this journey I don't plan on limiting my traffic to search engines. I plan on buying quality traffic on social media (facebook/youtube)

It i so nice to see students starting IM at such early stage. If you keep learning from mistakes, you have good chances of becoming a millionaire before 25. All the best for your journey.

What I completed today:
I may slow down on ordering articles for my high competition keywords and focus on my low competition articles. Right now, quantity is what I'm aiming for, I'd rather have 10 small profit streams than try and get 1 trickling me some income.
Expenses:
($171.63) Purchased 3 year hosting and domain
(39.95) Purchased GeneratePress
($120) Ordered two 2000 word articles
($200) - 6000 word article (TAT Feb 13)
($60) - 3000 word article
$0 - SmartMag (Bought it a few years ago, don't remember the cost)
$0 - Free Logo
$0 - PBN Content
($19) One-time Paid Directory link - I can add more once my articles are posted
Total Expenses: $610.58
- Created Google Analytics and installed script
- Created Facebook
- Signed up at one forum and posted to 6 threads - gotta wait until my post is up to link to my site
- Left blog comments pointing to my homepage on my competitors websites, when they click my website it says "Coming Soon" so they won't know I'm competition until later. Only no-follow links though but I'm pretty sure Google crawls them anyway. (They crawled/indexed my site even though I'm blocking robots)
- Signed up for DMCA and installed script- I may go premium just so I can get my links from DMCA quickly
- Signed up for one paid directory ($19)
- Altered my site header and navigation
- Brother finished my logo so I tweaked it to my liking and uploaded, really excited how this site is looking.
- Prep more articles and photos
- Create Instagram/Twitter
- Find more forums and high quality directories
- Order from a blog commenting service but ask them to just provide me links in my niche so comments aren't spammy
- Find a domain for one PBN site
- Maybe look into offering advertising space in my header once I get some traffic rolling (Or use an amazon banner to make use of that space)

Thank you everyone!
I’m using aawp - getaawp.com
For sure. I’ve learned a lot from my past project. Going to apply what worked and also not skip any corners. I’ve also found a ton of keywords in which the top ranking site are sites my previous project is outranking with no backlinks. Great thing is that these keywords have a much higher volume!

Good luck OP, looking good so far. One piece of advice - don't go overspending on unnecessary things like getting domains and hosting for the next 3 years. Why in the world would you do that? You could also go buy toilet paper in advance for the next 6 months or so but you don't see anyone doing so. Also, if you don't mind me asking - why would order something like custom CSS this early on? The site would go fine without it and without traffic it's a waste of money to focus on design THIS much.
Anyway, disregard what I'm about to write after this please
I'm sorry but that's one of the stupidest things I've read all day. OP graduated high school six years ago - he's what, 23 or 24 now? I'm pretty sure he's not still a student also, AND he stated he has a daughter. In what world does one have "good chances" of becoming a millionaire before 25, especially when they're just starting to get serious about something? OP definitely has good chances of making a comfortable living with IM a year from now, when he has enough experience and knows exactly what he's doing (if he's not already there).
Where is it that you live where all the under 25 millionaires are? Because they sure as fuck aren't very common in the parts of the world I've visited.
EDIT: My bad, didn't realize he posted that on February 7th. Let's call it one of the stupidest things I've read all year then.
