Challenge: Can I make $2 in 30 Days?

[Willyfish]

I've been on this SEO forum since 2017 (different account) and I still haven't tried doing anything SEO related
There are a lot of posts where people share their success with money sites bringing them thousands every month. I am kinda skeptical as some of the posters seem to be selling some sort of service related to their success. However, I assume some success is to be expected with persistency.

• I have purchased a new domain and setup a basic Wordpress site.
• There are currently 3 articles posted today to get things going.
• I will be posting a new article to this site every day for 30 days.
• Each article will have a low competition keyword and 1k+ word count.
• Some articles will have affiliate links, ADs will be added when possible.
• I will be posting updates on this thread every day for 30 days.

The niche I have chosen seems to be rather competitive, but I hope I can get around it by only targeting low competition keywords and questions.
I will be using the help of AI, but this isn't a GPT ass blaster 9000 journey. Everything will be done manually, including editing and proofreading.

Current website stats:

Money spent on hosting: $2

The goal of this journey is to earn back the money spent on hosting. Do you think I can do it?
I am open to suggestions and recommendations.

First of all, congratulations on taking action and starting your SEO journey. It's great that you have a clear plan in place, with a focus on low competition keywords and regular content creation. These are important factors in building a successful website.

In terms of your website stats, it's good that you have a decent domain authority and page authority, which can give you a head start in ranking for your chosen keywords. However, it's important to remember that these metrics are just a starting point, and that the quality of your content and backlinks will ultimately determine your success.

As for your goal of earning back the money spent on hosting, it's definitely achievable. However, it's important to have realistic expectations and understand that SEO is a long-term game. It can take several months or even years to see significant results, especially in a competitive niche.

In addition to your current strategy, here are some other tips to consider:

1. Focus on user intent: When selecting keywords and creating content, think about what your target audience is searching for and what information they are looking for. Make sure your content meets their needs and provides value.
2. Build high-quality backlinks: Backlinks are a key factor in SEO, but it's important to focus on quality over quantity. Aim to get backlinks from authoritative websites in your niche, and avoid spammy or low-quality backlinks.
3. Optimize for on-page SEO: Make sure your website is optimized for on-page SEO factors, such as meta tags, headings, and internal linking. This can help search engines understand the content of your website and improve your rankings.
4. Be patient and persistent: SEO is not a quick fix, and it can take time to see results. Stay committed to your strategy and keep creating high-quality content, and you will eventually see the benefits.

Good luck with your SEO journey

Didn't have much time to work on this today, just uploaded one mediocre article.

Here are the stats so far:

As you can see still getting some traffic from social, only one article is indexed so far and got another backlink.

Still no revenue?

Oh wow the fishGPT himself. Thanks for the insights.

Oh okey, thought u already monetizing it.

 

[OpenSauce]

I could stuff an article with affiliate links and spam it on facebook groups to earn those $2 real quick, but my goal is to earn that money with organic search traffic and that is a bit more complicated.

 

[twohkz]

Good luck with your journey, go whitehat and your passive income will last..

How did you manage to get $2 hosting?

That's a lot of effort wasting your time with garbage. I think it's always better to create a passion project where you put your heart into it and focus on creating quality on all levels than simply coming up with a spammy website that you try to monetize through questionable tactics. Because, if you think about it, even low quality takes some degree of effort. Better choose a subject you really like and go all in on it.

Anyway, $2 is really nothing. You can even make it by accident. Even if you made 2 bucks, it wouldn't prove any of this works. The minimum should be 50 bucks.

 

[peux pas]

why restrict to just organic traffic? why not use all avenue at your disposal to make money ASAP?

 

[Panther28]

but this isn't a GPT ass blaster 9000 journey.

Do you have a download link for this software? lol

Best of luck bud, In 30 days or 30 months, you can get there and learn to do it quicker each year that goes by.

It was shared on this forum a while ago.

Not sure what you're going on about, the message you quoted is me saying what I won't do. I am trying to create a good quality white hat project that would last. The main goal is good organic traffic, $2 is just a symbolic achievement along the way.

why restrict to just organic traffic? why not use all avenue at your disposal to make money ASAP?

The goal is not the money, but quality traffic that would last.

Day 4:

Was working on other projects, so only uploaded one more article:


Here are the stats:


Got 14 backlinks now apparently:


The $2 hosting is kinda slow (what a surprise), but I won't be upgrading until I make some money from this project.

I was thinking of sharing some articles on FB groups next.

EDIT: Why can't I make the images smaller??

Good job. I wonder how u were able to get a $2 hosting? I , myself looking for one to host adult content. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

 

[TheBigFatGuy]

Fast food restaurant even a cleaner makes much more than that in a single month...LOL

With a year of consistent effort, the OP can earn $1k, 2k, or perhaps even more. Conversely, a restaurant cleaner does not have the same earning potential.

 

[Gogol]

Best of luck with your journey! IMO if you can earn 2$, you can earn 20000$ as well. I am sure you will do it.

There is a thread somewhere on this forum with a bunch of cheap hosting providers.
