[YMM Journey] Reselling BHW services + E-commerce + SEO

[Vonais]

Fiverr selling is ok, you'll just get peanuts for your work. To to mention that buyers will have to filter through a lot of crappy but high rated sellers to find your service. In my eyes, it's not going to be worth it.

Did your main keyword start ranking yet? I think you should start backlinking if you didn't already, just do the standard link pyramids. Can we expect another serpbook report?

Don't know since when, but i check this thread pretty much like everyday.

Just a suggestion, if you are relying on SEO, you should build some puffer site which target those money making kws and redirect those to your money site, or you can always sell your service in those puffer site, after having their email, you know what to do. .

For ranking buffer site, just spam the shit out of it.

still getting more visitors than me man! I have seen page 1 and page 2 results, however none of them are buyer keywords and i'm only getting 1/2 visitors a day. I can't afford banner ads or ppc at the moment either so! Me too bro, difficult to balance university, personal life, hobbies and chasing success!

All of my target keywords are buyer keywords, however, the traffic that comes to my website is also buyer keywords, but they are really board and only get a few searches per month. I'm not planning to use ppc/media buying as well, at least not for now, because my budget is tight. Regarding the balance between - I have cutted my personal life to the max, so it's just work and university for now I have to balance.

Yeah I know fiverr selling is a bit hard work for pennies, but right now every dollar coming to me is something extra, however, I will think about whether or not I want to do it. I will start linking soon, but not yet. And I guess at the beginning it will be only forum signature links, not link pyramids. I don't really know how SEO works yet, so I will take it slow.

Good thing is that I'm actually selling SEO services, and I'm closely monitoring all my clients rankings for their keywords, which is giving me some hints what works and what doesn't. Nothing interesting happens @Serpbook, update will eb posted at the end of this post.

Thanks!! I will give revenue update together with today's report at the end of the day... revenue so far is $15 for today, but I feel new clients are coming very soon

Thanks for following my thread, it really means a lot to me! Knowing that I can motivate others is really motivating for me

Regarding the puffer site - Yeah, I will most likely do that with some blogspot websites. I'm already watching GSA ser videos, but I want to learn it before I buy it. This is a nice strategy, as prospects will be already referred from another website, and if done properly - it can reach high conversions

As of the SEO part, here is the plan:

1. Build at least 4 online stores, so they have some time to get older. These 4 online stores will be all related, offering different kind of IM services. I'm already building the 2nd site.
2. After I build the 4 related stores, I won't have to worry about website creation, so I will be able to fully focus on the SEO & link building. My plan is to register at multiple forums and start MASS posting on daily basis.
3. Probably build some buffer sites to reffer additional traffic
4. Profit?
- PROFIT!!!

Main keyword is nowhere to be seen yet. I guess my website might be overoptimized for the main keyword. Very soon I will update the site with PHPBUILT's method, hopefully today or tomorrow, and see how it works. Will report of course.

 

[SmoothBlackHat]

Very interestying journey. Could you tell what's your daily traffic?

 

[YoMoneyMaker]

After noticing that my main keyword is nowhere to be found on Google, I took a second look on PHPBUILT's thread. So I guess I could be penalized for my main keyword, because of over-optimization (+ several other semi-main keywords... I wish I knew earlier for this KW over-optimization). I don't know if what this guy is saying is true (Im not that experienced), however, his words make a very reasonable sense to me. So I'm going to optimize my website the way he is describing in his thread. I will start posting some stuff done for the day + stuff I want to do the next day, so I make a better commitment to my work. What I have done will be in green, what is left for tomorrow will be in red. Simple!

Here is the thread of PHPBUILT

You can see pretty much sumarized what I'm going to do. Some of the things he is recommended are just not applicable for my website, however, I will stick with the most part of what he is recommending.

1. Change products URL and Title. A page should only have the keyword you are shooting for in the title only once.

2. Cut all inner links in the product descriptions, as most of them are 100% exact anchor of my keywords.

a) Build the inner links again, diversify the keywords used to inner-link. This time do not use only 100% anchor text for main targeted keywords. Use only where it feels natural, and don't over do it.

b) Use 100% exact Anchor text not-that-much.

c) Some of the articles seems like they are keyword stuffed with exact keywords of "buy product", which also makes the descriptions non-human-friendly. Change 90% of all keywords that are not ranking in top100 currently. "Buy product" becomes "buying {this|that|the|a/an} product", and other variations, but avoiding the exact keyword, so we don't stuff too much keywords.

d) Edit descriptions where possible or needed. (Updated content could be beneficial). Include words like: Buy, Review, Shop, store, online store, for sale, etc.

3. Don't use tags at all. Delete all product tags. Everywhere

4. Build a blog for the store + make its first post (Not from PHPBUILT's guide, but still I have been planning this for a long time)

5. Edit categories names to further avoid keyword stuffing.

6. Add: About, TOS, Refund Policy, Privacy policy, Disclaimer

7. Remove author link from the wordpress theme (I don't even know if I need that or if that applys for eCommerce stores, but will check it out)

8. Remove breadcrumbs

9. Remove random product widget in the sidebar.

10. Check if articles are indexed 48-72 hours after being updated. If some are not indexed, check for KW over-optimization.

11. Read the additional posts by PHPBUILT in the same thread, see if there is more value on it.

12. non PHPBUILT's method related: Add a slideshow for additional promotion on the website.


I hope to be able to finish this to-do list by tomorrow. Redoing the descriptions one more time will take a lot of time, but I know I can do it.

Here is the report for today + Revenue graph from 1st of January until today including.

Day #24 - 06.01.2014
Total Revenue: $16
Total Costs: $8
Total Profit: $8
Subscribers: 14 (Not monetized yet, just collecting them)

Revenue Report: The report is bugged for some reason, I tried fixing the time zone, but it didn't worked. $15 of today's orders are showing as it was yesterday, that's why the graph reaches $75 in sales for 5th of Jan, when it should be $65. A few of the orders from 4th of Jan are being showed in 5th of Jan... No idea, sory

Hey guys, I haven't vanished. I was on a family reunion on 7th, then I got the local flu. I wasn't feeling ok AT ALL, so I decided to just read(study), and practically do nothing, but proceed orders.

Nothing really interesting happened during the last 4 days where I haven't updated you, only that I managed to sell 5k twitter followers for $20 to a customer of mine (Cost $3)

Today I felt better, and did a lot of work, and therefore now I'm too tired to give a detailed update on recent days revenue/profits. Will give all updates tomorrow (Btw many KWs dropping right now)

You guys can also add me in skype: yomoneymaker

 

[YoMoneyMaker]

Sory for the late response guys, I have been working extremely hard (16h+/day) for the last 2-3 days. I already have 3 ecommerce stores ready and operating, yet the last two were builded yesterday and today, so no traffic yet.

Many people added me on skype, and I'm going to network with some of them, and start working on new projects simultaneously. I plan to have a maximum of 3 projects at the same time, and none of them should be taking 100% of my time. If I work hard, I know I can do it. It might be a mistake, but I prefer to separate my eggs in multiple baskets from the beginning. The first ecommerce is doing good, however, the revenue report totally failed. I don't know why, but the amounts showed are not correct AT ALL. The last revenue graph I uploaded was also messed up for some reason.

The first ecommerce is now fully ready with over 25k words unique content (23k+ of which for product descriptions). Yet there are a few products that do not have product descriptions, but it will come soon. Also added a few extra expensive ($500-700) products, just to add some authority to my prospects.

Every step from PHPBUILT's guide is now completed, hopefully there will be some rank movements soon.

Starting today updates are back to normal - daily. Here is the updated revenue for the last couple of days.

Day #25 - 07.01.2014
Total Revenue: $0


Day #26 - 08.01.2014

Wonderful journey mate,
Question: What payment gateways you use? Like Paypal or 2checkout ( Do you encounter charge back, if encountered how do you handle it?)
(If you use paypal as payment: Do you use your own account or dummy account with verified status?)
What woocommerce extension do you use? free and paid

More Power to your endeavors,

Hey, where have you been since 2011? Thanks for the kind words!

I'm using the free integrated PayPal gateway, and I'm using my own account. Only 1 chargeback so far, it was filled an hours after the order, and client stated he got his account banned. I refunded him immediately, because I haven't passed the order to the seller, and it was a small order.

The woocommerce theme I'm using is a paid one from themeforest, I already shared which theme I am using.


Day #31 - 13.01.2014
Total Revenue: $8
Total Cost: $3
Total Profit: $5
Subscribers: 27 (Yesterday I said 37, but it was a honest mistake, I can't edit it now. I sent an email yesterday to all subscribers with a 48h promo, but not any orders yet.)

P.S. I'm starting a new project very soon, and will be posting a JV Thread. Basically I need people who can produce big amounts of quality videos. Project is longterm, and promising.

Too busy to jibber-jabber, here is the daily update.


Day #32 - 14.01.2014
Total Revenue: $21.50
Total Cost: $17 (ooops, I have placed a wrong price of a $15 for a product that has $14 cost)
Total Revenue: $4.50
Subscribers: 29

 

[YoMoneyMaker]

The new shops had a few visitors today, but no orders. The day is already over here, and there was 1 client who came in the last minute, otherwise it would've been a 0 day


Day #33 - 15.01.2014
Total Revenue: $28
Total Cost: $11
Total Profit: $17
Subscribers: 30

Hey guys, here is an update from SERPBook.

I had to visit the dentist again today, so couldn't do much work. I have been throwing some social signals recently, so I guess this is why the ranks are going up.
Traffic have been a little bit boosted for the past couple of days, however, sales are not increasing that much. I have tried creating 2 email campaigns with discounts, however just a few clicks, and 0 orders.

Day #34 - 16.01.2014
Total Revenue: $17
Total Cost: $6
Total Profit: $11
Subscribers: 32

Hey guys, I want to ask you something. Is my journey boring, and not interesting? I know I'm new here, but I see many other journey of noobs who have much better following. I also see far less successful journeys, yet with better following. I notice that the journeys of JR. VIPs are far more followed, which is totally understandable, yet I don't really see what is wrong with my blog. I just spent like 45 minutes to read each and every post, trying to figure out what's wrong, and why I'm the forever alone guy of this forum

I'm not trying to get some sympathy, I just find it hard to make daily updates, when nobody is asking me nothing, which makes me feel like I'm talking to myself. That's why recently posts have been shorter, and not so informative. To be honest this is highly de-motivational for me. As I said in my first post, any criticism will be warmly welcome, and I hardly get offended, so just let me know if you have any particular reasons in mind.

Anyway, there have been some nice SERP Improvements today, one of my keywords even hitted page 1 for like 5 hours, but then it went back to page 2.

Day #35 - 17.01.2014
Total Revenue: $0

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING MAN??!! WHY YOU NO PAGE ONE? NOOOOBBB. YOU SUCK.

Tbh I'm pretty surprised to see that no one is ever posting on this journey, even though it's one of the more successful journeys out there. My best guess is that you're doing reselling. Most journey's here are YT + PPD, so it's normal for people to not post on this journey. Heck, even Fiverr reselling would be better in terms of post count. I've never seen a journey about BHW services reselling man.

Don't stop the daily updates as well as the SERP reports, man. I think that a lot of people are viewing this thread but aren't posting because they're so astounded to see your success .

BHW serviced are trusted (instead of F`s) and he`ll get more new and returning clients, providing quality seo with real results. Of course there is few gemstones on fiverr, but it will take a lot to find them with prove - result checks..

Thanks for the comments, guys!

I see many people here doing PPD+YT recently, it seems one of the easiest methods around, so it's understandable. And yeah, you guys are totally correct, I'm like the cat owner in a pets forum, full of dog owners.
BHW Is having a really good marketplace. I have made very dig research on multiple sales threads, and I must say that there are some obviously fishy sellers, and before buying anything, just make sure you do your research. It's normal for a forum of this magnitude to have these fishy sellers trying to make an easy buck. However, there are plenty of legit sellers who provide real value, that's why I'm reselling their services. I Already have a few clients who have ordered 3-4+ times from me, and they say they aren't going to use other sellers/websites.

P.S. It's ironic that in the beginning (1st post) I said I will make my comments blue/green so others can distinguish them, but no worries - I got your back guys, nobody else is posting here, so it won't be hard for you
