1 Million Dollar [Journey]

Vladislav this is interesting. I was in the same position with the same goals as you, Now I'm 29, life slapped me hard and taught me that it's not that easy. You'll probably won't become a millionaire but you'll learn a lot, you'll learn how life works, what expect and what not to expect.
At the end you'll probably work 9-5 and do some side projects

A million dollars aint cool bro. You know whats cool? A billions dollars!!!

Just found your Journey and read it all - we have a lot in common Would love to get in touch and connect with you if you are interested - feel free to slide in my DMs

Thanks for the wise words. I am younger than you but let me try to say some wise words too:
"Don't ever give up on your goals; if you didn't hit them, don't change the goals, just change the timeline."
I know the odds are against me, but I will send you a screenshot of my bank account when it happens

"At the end you'll probably work 9-5 and do some side projects" - if I run out of money, yes, but then I will try again, and again, and again, I am doing this since I am 16... Maybe we had the same goal, but we have different drives.

Very far! If you take into consideration my business, equipment, and properties, I would say around 60k- rough estimation (maybe a little bit more), which is 6%.
1M is just a milestone; it's not like I am going to stop once I am there...

i will follow u, it's my dream too. i will start my journey next week hope every thing ok

Hi guys!


Welcome to another update of 1 million dollar journey!

In this post, I will discuss what I did in August and what happened with my websites.

Let’s start!

Mentality
My focus is slowly starting to change.

What do I mean by that? Instead of focusing on how much money this guy or that project can bring to me, now I am asking how I can solve his problems, will I be the best guy to solve his problems?

I know it sounds like all the gurus out there. Still, when I compare a goal like “make 1 million dollars” to “inspire 1 million people to do something awesome with their lives “, the second one scares me and motivates me at the same time. The joy of having a positive impact on so many lives it’s so rewarding.

Anyway, why not have both ? right?

What’s crazy is that people started to notice this change. Or maybe it’s just in my head, but I think they feel I genuinely want to help them out.

For example, I spent more than 4 hours with a guy trying to explain to her how Google and websites work in general.

I knew from the start that this guy would not bring me any money. It was just me trying to help him out.

Guess what happened next?

This guy introduced me to another guy, got around 50 dollars.

Small project. Peanuts, I know.

But this other guy introduced me to another guy and got nearly 2000 dollars.

So you see how the universe works )

Crazy.

Okay, enough talk.

Let’s see some stats.

Youtube
As you know from my previous update, I started 2 Youtube Channels.

Since my last video, I got amazing feedback from you guys! Thank you so much!

My focus now is to improve content quality and produce at least four videos /month.

Channel number 1 has 6 videos.


Channel number 2 has 8 videos.

My goal is not to give up on Youtube until I get 100 videos on both channels. My focus is exclusively on the content, not on metrics like views or subscribers.

What I plan to do next month is schedule at least two videos/ per channel. One for every week.

This way, I will make sure I am consistent, and I don’t burnout.

Websites
I am happy to announce this month I got accepted on Amazon Affiliate Program.

They reviewed my websites, and I got accepted.


I am very happy given the fact that this affiliate journey is still pretty new, and it’s already starting to show some results.

Domain 1 Outdoor

Month 3

Total word count= 29.921

Organic Traffic/per month= 16 (+16 since last month)



Domain 2 Travel

Month 4

Total word count = 23,331 (+6000 words since last month)

Organic Traffic/ per month = 0



Domain 3 – Men

Month 5

Total word count = 34.699

Organic Traffic/ per month = 87 (+70 since last month)



Domain 4 – Digital Agency



Month 10

Total word count = 95.225 ( + 7120 words since last month)

Organic Traffic/ per month = 410 (+79 since last month)

An interesting thing happened with this website. I got hacked; they used a vulnerability on the wp file manager plugin. We managed to recover all the data in a couple of hours, so we are safe.



What I plan to do next month:

Change the hosting for all my websites. I use Namecheap now, and I am having a terrible experience with them. I have WordPress websites that literally have four static pages, and it takes 7 seconds just to get a response from the server.

Maybe I will write about this in another update.



That’s it for today, see you on the next update.

Welcome to another update!
In this post, I will write about what happened with my websites in September.

Websites
Let’s start with the websites, this month I am starting to see some small improvements in ranking and traffic.

I am using my content planner to stay organised and focused.

My digital agency is starting to occupy 80% of my time. Which is cool, because September was the best month in terms of revenue since covid hit.

I am hoping we will survive.

Let’s see some stats.

Domain Digital Agency

Month 11

Total word count = 99,926 ( + 4000 words since last month)

We are so close to hitting 100.000 words, in October I will write a study case about producing 100k words in 11 months. What I learned from it and how you can easily do it.

These results was produced with 0 backlinks.


Organic Traffic/ per month = 472 (+60 since last month)

Domain Men




Month 5

Total word count = 50,165 (+16.000 words since last month)

Organic Traffic/ per month = 303 (+220 since last month)

Didn’t expect this one to grow that fast honestly, this one was more like a study case to me.

The domain started to produce $ after just 3 months.

Domain Outdoor




Month 4

Total word count= 29.921 (no change, no articles added)

Organic Traffic/per month= 41

The organic traffic is improving even though I built 0 backlinks for this website.

Domain Travel

Month 5

Total word count = 32,829 (+9000 words since last month)

Organic Traffic is still 0 per month. I understand that this crisis hit this niche, but I expect at least one article to rank
Maybe it needs some backlinks, heh.
The plan for next month is to migrate to faster hosting.



Youtube
Channel 1: I have 8 videos and 17 subscribers.

Channel 2: I have 10 videos and 34 subscribers.

Hey guys! I hope you are all safe and well.
From now on, I will call every update an episode and every year a season. Today we have episode 17 because I have 16 updates to this day. And Season 0 because I like to think this is just the preparation, the plan, etc.
2021 will be the start of season 1
Episode 17
This month I am starting to see all those hours I spent during lockdown to write content.
For the:
Domain Digital Agency
This month we hit 12 months since I am working for this website. One year! Happy Birthday!
The plan for the next 12 months is to invest in backlinks.
I already started with a 155$ dollars backlink . I am tracking all my costs using Google Planner.
Total word count = 102,866
I hit 100k this month.
Which means from now on, I will post two articles per month.
The Youtube Channel for this website has ten videos and 40 subscribers. The plan is not to give up till I hit 100 videos.
Here is a screenshot from Google Analytics

Organic Traffic/ per month = 721 (+300 since last month)
And here is a screenshot from Google Search Console for the last three months.

As you can see, the website is growing naturally without any crazy spikes. I am hoping to give it a boost in 6 months after I am creating those backlinks.

Domain Men


A happy experiment for me. When I started this website, I had no plan to grow it as I have now. I just had a writer who owns me 30.000 words, and I said, okay, let’s build a new website, and that’s how I started )
With basically 0 research, just for fun.
This month:

• I added content.

Month 6
Total word count = 58,145 (+8.000 words since last month)
I plan to add 10.000 words each month. I am a bit behind, but this will change from 2021.

Traffic/ per month = 700 (+400 since last month)
The bounce rate is too high. I am looking for ways to decrease it. If you guys have any tips, that would be awesome

Domain Travel

This month:

• I created two pages (homepage +about us) custom design using Elementor for authority.
• I made my first backlinks.
• Added content

Month 6
Total word count= 39.593 (+6,883 words)
Organic Traffic/per month= 1

The traffic is still 0, strange! It could be the fact that this niche is highly competitive or it got affected by this period, or it could be both hehe

Domain Outdoor

Month 5
Total word count= 29.921 (no change, no articles added)
Organic Traffic/per month= 56

The organic traffic is improving even though I don’t do anything on this domain…

Thanks for completing this episode! See you next month.

How much have you made until now?

Keep Going Mate

Keep it going, i like great Goals that are long term
