A Noobs journey into the unknown

Quick Update

Added a new feature to the blogs where people can opt in for email updates. I figured I'd try it out its an app callled sumome or something like that. Anytime anyones viewing the blog 30 secs or more the popup will ask if they want to subscribe. I dont really know if anyone will do it but i read all this talk about email lists being important so i figured i'd give it a try.

Called in a favor from a friend who owes me some money (alot more then i'm getting from him) I'll be buying 10 more proxies later and I'm going to shoot for 20 more twitter accounts today and get everything set in followliker. Then in the next week I'll work on getting 20 more autoblogs back up.

Even with my new domain being up for one day and <600 followers I managed 20 UVs yesterday. Average time on site 1.40 mins and 2 pages/visit. Things won't take long to get back to where they were. I was so pissed and ready to say fuck it a few days ago but now I'm mentally back, focused and ready to go hard.

go the proxies yesterday didnt get as much done as i wanted. Only 5 new twitters though. that's okay I have a full day today to get 15 more done. I have around 725 followers atm uvs were 28 yesterday. If everything goes according to plan I'll be at 3- twitters and 30 blogs by wednesday.

I must say though even with the mass problem it caused (it was moreso me that caused the problem) followliker is definitely a great investment. Love it.

So 20 more twitters yesterday making the the total 30. 4 of them are locked ill get those ones unlocked today. I will also get at least 10 more autoblogs. If I do those fast enough and I have the attention span I'll try for 20.

edit: 5 are locked today i got one unlocked already. no matter if im using my home ip or private proxy just about half the twitter accounts that I use are getting locked within 24 hours. Usually with the first 2 hours. It really fucking pisses me off. I had 3 that i unlocked yesterday. Like i said it makes me angry. i need coffee.

oh yeah and 1454 followers total

Already starting to see some earnings on pr and exoclick. 5 cents yesterday woohooo. 10 more autoblogs up going to do another 10. One thing I have to do before I start that is change all my twitter profiles. There's something in the terms of use I read yesterday they don't let you use pornographic pictures for your header and profile pic. I think 70% of my twitters have that so I need to fix that before I forget about it. Got my work cut out for today too but this may be one of my last major days of work. I'll be back to where I was before all the bans happened. I can't scale it up anymore than this my server can't handle it. Total followers is now at 1904.

Did not get as much as I wanted to get done yesterday. Fixed all my twitter porfiles which was the first priority. I only got three autoblogs done. I had to see my lawyer yesterday which took up a lot of time. I should have no problem getting seven more done today. I think i'm going to get rid of the email prompt on the websites too. It's not doing very well and I think It just pisses people off more than anything.

Websites Unique Visitors = 53
Twitter Followers = 2306
Expenses = $ -227.21
Earnings = $+57.48 +$0.09
Net = $-169.73

I really like your motivation. Don't know what I would have done if something alike would have happened to me.
You inspire me with your tenaciousness

Keep working and you surely will hit at least $10/day. I'll root for you.

I was fu*cking manic the day it happened but what are you gonna do right? Better it happened when it did then a couple months down the road when it really hurt. I'm a firm believer that if you want something bad enough and your willing to bust your ass to get it anything is possible. Thank you for the kind words little things like that motivate me even more.

Slept in a bit today (actually a lot lol). The task for today is putting links between all my new autoblogs that usually increases the page views and time spent on the site and that will in turn hopefully increase earnings. Need to figure something to do with the main page. It's still blank. Theres a plugin for managing multiple wordpresses might do that for the moment better than nothing.

Websites Unique Visitors = 41
Twitter Followers = 3187 +881 <------2701 is how many followers I have right now the original number is way off I was out of it when I woke Up
Expenses = $ -227.21
Earnings = $+57.51 +$0.03
Net = $-169.70


Edit: I really want to up the followliker settings but I'm scared to lol. I would really hate to go through another situation like I created before.

Just a quick observation if I may...

I may have misread your posts, but from what I see, your traffic source is more or less solely from Twitter, right?

If this is the case, then I'd argue that you're putting all your eggs in one basket, and thus are susceptible to being hit quite hard when the banhammer strikes... As in: All is lost.

My thought here is if you utilize more ways of generating traffic to your sites, then the effect of one traffic source being compromised won't have the same effect as now where all traffic grinds to a halt.

Just a thought.. Keep it going, I love following journeys such as yours.

I was using tumblr and stumble but I stopped because I wasn't having a whole lot of luck with them. You're right though all my eggs are in one basket and I was just got screwed quite hard by that. I was thinking of uploading watermarked pictures and videos to different sites but until now it's been just a thought. Good advice thank you.

Didn't much done yesterday had some work to do on the car. All the same task from yesterday need to get done today. I've decided not to get rid of sumome app for email collect. I have received my first email from it. I think I willl change when it pops up though.

Nice and good luck, I love journey threads. I'll be following

Got a lot done yesterday. Did something with the main page (nothing fancy but it will do for now) linked all my new subdomains to each other and added sumome to all the domains to collect emails to attempt at doing some email marketing as well. I have collected 2 emails so far I'm glad i didn't get rid of that app.

Turned followliker up a little bit so we are growing a little bit faster now. 65 UVs to the website yesterday which isn't too bad for the amount of followers I have.

Today I'm not sure what I will do yet. I have people coming over for dinner so I don't think I'm going to do much expect fire up the rotisserie.

Got a program to make a bunch of backlinks for me.That was pretty much it for yesterday. Almost hit 100 uvs on the website. I don't know what else to write I may only start updating this thread every couple days or when something exciting happens. Until I get a dedicated server I can't upscale. I'm looking at starting another project pretty soon here I have a couple ideas now have to do some research.

Good Luck with your Journey, mate..

quick update broke 100 UVs yesterday went up to 111. Did that a lot faster than on my old domain so things are picking up and quicker. Cranked up my followliker and added about 1500 new followers yesterday. I'll be back to where I was in no time at all.

Thanks for share your great journey!!

Thank you both. It's been a couple days since I've made an update nothing really new to report on this front. I've started working on my next project last night while this does some growth.

I am not very please with godaddy though. I've only used them to buy domain and I've never had any problems with that. I bought their wordpress hosting because my vps can't handle anymore wordpresses on it fucking up on me. I set the hosting up then I get a prompt telling me it will be ready in 2 mins. half and hour later still will be ready in 2 mins so I call them nothing happens I get a ticket. So I think well it's late anyway I'll go to bed and it'll be ready in the morning. 12 hours later still will be ready in 2 mins. From the ticket I received by email I can expect a response in 72 hours WTF? They've got till just after 12 before I call for a refund absolutly fucking ridiculous the guy on the phone says this is a one in a million chance. Well I must be pretty fucking lucky then because I seem to be getting those a lot.

If anyone here is from BC then they can understand my next rant (totally off topic but I need to vent this ). ICBC is the insurance company in BC they deal with drivers licensing too. I paid them 2k yesterday to settle all my debts with them and to try and get my license reinstated only to find out a suspension from 3 years ago hasn't taken affect yet and the ticket I got at the same time isn't even in the system yet. On top of that I have to take a safe driving class that costs just under 1k so I'm looking another 2k before I even try to fight them wanting to extend my suspension (from 3 years ago). I'll be starting a group of radical anti-ICBC terrorists to bomb these mother fuckers. Anyone who wants to join the cause PM me.

lmao and immediatly after I bitch and moan here godaddy comes through

It's been a few days since I've updated haven't forgot about it though just not much to post about. Stats are increasing still not very much in the way of earnings buts its only been a couple weeks things take time.

Earning-----> $ 58.04
Expenses--> $227.21
Net Profit -->$169.17

I've been working on my new project which very different from this one. This journey has served the purpose it was created for which was to get some first hand experience in IM and learn a thing or two. I'm hoping there's a few bucks to be made with it still but only time will tell.

My next project is more of a quality over quantity sort of thing with some actual SEO not just social media traffic that's not to say I won't be using social media. I just won't be solely relying on it.

I'll try to keep this journey updated as much as possible.
