• I modified the plugin to stop the reviews being added after the content and added the review function to the heatmap theme just after the author meta so its one of the first things the user sees as apposed to the last.

I been have following WhitePassion's IM journey 'Amazon affiliates journey to a stable income' (I cant post links..) quite closely for the last few weeks and it has got me motivated to start my own IM journey. Basically my initial goal will be to have my car payments ( $600 pm ) covered by my affiliates site and will help free up cach to invest in other IM opportunities. I think it is quite a realistic goal and hope you enjoy!

To start, I searched for a Godaddy coupon and bought my domain for $2. It's a partial .com and I didn't want an EMD as the niche is slightly broad, though combined with the titles, it will have the full targeted keywords within the URL's.

I ordered 32 articles from Natasha Nixon yesterday ( $200 ) and am dividing them up like so: 12 articles will be product focused/reviews and the rest will be informative and engaging.

Iv'e also chosen to go with Wordpress HeatMap AdAptive ( Free version ) and have made some modifications to the theme.

Review Schema

• I modified the plugin to stop the reviews being added after the content and added the review function to the heatmap theme just after the author meta so its one of the first things the user sees as apposed to the last.

I have already setup all my categories based on my keyword research with Market Samurai.

I am busy with the banner for the site and writing up content for the featured block on the home page and the about us page.

Next I will have to write up a short intro to each category as the heatmap theme displays them.

I want to automate my social posting so will be doing some research on auto social poster plugins.

Hope I reach my goal and motivate someone! thanks for reading.
