Hello, let me introduce myself. I'm an Italian student currently studying Computer Science. I've always been trying to not conform to others, going "against the current", like Munch in his "Evening on Karl Johan Street".
Now let's talk about my most negative characteristic. I'm a serial procrastinator when it's time to start something, even if once started I won't stop until I've achieved my goal. Just to make an example, I promised to myself to start waking up everyday at 6am at the start of July, I've just achieved this goal. Yes, more than three months later.
I've been earning online as a stable income of 400$/m since I was 17 (I'm 19 now), job that I had to leave due to my high school exams (we graduate at 19 here). Did it worth it? Yes and not. Yes because I won a money prize as I got an high grade, not because I don't have that stable income anymore.
My goal is to have a high stable income before I end university in 2022, as I'm not that kind of guy who says: "I'll wait until I get a bachelor before applying for a job". The point is that I don't want to apply for a job. As my character doesn't allow me to have a boss, I have no chance than to be a freelancer, also because I love travelling, so a 9/5 job wouldn't allow me to do that.
Now let me introduce my project.
As you have read in the title, I want to build an Authority Site, basing my income in ads, affiliate etc.
I've already find a good niche, with a low SEO Difficulty (Max 30 for short keywords - Max 10 for long tail keywords). All these keywords have a search volume that ranges between 10k and 300k.
Before I forget, the site will be in Italian, as the competition is way lower. The second position of many long tail keyword (20K SV) are occupied by some websites with a 3rd level domain names, so it shouldn't be difficult to outrank them, as they aren't even optimized (poor load speed, poor user experience etc.).
I'm going to update this journey daily to keep me motivated, as I said this is a long term project, I don't expect to reach my goal in few days, nor in few months but in years. I'll include in the update expenses, google analytics reports and my todolist.
Also, just to clarify, I'm not going to buy backlinks nor articles, I'm going to do everything by myself, doesn't matter how much time it takes. With this journey I want to learn SEO strategies and tricks, not hire someone to do this for me.
So what I've done until now:
What I have to do:
So that's all until now. I'll give you an update tomorrow, hoping I'll find a domain with a good DA soon.
I hope this journey will inspire some of you to start your own journey.
Until now:
Profit: 0€
Expenses: 0€
I'll list profits and expenses in euros as I live in EU.

So what I've done until now:
- Find a niche (I think this is the most difficult step to do).
What I have to do:
- Find and buy a domain (maybe an expired one with a DA < 20 - Just to avoid to start from 0)
- Setup a VPS - I'll start with Vultr and CentMinMod (1Gb High Frequency) [6$+VAT/m]
- Setup WordPress
- Setup a Theme - I'll use Jannah [0$ as I have access to Festinger's Vault]
- Setup a Cookie and Privacy Policy
- Be GDPR Compliance
- Setup a mailing list
- Setup a Youtube Channel to drive traffic to my site.
- Write 10 articles and make related videos (if possible)
- Apply my site to Adsense (I already have an adsense account, so the process should take less time).
So that's all until now. I'll give you an update tomorrow, hoping I'll find a domain with a good DA soon.
I hope this journey will inspire some of you to start your own journey.
