Fresh Start??

Hello everybody!

Something about me:
Long time lurker, I started doing IM a few years ago as a hobby. I was making simple YT videos, reviewing Clickbank products. Back then I was making about $ 500 per month for almost no work (good times). Never took IM seriously, looking back I was in great place to start earning some serious money.

My goal:
My goal is to start earning $1000 per month with an authority site. I started this journey to keep me motivated and disciplined because am a lazy sob. Actually my site is a few months old, but I was never consistent.

Traffic:
Mostly focused on Pinterest and Youtube. I created a YT channel 3 months ago, which has on average 1000 views per day. Am still tweaking some stuff how to redirect viewers to my site. The niche is pretty popular in Pinterest and I like pictures... Also I'll add up to 3 low-competition articles per week to gain some organic traffic.

Monetization:
Adsense, Amazon book reviews, Clickbank product reviews, CPA.
My goal is to capture their email, I offer a free ebook in exchange.

Things to do:
-figure out my customers (how they think, their problems, can I solve/help them)
-create email campaign
-promote appropriate products
-staying consistent

Tommorow I'll create a plan for the next 10 days.

Cheers,

Good luck hope u reach ur goal

Chose a few long tail keywords, my goal this week is to write atleast 3 articles.

Set a Mailchimp autoresponder ( most of my free time went to testing, how mailchimp works, added a free ebook - with some aff offers)


Pinterest:
-Following a bunch of people, trying to get to around 50 followers.
-Created a few boards within my niche, added 200 repins.
-Sended about 20 request for Pinterest group boards, to my suprise got 2 invites within 1 hour (lucky).
-Made 1 custom pins for each board with good description, currently using Canva

Youtube:
-No video today, spent about 1 hour responding to comments, adding/changing description to some videos.

Youtube stats for the past month



This week i'll check some twitter and instagram bots.

Am not happy with today, could do more, but setting up the autoresponder really ate a lot of time.

Good luck man, and keep going. Slow steady progress is now to make it in internet marketing

Goodluck with your journey! I somewhat have the same goal of starting off with making at least $1000 a month, so I will be watching.

Tnx. Did manage 2 articles, halfway writing the 3. I realized it was bad and started again.

Writing was always such a pain for me. I started writing first thing in the morning, for 30min to 1h), just to get it out of the way.

Pinterest started to show some promise, there were some spikes in traffic, got a few email subscribers.
My daily routine on Pinterest is about 10-20 own pins and 100 repins.
This week I'll set up Tailwind and BoardBooster account, to boost my growth.

Really nice. I have tried Pinterest but in my case, I can not get even 1 person to my website. Any recommendation?

You'll have to give them reason to click, think of titles like "best ways to..", "top 10 ...", "how to..."
I use 2 types of pins, the ones above and "pretty" pins, to get repins and following (quotes)

Pinterest traffic isn't really converting, but the potential is big.
Below you can see my analytics, you would expect big traffic on website, but my average is around 50 visitors per day.


Once I start using Tailwind and BoardBoost, I expect to see bigger numbers
