Wow! I am excited to follow this journey.
I started Amazon around 1 year ago. If I had a chance to go back and tell myself one thing, it would be to don't be afraid to make a lot of websites. I am currently doing 2 websites per month now but previously only made 1 website in 8 months. I made that website really successful without much effort at all. I checked the income daily and I loved it, but I could have worked on other sites and made much, much more.
I later sold it and as I didn't work on other sites I didn't have any income after that. I made a lot of money with that first website, but it would be good if I had started earlier with more sites as I would make more. Sorry for ranting on your journey.
Anyway, just keep working and fighting your way in the SERPS. If you put in the action, it WILL get you results!
Good luck!
