Wassup,
I'm posting this journey primarily to have a place to organize my thoughts and look back at my progress. Here we go.
The Goal:
- Have an "authority site" in my niche and monetize the traffic with Amazon Affiliate and AdSense
- Traffic will be organic/free at first (SEO, Social Media) but I'm gonna focus on backlinks and other stuff further down the road
Starting Position:
- I found a niche/keywords that seem easy to rank
- I already have hosting, a good domain name, a fitting WordPress theme installed and I put up 2 Posts already
- I've signed up for Amazon Affiliate in 3 different countries
- Also got all the amazon disclaimer/cookie compliance/privacy policy stuff done
- Right now I plan to allocate 2 hours a day to this project, in the future I might be able to do more when I finish up on some of my other life responsibilities
Planning:
- got ideas for 30+ more posts / keywords
- I plan to drive additional traffic through IG and TikTok at first, might spread to other SM later on
- I'm gonna use quizzes because that's perfect for my niche
To-Do:
- fully understand Amazon OneLink, if it's useful
- write posts
- decide on pillar articles
- find a good quiz plugin (one that allows ads)
- get the website approved by AdSense
- make a store page
- build a mailing list
- build up social media profiles
- get additional content ideas from reddit
Focus Chain:
build up Content/SEO -> start building up SM profiles -> get AdSense Approval -> make quiz content -> start a mailing list -> build a store page -> Phase 1 done.
- Project time horizon: 6 months
___________________________
I plan on doing weekly progress updates. For the first week, I won't set any goals. After seeing what is possible for me to accomplish within a week, I'm gonna try to improve by 1 percent.
Here are the general guidelines for the upcoming week:
I'm gonna figure out whether and how I can download and use pictures from amazon on my website, aside from using API.
I will write posts that are at least 500 words long, each with a CTA/Product recommendation at the end.
