[JOURNEY] First SEO site ever, aiming $1/day

Good luck! this is very interesting i think you will only go up from now. higher your work not your expactations.
btw you should also higher the expactations do like 50$ a day as goal.
Thanks for the support, mate!
 
Site 2 made ~$4 dollars from a guest post and Site 3 made ~$9 dollars from two guest posts today!
They barely have any traffic, but still receiving some that is generating one or another affiliate click. Hope it sells.
I'm giving time for google find their backlinks, maybe next week they will rank better.

Also, I started a AI blog in one of the two domains I said I bought. Let's see how that rolls.

Let's see our main thread subjective, Site 1 AdSense:

I think weekly gains are $1.5 - $2 dollars by now. I'll write some new articles later trying to aim to less competitive keywords, since the ones I wrote before have not ranked. I'll later see which articles are almost ranking and try to find new keywords for them.

I also need to write more articles to Site 2 and Site 3, because I think they have potential. Trying to grow Site 2 Instagram too so I can get reference traffic, but it's hard even using an Instagram Bot to auto follow/like. I get 5 to 8 follows a day.

Thinking about creating a Telegram Channel of affiliate (sales, coupons, etc) using Site 1 traffic. With time, I think it may work.

Well, you can see, a lot of thoughts, but no so many actions. I hope this week I put into practice.
 
Hi, friend how are You doing ?
Any update on your project?
All the best

You are doing well, and I love that you are not giving up. I wish you all the best.
BTW, are you using GPT 4 or 3.5?
Good luck again.

3.5, I have not subscribed to OpenAI so I guess I can't use 4. Does it have a big difference?

UPDATE:

I'm kind of bored, even tho the site is growing. It was kind of the same for some time but then it grew a bit.

I've lost completely my Google Discover traffic, I don't know why. I'm trying to work on my blog E-A-T and see if it comes back. It really bothers me because Discover traffic can help in the earnings.

I've setup some 2 automatic postings, one according to the niche my site ranks the most (education) and other is google trends real time about science/tech. It has not passed enough time to see if it will work. Anyways, here is analytics and AdSense print.

Adsense:

Site earnings in Adsense is varying $0.25~$0.5 per day. Mostly ~$0.4.

Other sites haven't grew enough to use AdSense. Their earnings come from guestposts.
When I get some money next month from a domain sell, I'll invest it in guestposts and see if it will get better. Hope so, I don't want to waste $100.

Also, if someone feels inspired and want to help me in this journey, feel free to help me.
 
nice post/ journey. Have you considered introducing affiliate links and try earning that way?

I'll re-try to use affiliates related to the niche and try to post reviews. I have other site that is focused in affiliates but it has veeery small traffic. As soon as I reach my goal of $1/day in the first site I'll try to focus more in this one. But it seems harder since "review" keywords and commercial demand more authority.

makes sense, good luck mate I'll be following.
 
Também sou do BR, como podemos conversar pra trocar networking?
 
hey mate, quick question, not sure if i missed it or forgot, slowly reading the thread. You are Brazilian and you have the 3 sites now, are your articles in Portuguese or English? I assume it is Portuguese and English people just convert/translate it to English but that is why your traffic is tier 3?

How do you get your guest post buyers? Do they just email you/your site? I mean it seems most of your revenue might be derived from this now so maybe build out your sites and aim to get 1 guest post per day and you can earn more! Congrats also on the progress
 
Just updating a little bit here. 1 February to 20 March!

As soon as I reach $100 in AdSense I guess I will try to make my site full-affiliate ads instead of AdSense.
I think it can work because I accidentally niched my site very well and almost all my traffic comes from a specific public.
I was thinking about maybe creating my own product or something.

It has now almost 500-700 new users/daily and ~800-900 sessions. I think maybe $1 per day for this traffic is little.
But that only time will tell.

One week earning $1 or more per day. I'm going to close this thread because my challenge is now different: $5 per day. Link here: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/journey-5-per-day.1585107/

Even tho that's not much, I'm proud of myself. I started studying more about SEO around September - October and did this with an extremely small budget and buying very few backlinks.
This website grew 100% or more almost EVERY month constantly.
