I contemplated doing this for a long time, in the end I felt like only positive things can come from documenting my progress. Especially since all you kind hatters will guide me 
Background
Where I'm at now
After assessing all of the options I've decided that I want to make 2 websites in different niches, and 10-15 2.0s. around each (eventually)
I have experience with wordpress so this is not a problem.
Site 1
Still to do
Site 2
Still to do
Plan
I plan to finish site one first, hopefully in the next day or 2. Once I have a video made I will pay for views/social signals etc. I also plan on using meatheads method to get some immediate traffic to asses the site. From these metrics I will tweak site and start bing ads.
I started site 2 originally but put it on the backburner, I feel site one has the potential to make money faster.
No money or traffic to date.
I'm so hungry for this, but I might need some help along the way so please get involved, ask me anything and suggestions welcomed!
Background
- I have never made any money online
- I studied marketing, (not digital) then afterwards started to read everything I could about IM, this was around 2012
- I traveled for a few years so never got to practice
- Returned to my homeland, got a job in PR and worked in social media for a year
- Decided this was shit so took one of their clients and "started" my own business
- I decided now that this business is not the road I want to travel (It just isn't scalable in a way I want)
- I've always wanted to work completely online but just never had the opportunity, the client I have takes up very little of my time so essentially I am able to commit 50 hours+ pw to IM. It also provides me with enough money to pay my rent and invest in some tools etc.
