My first public journey thread - so I'm open to any and all suggestions on how you would like to see it shaped.

The goal is simple. Make $125,000 in 24 hours or less. When? Black Friday 2018.

In previous years I've made between $10-50k, but this year I'm simply stepping it up. I will be attacking from several
different sources - such as Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, SEO, Emails, Amazon, Blogs etc.

There will be TONS of work included in this, everything preparational work. On the actual day, I will just sit back
and let everything unfold, for better or worse.

So, how am I making the money?
I run a pretty successful watch brand in the mid-end price range ($279 per watch). We sell world-wide, with a
very strong base in US, Australia and Sweden.

The goal is to sell 650 watches during Black Friday. This would equal to $181,000 - but since it's Black Friday, we're
running a 30% discount - making it a total count of $127,000.

Examples of topics I will cover
SEO: My journey of ranking highly competitive keywords in under 2 months, white-hat.
Sales: Optimizing the order-funnel and website for Black Friday
Partnership: Finding 3-rd party sellers that are willing to dropship
Guest-posting: Getting our articles and links published on other websites
Amazon: Optimizing our listings, SEO and CTR for Black Friday
Instagram: Finding & closing partnerships with pages that will promote us during BF
Facebook: Creating and optimizing ads for Black Friday (most expensive day of the year for ads)
Facebook: Building a lead-magnet to gather thousands of email addresses for BF
Emails: Creating a highly-converting email campaign that will break through the noise
... and much, much more...


Disclaimer:
For anyone interested, the watch website can be found on the link in my BHW profile. I would ask of you not to
publically write the name or website in this thread, as I don't want it indexed. Thanks :)

FAQ:

Why $125,000?
It is a realistic goal compared to previous years, where I didn't do any SEO, Amazon, Pinterest, and blogs.
Also, it translates to 1 million of my local currency (Swedish Krona), which has always been a goal to make in a day.

What will you cover in this journey?
I will try to approach it with the practical steps so you as a reader can replicate it.
No secrets, no mystery stuff. If I find a good method, I'll share it.

How often will you update?
No clue. I don't have a lot of free time, but when I do, I'll see if I can update here.

---

If there's any questions, please ask. If there's any particular topic you would like me to cover in the journey, let me know.
I'll try to keep it as transparent and educating as possible.

Wish me luck! :)

I have one question: How do you buy the watches from the provider? In bulk or per order? Do you pay him before you sell, or after?

Best wishes with your journey!
 
Thanks for all the support guys, truly means a lot to me!

I have some golden nuggets to share and some really interesting ideas to try out, and thinking about setting up a live-feed of sales value for you guys to track in real-time.

What format of sharing/teaching is best? Long posts in text, or videos of me actually doing the tasks (e.g setting up campaigns and actually working). I think the latter could be quite interesting but long videos may bore some.
Thoughts?

Posts... they are searchable for those that don't see the video and offer more opportunity for interaction so that all can see from different perspectives.
 
This is the first journey that has struck my interest in quite some time. Definitely following

I would suggest posts than video...BTW, no need to wish for your adventure as you know what you do....Subscribed to celebrate your success :-)
 
You offer a dropshipping program and that's very interesting to me, I may be contacting you about that soon!
Best of luck on your journey!
 
Oh, I think I remember threads like this one, about Black Friday... Good luck.
