Kacper's Journey to steady $5k a month

Do not worry, I am not going to give up. I was just away for the last few days and didn't have an opportunity to work on the project.
The site was down during my trip - there were some problems with migration to the VPS. I figured them out though.

Pinterest ? the account was suspended, I don't have a clue why. I followed 100 people who reppined my most popular pin in 5 mins, this may be the reason. I wrote to Pinterest and hope to hear from back soon.
Facebook ? 532 (-1)
e-mail ? 32 (+1) I deleted 3 fake subscribers, so it should be +4 actually

Hey, good luck with your journey. I'm from Poland too - 1 year younger than you and I'm going to study abroad as well - but in the UK ;) And I'm in the Clickbank marketing too, but as I see we use kinda different methods.

Niech moc będzie z Tobą i powodzonka :)
 
This is really amazing Journey. Naprawdę świetny dziennik, Powodzenia ;)

Dziękuję :-). Jak chcecie przedyskutować strategie itd. to dodajcie mnie na Skype.
 
Great journey, man! Wish you huge success. BTW you have mentioned earlier you might share later your way of getting quality content for free. If it's not a secret anymore, it would be interesting to find that out.
 
@elbulgarian
I haven't reached my goal yet, so I am not going to share the method.

New articles are published on a daily basis. The site gets steady 100-200UV a day, mainly from Twitter.
The keywords start to moving up as well :-). So the traffic from search engines should improve soon.

Mr. Blue - Postponed

I am currently working with one of the BHW members on a project related to YT and copywriting.
Yesterday, I found a really handy spreadsheet for all the people aspiring to become entrepreneur.
I have been constantly working on the sites and finding a room for improvement.

I consider purchasing a thesis theme. Would you recommend it over Genesis?
 
Can you elaborate the copyright thing a bit. I have been thinking of starting a YT channel in CGP Grey style, but I still don't quite understand it that much, since I haven't thought about it until just recently. I understand that if it is "educational" or for a "review" it is allowed, even if it does not have the Creative Commons license.

I was talking about copywriting, not copyrights.
I think that CGP Grey uses either his or CC images.
 
Great journey kacperp94. I hope you reach your goal! So far it looks pretty promosing.
 
So how are you ranking new websites now that g puts a sandbox for 3-6 months? I'm curious to know
 
Just want to say good luck. Good to see people from Poland trying to earn dollars online. Good luck!

//Powodzenia i nie poddawaj sie ;-)

I don't do a lot of linkbuilding. I get a lot of organic backlinks though. I created some web2.0 properties as well, but not that many.
I will focus on SEO someday soon :-). Right now I am concerned only about social media.
