I'm starting this thread to show my way from 0 to 1 million. I?m new to IM, but I have been on BHW for 2 weeks now, so I feel ready. I?m thinking I should be able to do it in 6 months, but I like to be conservative so I?m giving it 8 months. 12 on the outside. Now that you know a bit about me let's get started.
Day 1
Plan: Buy domain and set up wordpress. Research keywords.
Result: Went to godaddy to buy domain. Card declined. Got depressed, went to bed.
Day 2
Fresh start. Feeling really good today. Going to buy a domain and get WP installed. Got some great ideas for keywords.
Result: Card still declined.
Day 3
Called mother. She didn?t want to give out her card details. Said she didn?t trust me. Called father, pretended to be Amex calling for a routine check. Managed to get card details.
Results: Godaddy didn?t accept Amex. Got depressed, went to bed.
Day 4
Borrowed girlfriend?s VISA while she was still in bed. Bought coolstuff-from-amason.com
Results: Realized amazon is spelled with a ?z?. Feeling a little bit depressed, but read on BHW that every time you fail you learn something, so you still sort of succeeded.
Day 5
Feeling very optimistic today. Full of energy. Have decided to go with the domain from last night ? have some great ideas for a logo. Did some keyword research and found that ?Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 with Built-In Multi-Touch Touchpad (920-003070)? is considered low competition. It?s on Amazon for $ 33 so that should be $3 easy money for me with Amazon Affiliate.
Result: Forgot I needed hosting. Looking into it as we speak.
Day 6
Hosting up and running (girlfriend called VISA for a chargeback on mysterious transactions, so could be a problem. Note to self: do backups of site regularly). WP installed. Writing article about the K400 keyboard.
Day 7
Article out. Already had 2 visitors according to Google analytics. Waiting for Amazon to approve my affiliate application. Big yacht in Bahamas, here I come.
Day 8
Yippi! Application approved. 7 pageviews today. 2 of them may have been me, not sure. Still feeling pretty good about myself.
Day 9
Note to self: when keeping backups, keep them offsite.
Day 10
Back on new server. Pageviews down to 5, but buying a fiverr gig tomorrow.
Day 11
WOW! I mean WOW! 156 000 pageviews today. Traffic from fiverr gig really making an impact. Looking into tickets to Bahamas. Pretty stiff prices ? may have to go with business class instead of first unless conversion rate very good.
Day 12
Something odd going on. Amazon says 2 clicks and 0 conversions.
Day 13
Guy on fiverr very rude. Told me to sodomize myself with a carrot when I complained about the quality of traffic. Pageviews back to 7. Feeling a little bit disappointed with the results so far.
Day 14
I?M ON FIRST PAGE OF GOOGLE! My site coming up on 9[SUP]th[/SUP] place for ?Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 with Built-In Multi-Touch Touchpad (920-003070) want to buy cheap?. Thinking I should write a new article and target some more products.
Feeling very happy with the first 2 weeks of my IM life. Will keep you posted on progress.
