Need some advice (selling exposure from blog)

Hey all,

I'm only 10 days away from Jr. VIP .

I've got this idea and I'm wondering if it will be hot or not.

Instead of writing for others, I was thinking of starting my own blog. (I've heard plenty of ways to monetize a blog)

So I was wondering, in terms of steady income, I'm planning on offering an exposure package (text links only). In 20+ articles I write that month, I link to one blogpost of a client. (so instead of selling links, I'm selling exposure itself) This way if my 20+ posts cumulatively get 1 million views, theoretically the client's cumulative links get 1 million views.

let's say that my views per month reach these levels, are these prices reasonable?

10,000 views -- $100
100,000 views -- $250
1,000,000 views -- $550

Not sure if this kind of package is hot or not but wanted your advice just because I don't want to go and spend the time and dedication creating a blog and then getting it to these levels unless i'm sure this package could sell.

How are you gona get that much traffic . It's not as simple as making a website and writing articles .

Theoretically let's say I got it (from 10k, to 1 million), and it's not bought, just all organic. Are any of those levels viable for the package?

believe me I can actually do it. I got like 357 shares on my ONE lifehack article.

I can manage at least 10k views per month if I actually cared enough to make a site (and prob hire a web dev).

I don't need u guys saying the traffic is hard to get... cuz it's not... I just want to know if my packaged plan is viable.

I believe I can manage. I got 400 views from writing 2 articles once... but then stopped doing that cuz the cpm was only 8 for that particular site.

But how are you gona manage get 1 million views .

And also 400 impressions on their link is nothing as you can get that much from Facebook ads for very cheap and targeted

Ya but not 400, I can ramp that up to 10k. I got 400 in 1 day from 2 articles, so if I had continued that it would be 400+ per day writing 2 articles per day.

A million is something i'm not sure is possible either... But if I do get to that level, i'm glad that there would be some demand for that kind of package...
