Noob's journey from 0 to 100$/day : everything explained!

[QUOTE="Don Vito" Genovese;5584788]Hey guys, I'm back!

Tomorrow I may start a YT+CPA experiment ... my blog is up and running, awaiting content and SEO...Things are moving a bit slow today, since my head hurts because of yesterday's partying ...

Good to see you back - be careful not to stray too far from your main area. It's a mistake I see many people do. Instead of focusing on one thing and getting good at it, they jump from method to method, making almost nothing with each before they move on. Just a tip :)

Hey, first of all, nice to see you're watching my thread!

I don't think I'm going to stray too far, since I have tried to keep myself as organised as possible, and not let anything to chance; having said that, my main objective is still in sight, and is still getting my undivided attention; what I will do, however, is use the spare time that I have (waiting for the articles for example), and I will invest it into something similar, but less important.

I truly hope this will let me gain a few steps towards my goal! After all, this journey kind of represents my learning curve, so I might as well try more than one thing in order to gain experience faster.

thanks again for supporting me, and I'll probably post another update today.

I want to thank all of you again for your support!
Here's an update: what I did today (and yesterday evening):
  • I started a profile (what I call a 'profile' is the equivalent web presence of a real person: facebook, twitter, blog, website, email etc), starting with a gmail account, g+ profile, youtube account; it looks kind of real, which is a good thing, considering social signals may be important for the niche I tried to touch (gaming ... with a profile of a really cute girl ... I mean come on, that sh*t's like a unicorn!)
  • I re-downloaded my article database to my work PC, and spoke with the person that's going to translate them (for those of you that kept up with my story, it's not my friend, but seems like it's going to be his gf ...anyways ...); it all seems ok, I will email the articles today and I should expect them in a few days.
  • I added around 150$ to the total funds of the project
  • I found a guy that's theoretically going to finish one of my offline projects for a share of the profit, which means I could invest some more funds in this project sometime soon
  • used the youtube profile to download and re-upload 2 videos, just for testing purposes: I tried optimizing the title, description, and tags with what I think should be relevant and appropriate keywords, now I'm just letting them stay up there in order to gather some data concerning the number of views/day for a given competition
  • I also used the google account to open a blogger account, designed the little blog, rewrote an article on a game, added 3 photos and a youtube video and I let it stay there, again, for testing purposes; the article and one of the videos are about the same game, so after the video gets indexed, I will link the 2;
  • I decided on a CPA network I'm going to use, as well as a CPD one;
  • I added 2 new tools to my toolbox :)

 
Now I'm at work, and things are going kind of slow, not having my own PC with me and all, but it's still early, and I hope to get to do a lot more before the end of this day;

bottom line is: I'm more motivated than ever to see some results! I need to get to around 10$/day in 2 months in order to keep going, which I don't think it's going to be much of a problem ... what do you think, bhatters?

I'm gonna update again, once I have something interesting to say ... see you soon!

as a side note, I had a serious fight with my parents last night, and they basically told me that they're throwing me out in a month or so...
also, I just had a fight with my girlfriend ... I'm not absolutely sure, but I think we kind of broke up...

f0ck my life, right?
 
so I continued my journey today ...

  • I made 3 google accounts, together with g+ profiles, youtube accounts... I got into clickbank and enhanceviews; I read 2 other wso's on YT+CPA; uploaded 2 other test videos; yesterday's test results are ok, in my opinion: around 10-20 people visited the videos and blogs, with no seo whatsoever, and with 1 day of age ...


  • I sent the articles and I will get around 4-5 in about 2 days; until then I will have enough time to configure everything else about my blog;

Tomorrow I will register for CPA and CPD accounts, I think; also,
I will dig deeper into my game niche for the YT thing ...
I will probably review my keyword list for my adsense site, by applying the knowledge I found in one of the wso's I read yesterday ...


I'm really tired, and I have to wake up in the morning ... this sucks ! ... I don't feel like doing anything anymore ...

wish me luck guys, I'll need it!

  • I've started using a really good project management software, called asana;
  • I signed up with analytics and webmaster tools for all of my sites;



  1. I finally have a clear list of things I have to do before I can consider my project as 'finished'!
  2. I will rewrite some articles (other than those that I already sent); I will post these as simple update posts on my main blog;


I am thinking of not updating this thread anymore, since nobody seems to be following it anymore ...

Nah you should continue to update it. I am following it from post # 1. I know your life is a bit messy but stay strong! good things will come to those people who kept on walking forward.

Whats your total investment and earning so far?

thanks mate, I'll keep updating then!
I've earned nothing so far!
Investment: 20$ and a lot of time ...
 
what I have so far:
  • 5 youtube/google accounts, 2 videos in total
  • 1 blogger game blog
  • 1 wordpress blog with Thesis installed and SEO made, installed on my domain
  • a lot of freakin' PLR articles, 3GB of SEO books, themes, a lot of sh*t I didn't even get to read yet, but I downloaded, a lot of frustration, and around 100,000 enhaceviews youtube credits...

  1. I'm going to rewrite as many articles as I can today, and I'm going to post them right away (I'm hoping to get around 4 or 5 done tonight)
  2. once I finish this, I'll update again ... I can't wait to start seeing some results!

cheers for being there for me, mate!

I just finished rewriting an article, the most important one: 1045 words ... damn that took a long time!
still ... 100% unique, 2.3% for my main keyphrase, over 1000 words ...

I just set it as a static page on the homepage of my blog on my domain... I'm going to write others now ...


I can't wait for this all to work, I need it to work!!!
thanks for your moral support, guys!

OK, update time!

I just got 9 new google general accounts (not optimized for any keyword on youtube)
I changed my theme on WP from Thesis (I didn't like it, customizing it seemed to take too long) to another one, which is highly customizable and has a nice general feeling in relation with my niche. I also installed some general SEO WP plugins, seeing that Thesis isn't there no more to help me with this.


when do you guys think I should apply to AdSense, how many articles should I already have on my blog?
well, see you later, I'm off to work!

  • I wrote another long article today, and put it up as the first post.
  • I tweaked the theme a lot, and customized almost everything; I configured the plugins; one thing I didn't change is the default design, but I kind of think it has something of a neutral look, so even if I would leave it like this, it wouldn't bother anyone.
  • I have prepared my website for the arrival of the adsense people, when they will review my submission; all that's left to do is post some more articles;
  • once I reach around 10 articles, I will try to get into adsense; when I get accepted, the quality of my articles will surely drop, as I will probably start using a spinner and a bit of manual review (right now I'm doing 100% manual writing of articles).
  • I found another niche today, for my next project; it's also an adsense-oriented idea, and it has kind of the same stats, with 2 differences: the main keyword I found today has a bit more competition than this one, but on the other hand, there are more keyphrase expansion possibilities.
  • I'm going to try to write at least another article tonigh.
  • next thing on my to-do list is to find at least another longtail to target with another 2 or 3 articles. I will do that either today or tomorrow morning...
  • ​if I'll feel too tired or I'll want to take a break, I will go onto youtube, and either look for a niche for my YT+cpa adventure, or start looking at AE tutorials and I will try to learn to make an intro, merge videos, cut them, ad audio etc...

how did you guys get accepted for adsense? give me an advice!
 
awesome day today!


  • I just got LongTailPro, and started using it; I also got the 3 day trial of wordAI ( - gotta say, it's pretty amazing!)
so, what I have now is: 2 hours of sleep last night ( -duh!-), around 20, 6-700 words articles (93-97%, highly readable) ready to be published, and a fairly long list of longtails, just waiting to be targeted! also, I just found another freaking niche last night! :D

I'm so motivated today! I feel like the first freakin' dollar is right around the corner, can't wait to finally meet him ! ... and his family! :D


I'm going to work a lot today, I don't really know what right off the bat, I'm going to check my to-do list; I may keep digging in for longtails, and post some of the articles; also, scrape some more articles and rewrite them!

I feel good, I knew that I would, now
I feel good, I knew that I would, now
So good, so good, I got motivation!

Later, dudes! maybe I'll post another update today!
Cheers,

I applied with 6 articles, each with around 700 words, all 100% unique. I got approved.
I'm still following your journey, by the way :)
 
Good luck with your journey, friend! I see you've put in a lot of work so far and I salute that wholeheartedly. Keep your head up through the discouragements and you'll outright shine at the end of the journey. :) Have you accumulated any money yet, or is this all preparation to see the money? I have just begun my journey. Feel free to hit me up on PM or Skype anytime!
