6 Month Plan

Hey all my loyal followers!

So I just wanted to write about this great, crazy idea I have, and my 6ish month plan that I have to achieve it.

I'm writing this out primarily to receive feed back from those who have thought through this stuff before. I'm not really looking for positive feedback. I can get plenty of that, I'm sure. I'm more looking for honest critiques of my plan, so that I make sure I really know what I'm getting into.

So, what is the plan?

My 6 Month Plan

As I was looking at my traffic a long while ago, I noticed that I was getting around 30 people daily to my site. And while that was happening, I got around $10/month from it.
So I theorized that if I change up my blog, and start promoting higher-end commissions, I could make it $30/month (I promote some rather low priced products with low commissions). And if I worked extra hard, I thought I would be able to make that $60/month.

What I was basically theorizing was that if I'm getting 30 ppl per day, and making $60 per month, then, basically, my site would make monthly, double the number of my daily traffic.

I know it sounds confusing. Let me try to explain it. If I get 20 people to my site daily, and make $40 a month from it, my monthly income is double the number of the traffic that I get every day.

Make sense?

So I theorized, if this is true (which I realize is a really big IF), then if I want to make $2000 per month, all I need to do is get a daily traffic of 1000 people. How hard can that be? I asked my self.

If I have 30 people to my site daily, how many times would I need to double that traffic to make it (approximately) to 1000? Well let's see...

30...

60...

120...

240...

480...

960... (close enough to 1000)

6 numbers. And the first one I've achieved already. So, if I could achieve 1 of those numbers each month, it would take around 5 months, right?

So what exactly is my plan to achieve this crazy idea?

The plan of the century, or, well, the plan of a crazy person...

Month 1

Write 20+ quality articles
Start building social media platforms for site
(putting as much content on the site is essential to having more traffic further on down the road. Additionally, establishing social media would help with bringing in more traffic)
End of the Month Goal = 60 daily traffic

Month 2

Write another 20+ quality articles
Continue to build out social media platforms
Find several blogs to be able to guest post on
(As I continue to write articles, the articles from the previous month(s) should continue to move up in their ranks, and bring in more traffic. Also, continuing to find what works/doesn't work will help contribute to the daily number of traffic)
End of the Month Goal = 120 daily traffic, 50 articles on site

Month 3

Continue doing the same as months 1/2
Start building/learning the in's/out's of email subscription/marketing
(when a site is consistently getting 100 ppl daily is when one should start seriously thinking about an email subscribers list. While it won't exactly bring the traffic count up, it will give another base of followers to help bring about more revenue)
End of the Month Goal = 240 daily traffic, 70 articles on site

Month 4

Follow the same as months 1,2,3
start experimenting with displaying ads on site
(Once again, ads won't bring traffic to my site, but will be another way to monetize my blog. Also, as my articles mature, and social media platforms expand, I should continue to be increasing my traffic)
End of the Month Goal = 480 daily traffic, 90 articles on site

Month 5

Continue to follow the same plan as month 4
search for other ways to monetize blog/knowledge acquired
(Site should have mature quite nicely by now, especially with the content on it. Social media should be doing well, and I've should have learned by now where best to display ads)
End of the Month Goal = 960 daily traffic, 110 articles on site.

That's the plan...

Will it work? I don't know. I'm going to give it a go, unless many of you guys can give me good reason for not doing it. I'm not really focused on the money as much as the traffic. Worse comes to worse, I'll sell my site to the highest bidder in 6 months, and figure out what to do at that time.

Will I be able to do all that outlined? Oh yeah! I've been experimenting these last few days, and have been able to write 2 articles each day. So my hope is that I'll be able to have 40-60 articles on my site per month, instead of 20+. But we'll see. If I can do 2 a day, that will definitely help boost my traffic a lot more than just 1 article a day.

So that's my plan. Let me know all the negative thoughts you have for me, because that's what I'm honestly looking for. Yeah, you can tell me to go for it, and give me all the encouragement in the world, but that's not really what I need right now. Hard, sad facts are what I'm looking for.

Can't really see anything wrong with your plan. Just be aware that quality is as important as quantity. Jim

Right on. Can't forget quality as I write, even if I'm able to bring out a quantity of posts
