UPDATE 30TH NOVEMBER

Quick addition to this update, my affiliate links have been live for 7 days and I have sold a total of 9 items through Amazon, 6 have been shipped, so I'm just waiting for the others to ship so I can get commission.

I also made my canonical change and it has worked. Google now has the correct KW associated with my desired page and that page has jumped 42 positions to page 1.

My target keyword ranking has improved. I am now position 13 so the growth has been 1 position per day.

Finished my last pillar article. Just needs a bit of formatting for conversions. Will be published soon.

I haven't created anymore content and ranking continues to improve.

Just a quick blog post update about a recent niche project detailed here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/beauandnik/blog/ne...

Here is a list of the things I had to do:

1. Maintain a regular 1x week posting schedule
2. Build out more branded profile backlinks
3. Create YouTube videos to rank for the exact terms im using in my posts
4. Embed these videos within my posts
5. Get a link on wikipedia
6. Guest blogging
7. Write an ebook to create another revenue stream and gather more leads.

Here is what got done:

1. Failed - too much on the go so never got round to posting
2. Failed - see above
3. Failed - see above
4. Failed - see above
5. Failed - see above
6. Failed - see above
7. Failed - see above

HAHAHAHAHA!

Rankings have continued to improve. Page 1 between position 1 to 5 for all of my money keywords except 1, which is ranked 15. I know what I need to do for that.. More content!

I put my ability to rank fast and push authorities off the page due to my on-page SEO. I have a specific process that has just been validated by this test. I have not done any blackhat link building or anything.

Something I have noticed is that Google thinks it should rank one of my articles for a certain term I'm targeting. Unfortunately, this is the wrong article so I will do a canonical on the current ranked post, directing Google to the post I want ranked.

I need to finish one more money post to complete the "pillars" of my site. I just haven't had the time to do this but will get it done ASAP.

I also added my affiliate links to my money pages and within 24 hours I have made a sale. Commission = $0.98 from Amazon. Its small but it can only grow from there. The site doesn't owe me much money so I can tell it will pay for itself soon enough.

List of tasks to be completed:

1. Finish Last pillar article [COMPLETE]
2. Add retargeting pixels
3. Add CTA popups
4. Promote FB group, grow to 1000 likes
5. Post content to FB group 2x per week
6. Reach out to other's in my industry to connect
7. Maintain a regular 1x week posting schedule
8. **Build out more branded profile backlinks
9. Create YouTube videos to rank for the exact terms im using in my posts
10. Embed these videos within my posts
11. **Get a link on wikipedia
    
12. **Guest blogging
13. Write an ebook to create another revenue stream and gather more leads.
