Time to make some money!

Hey guys I just thought I'd give a little progress report.

Here is my site http://whatisinireland.com/

As I mentioned before I had the intention to create enough content to gain authority and traffic from Google before monetizing my site. I had set the bar at 30 posts.

Today I have reached that milestones. I have many posts up around the top five Google pages but only one so far on page one (I will get more there yet). I currently gain 40-70 visitors daily with only a small percent coming organically but I get a lot of returning visitors.

Anyway I feel this is sufficient enough to give me a good start being too greedy will get me nowhere. So let me tell you how I plan to proceed.

Firstly my site needs many affiliate programs to cover all aspects which will include Hotels, B&B's, car rental, ferries, flights, genealogy and possibly more. I know there are programs in all of these.

I will research all of these and pick the best ones on the factors of commissions, pay outs and return business. I will add adsense too but use it quite lightly.

I may use Amazon at a later date to promote some products such as books and DVD's but I am not a great fan of Amazon. They pay crap and it is hard (practically impossible) to get a good international reach due to shipping.

I will need to structure out my menus and add pages for the appropriate programs, I'm hoping some of them offer search widgets. I will also be writing reviews on some of these services.

I also need to get a social network campaign going and some fan pages. Some of you may know me as quite meticulous. I will not put this out on social media until it is fixed up right with the menus all done, I don't want to put out a half finished product on display in front of my friends and family. I wont even put a photo in my about page until things are done right. I kind of have a policy that I wont put my name to half finished or inferior quality work.

So its time to get clicking, wish me luck.

Jason.

That,s sounds awesome what you intend to do Jason.Wishing you well.

That's awesome to hear! I have 46 posts on my site and continuing to rise. I've signed up with affiliates since around the beginning of my site though I have yet to make my first sale, but I know it is coming as my affiliate links are getting more and more clicks. I've also fairly recently added Google Adsense to my site as well.

Today begins a new chapter for my website and online business as I have now signed up for an email marketing program and I will also be launching live broadcasts of myself playing games to help with difficult areas of open world videogames my site is geared toward. Exciting times are in store for me and you as well as you begin monetizing your site! :)

You have a lot of really great ideas for your site, Jason! You have a great strategy. You'll get there in no time! Alanna

Good luck Jason, I wish you all the best.

Good luck bro!!

Your site looks great. I've seen it several times in the comments thread. I think if you keep doing what you're doing, and start to add some revenue streams, you will succeed in some form. Just how much money this one site will earn is unknown, but this is definitely a great site with huge potential.

It's good to see others who are holding back their marketing campain until the site has gained authority. It encourages me to stay to my principles too!

Nice one!
It's good that you've held off emblazoning your site with affiliate links while in it's infancy.People often sign up to these before any content to their sites.
It's good to hear you had a goal in mind and stuck with it until you reached your milestone.
Now you've gained some good traction i can see -you're going see it pay off.
All the best

Jason your site is looking fantastic it reflects the hard work and effort you have put into it. Don't forget as well when you start to make money use an autoresponder and send out a monthly newsletter with all the offers available plus a few Clickbank products. They are always easier to sell with a follow up communication
Well done and Good luck
