Target Failed, But More Motivated Than Ever! One Month In
When I first joined WA, I set a very ambitious (and maybe a little silly) target of writing 1000 articles in 1000 days. This target was absolutely achievable when I had the whole day to myself and I made a great start writing 16 articles in 16 days.
However, then real life hit and I had to go back to University. The work load there was much higher than I was expecting and, unfortunately, I had to put article writing on the back seat. I have still wrote 22 articles in the first 30 days of the website being live which still ain't too bad.
I am not really getting any traffic yet, but this was expected. I am ranking for 30 phrases on webmaster tools, but not many yet for my target keywords. Hopefully, this will begin to change as I build out more content. I am now aiming for 70 articles on my website on Christmas Day. Hopefully, at that time, I will have a small, but steady stream of traffic visiting my site.
Other things to do over the next few months;
> Start work on a free e-book which I will give away to viewers in exchange for their e-mail.
> I really need to switch the theme of my site to make it more visually appealing. I am focusing on building content for now. When I hit my 70 target, I will begin work on the switch over.
Here is my site: http://moodsupplementsguy.com/
I have also got a referral from somewhere. I have no idea how this happened as I have not posted my WA Affiliate link anywhere. Looks like I have 2 WA tokens which I can exchange for $1. Please let me say I can count this as my first Internet $$$!!!!
Let me know what you think of my progress and I encourage any constructive feedback!
Have a great day guys

Wow that's awesome Mark! Seems like you have a really good plan laid out for yourself. 1000 articles in 1000 days is super ambitious. Remember to focus on quality content as that's one of the main factors of getting a good ranking.
I agree that you need to switch your theme and possibly get a logo done instead of a text website title but as you said you can do that at anytime. You can get a logo done on Fiverr.com for $5. That's where I get them done for my sites. I wrote a blog post awhile ago about it and also recommended a designer on there who does fabulous work for me.
Wish you success!
Hey, thanks for the advice.
I failed the 1000 article target, but I am still doing OK. Hopefully some traffic will come soon!
All the best!

I'm sorry to hear that. I failed mine too.
By the way, how long do you spend on producing a post as in research, drafting, looking for images and stuff?
