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

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?

Hi Mark have a plan and work on it.

Hey,
Yes, I have renewed my plan and it is now realistically achievable. I will not fail this time!

Right on Mark!

Keep it up Mark,

Thanks, will do

Keep up the good work,

Thanks, will do!

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!
