Wealthy Affiliate Challenge Month 1

rpenf

Published on August 13, 2014

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I've been a member at WA since last year but hadn't really done anything with it.

So I decided to set myself a challenge. Build a website dedicated to making money online the WA way (?).

The initial target was how long would it take to be making $1k per month from the site.

I want this to be my ongoing main online project.

I see the first few months about getting the site and content right before implementing all the traffic driving techniques that I feel I can be good at, including PPC probably in month 4.

Ready to put this into action?

I've done a blog post with all the analytics and stats stuff at http://wealthyaffiliatechallenge.com/wealthy-affiliate-month-1-results

At end of month one there really isn't much to say on the stats.

For me the highlights have been...

  • Writing daily updates on the blog in a journal style has been surprisingly enjoyable (never kept a journal before)
  • Becoming more active within the WA community has been great.
Up till now most of the content has just been written without any thought to keywords and traffic.
But I feel that has to change to find easy win targeted traffic. So I may have to look to target a sub niche within the whole make money online space.
In closing I just want to thank the community members for their kind words and encouragement.
Till next time
Richard
