Day 7 of 30: Ranking 1st for Primary Keyword

Indexed And Ranking on Page 1 in Google...

AND at the top of the page.

Actually I own the first few spots.

Now, let me be clear on something. I am laser focusing my marketing on one keyword.

This first site is in the "DIY" ("Do-It-Yourself") niche and I can tell you now that it's not "How to Scrapbook" :) ...

Can you imagine how long it would take to rank for something like that?!

Page 1 After 7 Days? You MUST Be Doing Something Shady

Nope.

My approach has nothing to do with targeting the most popular search terms and trying to "game" the system.

I'm not cheating. Ain't nobody got time for that!

All I'm doing is being ULTRA specific the term I am going after and not addressing any other latent keywords at this stage.

I'm focusing on one keyword and one keyword only.

Listen, I know that it's best to go after multiple keywords and build an authority site to generate a boat-load of traffic.

I'm testing out this new strategy in my challenge and will let you know how it goes.

What's The Purpose of The Site?

Keeping it simple.

One term, one affiliate product.

The site is a "funnel" for that product. The entire site - which (as a reminder) is focused on one term in the DIY niche.

I could try to get some email captures on there and what not but honestly that's not the point of the site.

Maybe on another project but this challenge is about affiliate income.

Sure, the down-side is that I can't build up an email list and market to them later.

The up-side is I don't have to worry about anything other than traffic.

  • No product creation.
  • No customer support.
  • No emailing various promotions.

Those things are great in other scenarios, but also quite a bit more time consuming.

Okay, So What Are The Goals?

Honestly? Anything.

The affiliate program has 75% payout with an average payout in the $30s. One site isn't going to result in a fortune by nature of the keyword.

However, over time more sites will be added to the portfolio. It'll add up. It's all about the "long game".

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

This challenge is to earn affiliate income in 30 days... and that's what I aim to do. Even if it's just $1.

So onward!

Interesting approach Skyler.
You seem to know what you are doing. I am sure your challenge will be a success!
Looking forward reading about your progress :)

Thanks Angel!

great great, you're getting nearer to your success! just aim high and go for it!

That's the plan :)

I'd wish you luck, but I think you're making your luck. Interested in your progress. Thanks for following me, now I'm following you.

Thanks!

Congratulations Skyler... You really are a pro on these things.

Thanks for the encouragement - though I'm far from a pro - just trying my best :)

Am still struggling with my first website and iv no idea how to fix the privacy policy among a multitude of other jagons.

What do you mean by 'fix the privacy policy'?

Am building my website and am at the section of pages. Am supposed to write 1. Getting started. 2. About me. 3. Privacy policy... Iv written about me.. Iv left the other two sections blank because I don't know what to write.

Google "privacy policy generator" and you'll find some that you can use.

Thanks.. How will I paste to the privacy page

At the end of the generator you can copy it and then paste it to your site.

Okay.. Iv already googled but there are so many am not sure which is suitable for this kind of program. Is it commercial or personal ?

personal is probably fine

Okay thax.

Hey Skyler, a real entrepreneurial approach, keep your feet inside the box but head out side. You have certainly added interest to this network.
Keith

Thank you for the kind words of encouragement Keith!

Following you closely Skyler. Keep up the good work.

Thank you Jeff!

well done skylern,all you now need is traffic then making your money back for the other expenses plus $1 and you are in profit. 23 days to go should be a piece of cake now.
shows what can happen if you use a good system.

phil

I certainly hope so Phil!

So your trying to rank your domain for 1 main keyword. but using related keywords as posts to boost your whole domain for the main keyword which would obviously have a larger number of traffic? In my experience that strategy works :)

That's about right Josh, though any related keywords are by accident. It's possible the others will results in a small trickle of visitors.

That's awesome! If you're already ranked #1 it's just a matter of time before the payouts come. Pretty impressive for such a short amount of time. Good job!

Thanks! Although the payouts won't be "massive" by any means, hopefully it does eventually get net-positive :)
