Website Building Update – Week 47

July 23rd, 2010 by Clayton

This week I met some cool Seattle-area internet marketers like Chris Guthrie who runs Make Money on the Internet and Caliban Darklock (the guy with the long hair and the “Here’s Johnny!” smile on the Warrior Forum) among other cool guys (and one gal).
I had to walk around the block a few times to work [...]

Website Building Update – Week 46

July 16th, 2010 by Clayton

This week has been a little off.  I took a short camping trip last weekend to Mt. Rainier with my girlfriend and went hiking through the forest.  My girlfriend took some vacation time this week too so I’ve been working part-time on IM to spend more time with her.  Plus I got this stupid rash [...]

Website Building Update – Week 45

July 9th, 2010 by Clayton

Okay.  I’m starting to feel anxious here.  I’m getting dangerously close to 52 weeks here and I’m not a freakin’ millionaire yet!  In fact, my current monthly earnings only put me at about $15,600 / year gross income.  This is probably about 1/3 of what I would like to be making.  Granted, my friend tells [...]

Website Building Update – Week 44

July 2nd, 2010 by Clayton

Well, June is over and that means I need to do another monthly update.  In June I made $1338.82.  When I break it down to each website’s performance it looks like this:
Website #1 – $204.86  ($86.58 from PPC)
Website #2 – $94.04
Website #3 – $148.44
Website #4 – $665.40
Website #5 – $0  (on hold)
Website #6 – $205.14
Website [...]

Website Building Update – Week 43

June 25th, 2010 by Clayton

Well, I made it through the awkward gear-shifting phase from writing/spinning articles to article marketing.  Surprisingly this is a lot more difficult than it sounds when you’re juggling 7 websites and trying to keep your writer busy.
I’m now doing some heavy backlinking together with my worker on websites #3 and #7.  This is probably what [...]

Website Building Update – Week 42

June 18th, 2010 by Clayton

Wow!  Week 42.  That means I only have 10 weeks before it’s been a whole year.  I’ve got to step up my game!
I’m done writing articles for now and I got articles spun for my girlfriend’s website (others will be completed soon).  Now it’s time for some intensive backlinking!  Personally, I enjoy this more than [...]

Website Building Update – Week 41

June 11th, 2010 by Clayton

I keep steamrolling ahead with these sites.  I’m getting articles spun while I finish up writing the last few sets of original articles.  I finished the additional articles for website #2 bringing it up to 50 content articles.  I’m feeling really optimistic about my keywords and the potential for my websites.  I can’t wait to [...]

Website Building Update – Week 40

June 4th, 2010 by Clayton

Well, it looks like I’ve got just under 3 months to hit my $2500 / month mark by my August 26th deadline.
In May I made $1360.53.  Seeing as how I may be interested in selling some sites down the road, I thought it might be a good idea to start documenting their individual monthly earnings:
Website [...]

Website Building Update – Week 39

May 28th, 2010 by Clayton

My productivity has dipped over the past few weeks.  I’m trying to get back on track, especially if I’m going to hit my $2500 / month goal in 3 months.  This week I’ve been keeping myself productive by logging what I do all day in 15 minute increments.  At first, this was just an experiment [...]

Website Building Update – Week 38

May 21st, 2010 by Clayton

Well, as expected, my “hot streak” is over (for now).  It was nice making $450 in one week, but I sort of knew I couldn’t keep it up without more traffic.  I’ll eventually make $450 weeks the norm, but it will take some time.
This week was pretty cool, though.  I sold this product that costs [...]
