Chris’ Journey to Online Success with Free Methods

Wow, not as productive as I wanted to be – I only got to submit 15 articles today.  That means that I have about 28 total articles pending for Monday.  I guess it’s something to look forward too, but still

I wanted to have a great production.  Oh well – I guess i’ll give the editor some room to breathe.  Tommorow I will achieve my goal of 40 articles.

I have this big school project that’s due tomorrow and since the library closes in about 2 hours I have to shut it down early; otherwise i would’ve gotten to about 35-40 articles today.

Traffic Update:

Traffic Picked up a Little bit – even though some of my niches are dead – but at the same time they don’t have too many articles written for the either

• Niche A: 11 Visitors
• Niche B: 21 Visitors
• Niche C: 1 Visitor
• Niche D: 0 Visitors
• Niche E: 0 Visitors
• Niche F: 2 Visitors
• Niche G: 6 Visitors

These are still the beginning numbers – I definitely expect these numbers to pick up in due time; especially because I’m trying to average 5 articles a day per niche for 20 days.  This way, I’ll have 100 visitors per landing page and per niche.

Sales Update:

Yeah, No sales again today; but oh well – I still consider myself in the beginning of my campaign.  The traffic’s already starting to trickle in and I have tons of articles waiting to be accepted since Friday.  So…Yeah…

 - Well atleast my hoplink clicks are consistent with my production.  I haven’t increased or decreased in articles – therefore my hoplink clicks are going to be the same.

What I Got Done Today:

• I wrote exactly 15 articles and submitted them; so I should see a traffic spike soon, and I should start seeing consistent sales in about 4 days.  That’s if I stay towards my targeted production goals – I was crappy with production today

What I Have to do 2morrow:

• I have to write about 25 more articles 2morrow
• Write a New landing page
• Come up with 40 more article subjects with the new Niche

After every 40 articles – I create a new landing page and add that to my plethora of niches that I already have.  Once I get the feeling one of these niches aren’t converting – I’ll instantly drop it and move on to the next:

I currently have 3 niches that I know for sure are going to convert – so I’m definitely writing my most articles for those.

What I Learned Today:

 I read this story of this guy who wrote about 2000 articles and is making about $6,000 a month from them.  My thought was like  – that’s not bad; but he could be making more!   I looked at his articles – and they were all on the same niche with no keyword targets!

He gave me excellent advice though – He said if you set really high mental goals; you’ll come up with a plan to achieve that overtime.  So, I’m going to keep my goals extremely high, so even if I fall short of them – I’m still making 6,000 a month, which is more than enough for what I need as a 20 year old college student.

I’m taking a break for now, until I start again.  Right Now I have about 10 articles done.  This may not sound like much, but I have all the other articles laid out so I’ll be able to do them much quicker.  I think I’ll get my goal of 40 articles today If I work hard enough!

Traffic seems to have picked up for specific niches, so that’s good. 

I just read a story of this guy who’s still recieiving traffic from his articles that he wrote in 1998! that’s a decade ago! 

My gosh; if people only knew how awesome article marketing was.  I really call internet marketing the 2008  gold rush of 1849 that nobody’s talking about – I really do mean that.

This thing gets pretty easy once you get started.  I can probably article market like this for a long, long time! 

P.S: My articles are averaging about 2 visitors per day each. So I should be bringing in ridiculous amounts of cash.  I’m not going to start my homework, or eat dinner until i finish this work – it will force me to work hard .

Ever head that song by coldplay called twisted logic?  You should listen to it – because it would definitely fit my situation with Article Marketing.

Traffic Stats Update:

I’m kinda late on the update – we won’t let that happen again!  I had to do alot of schoolwork so i wasn’t able to update the way I wanted to.

Anyways, this is how it went down yesterday…

• Niche A – 7 uniques
• Niche B – 17 uniques
• Niche C – 0 uniques
• Niche D –0 uniques
• Niche E – 1 Visitor
• Niche F – 2 Visitors
• Niche G – 4 Visitors

Looks like I saw the infamous – “traffic spike” then back down to reality.  My niche with the most steady views is the one with the most articles.  Niche B; so if I can get all my articles to see this production, I should be seeing consistent traffic from all my niches in about 3 days or less.

Sales Updates:

No sales today but, I’m still managing to get tons of hoplink clicks.  So that’s pretty encouraging.  I just have to keep working and I’ll recieve more hoplink clicks!

What I got Done Today – I think I submitted about 4 articles yesterday before I had to do other things.  I have a grant total of about 13 articles pending right now; so you should see a spike of traffic in the next few days.

What I Have to Do 2morrow:

• Write 5 articles per niche for 8 different niches – [40 articles total]
• Come up with 40 more subjects for Monday

What I Learned Today: I’m going to  have to work consistently and hard to see consistent sales.  I just have to be patient and keep working.  I know what I have to do – and I know the money will come if I keep doing what I’m doing. 

I just have to have that robotic type work ethic.  I always keep in my head “i am a machine”, and therefore I work like one.

Alot of people do not make it due to pure skepticism. So If I keep all doubts out of my head, I should be fine – plus; the system has already converted for me!

I’m just going to keep driving.
