30 Days To Awesome

Good morning sportsracers,

As of today, I’m beginning my official first 30 day challenge. I am beginning a 30 day Hubpage experiment—similar to what what done on The Keyword Academy.

Here is what happens: I make 100 hubpages based on keyword research—I only target keywords that people are searching for on google but cannot find good results. Using link building techniques, I try to create pages that can hit #1 on google, raking in adsense revenue at the same time.

Here is the results of their first experiment. In one week, they created 40 hubs and earned $56.20. I got a head start and already created nine hubs to get an idea for how this challenge will work. When I started, I had no idea how to produce good, quality content—now I understand a lot more. I also thought it was easy money when I started, but after research—well, it won’t be as easy as I thought.

Here are the goals for my challenge.

Hubpage 30 Day Challenge (July/2009)

Goal (Priority 1) – Create 100 Hubs in 30 days

This is the major goal—the MIT (most important task) that MUST be completed within 30 days. Obviously, this is the smallest part of my experiment, but it is the most important part—the certainly achievable, absolutely measurable goal.

This is my priority 1 goal for a few reasons:

1. It matches the S.M.A.R.T. criteria for goals – This goal is certainly Specific (exactly 100 hubs), Measurable (I can keep track of how many written), Attainable (just 3/day, plus I’ll be outsourcing), Realistic (3/day!), and Timely (in 30 days!).
2. It is my first goal, and it is based on work I do, not factors outside of my control (like my earnings goals).

Goal (Priority 2) – Make $350 from Adsense

According to The Keyword Academy final results, they earned $475.26. I don’t know if I can hit that number, because Court from TKA had 5 years of previous experience—so I’m setting a reach goal.

My Plan:

Here is my plan for the experiment

1. 40 hubs by 6/July ($25 dollars)
2. 70 hubs by 13/July ($75 dollars)
3. 100 hubs by 20/July ($150)
4. 31/July ($350)

I already have nine hubs. Thus, I need 31 hubs in 7 days to meet my 1st goal. That is about 5 per day. I have a couple other projects to finish, so I will do just three today, getting me to 12.

Okay, enough talking. Let’s get it on!
