Week 1 Update – Behind, but outsourcing

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 2:16 pm

Hey guys,

So while trying to find time in between hub writing, I decided to begin outsourcing. Currently, I’m paying writers at Cyberhub and TextBroker to start writing these for me ($4-7/article). Additionally, I’m hiring a virtual assistant from Elance to manage these writers for me. At this rate, of $7/article + $80/month for the VA, I should be able to have 100 articles written for $780 bucks a month. Currently, I’m starting slow—I’ve hired out 9 articles, 2 have come back, and they are even better quality than what I would write.

I have two side projects to finish, so I’m working on those today. That puts me behind my goal of 40 hubs by tomorrow (I’ve done 26 so far, 2 more from outsourcers I need to post). I’m not too worried about this, once I have my outsourcers and assistants churning away, I won’t have a problem w/ articles. I imagine I’ll have them do at least 50% of the 72 articles I have left.

Plus, I’ve begun link building also…some ezines, UAW, other stuff. We’ll see what happens.

Money-wise, I’m doing okay…not great. I haven’t had too many clicks recently, since the beginning of this project, I’ve made $2.74. That’s much better than one of my inspirational hubbers, Ben from http://www.makemoneyonlinewithseo.com/ did in his first 7 days… he only had 3 clicks and $1. I think I understand keyword research better than he does, at least from his posts, so hopefully I can catch up w/ him. He is going another route—pushing out tons of low quality articles (400 at the last count). I’m going for low-medium quality, fewer hubs, but better keyword research. My theory is that the niche is more important than anything.

My items have slowlllly been crawling up the google search results, but I have 9 keywords in the top 20 on google—-albeit, non-competitive, non-high-grossing keywords. These are mostly hubs I created before understanding keyword research, and also other, non-main keywords (like, hubs that are ranked for a high-profit keyword are ranking for low-profit related words).

If all goes well, I should have 40 articles done by the end of Wednesday once my outsourcers get back, and I think I’m on track for a profit soon-ish. Link building needs to take place first.

Ok, outro. I’m gonna finish up 1 of these 2 projects today, and maybe even part of the other one.

End of Day 4 – Working like a madman

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — admin @ 12:54 am

I’m probably going to stop updating every day b/c watching these stats everyday means nothing. Today I had the most ever page rank impressions (2x as much as yesterday), and I earned just a tiny bit more money than the day before. I made $0.40! Now, let’s see if it multiplies

I wrote something like 8 articles today, a lot of work got done. It was pretty solid. I only have 14 more to go in the next 3 days, I’ll probably go into the 4th day.

I’m starting to see bumps up in the rankings, so perhaps in the next few days I’ll see my first dollar day? I’m discovering some seriously solid niches, and I’m writing a bunch of ezinearticles and such about a few of them. We’ll see in a week or two’s time if I can make money.

I just hope this isn’t a scam, or something that only a few people can do! Because only 3-4 people I’ve seen online have actually reported that they’ve made tons of money on the hub page challenge—most report nothing! I think it’s just hard work that goes into it!

I wrote a little bit about how to find barn door hardware and a little on Finding nail courses and nail technician courses. I hope that these niches and some other ones that I am adding will be enough to get big!

Day 3 – How I finally understood the game

Filed under: Hubpage Challenge, Learning, Uncategorized — admin @ 10:15 am

Yesterday I spent a huge amount of time doing serious research, and I finally figured out how to calculate the efficacy of potential keywords and keyword markets. If people are interested, later on I’ll teach how to build these keywords. I made a few interesting hubs, like this one that hopefully people like. I think I understand content and writing much better now. I only made 4 cents from 0 clicks, but after reading up on several other people’s experiences, I realized I haven’t been marketing or writing good enough content or have not been sure, ABSOLUTELY sure about my market. Now I am.

Anyways, I didn’t have many clicks on ads, but I had tons more impressions! These impressions came from my Digital Kitchen Scale – Reviews Of The Top 4 For Your Kitchen hub, but almost all from other hubbers, so we will see if that translates to any more revenue.
