30 Day Challenge - 50 Bucks Per Day By End Of March

How about a challenge?

Maybe you have seen on other websites a “30 day challenge”. These are quite popular and I did one a long time ago for Bum Marketing.

The objective of this challenge is to make an average of 50 bucks per day by the end of March.

I actually set this objective initially for myself but I would love for you guys to join me too.

Please feel free to leave comments here of how you plan to make this 50 per month and your progress.

Here are my plans:

Drive traffic like crazy by posting articles on Ezinearticles. Do this during the week (Monday to Friday I have a day job so this is evening work) to the tune of ten articles per day. I am driving traffic to a number of different sites which I will develop mainly at the weekend.

These sites are and will be:

  • a number of squeeze pages (these are already set up and I have about 400 leads total already but I’ll reset the counter to zero from today - for my own reference the current “zero” level is 475).
  • review sites for the squeeze page niches. I haven’t made that many sales from my mailing lists so far. This is probably because although I have 400-odd leads, I’ve only started pushing products recently in the mail campaigns so not many people have seen these pitches yet. So that kinda makes sense and 400 leads is not really that many when you think about how many have seen the pitches and the conversion ratios. With a review site in my signature, I figure I can boost my sales with this extremely soft sell. I need to build these but I’m using the review script from here: Ross Dalangin’s Review Script WSO
  • poker portal website with articles and the all important poker site reviews and bonus codes. With my recent success with a poker campaign I started over three years ago (!) I really am attracted to the lifetime recurring commissions that this niche offers. It’s like running a membership site but with zero obligation after they sign up!
  • casino portal website. Like poker but slightly different genre.
  • other niche site based on real world deliverables (not ebooks). Good example is products from Moreniche. Undecided whether to do a broad niche or a specific sub-niche, a portal or a static sales page type site.

The key to all the above is driving the traffic. I feel this is really important and you cannot get higher quality instant targeted and converting traffic better than from posting on Ezinearticles.

So what do you think of my strategy? I would love to hear from you and hope you can join the challenge!

    You should try and recruit a few people at the Warrior Forum as this could be interesting. I’m looking forward to reading about your results. Will play along and try to add an extra $50 per day to my own income as well.

    Hey Chris,

    Best of luck with the challenge!

    As a suggestion, why not submit your articles to more directories than just EzineArticles?

    Also, do you have plans in place to automate the whole process so its reoccurring?

    Wishing you much abundance,
    Gary

    Hey guys,

    I will post an update shortly.

    I have considered posting to more directories but is it worth it? What do you think is the optimum no. of directories?

    As for automation and outsourcing, sadly not yet. Well, sorta. In my experience, article marketing traffic quickly drops off, within a couple of days to about 10% or less of it’s peak.

    However, I am also planning to use other methods of driving traffic which I will share shortly…..
