At least you're learning these lessons through your own experience instead of continuing to believe what blogs are feeding you.

You're right, you're not going to find keywords with high search volume and low competition. All of those niches are going to have SOME competition. This means that ranking (and making money online) is actually a grind and not super easy. You have to work for it.

My best advice would be to stop wasting so much time on keyword research and just choose a niche that you enjoy working in and has low to moderate competition. From there, you just need to start chipping away at it and learn how to make money in that niche.

Hard work is the only way.

What in your opinion is a niche considered "Moderate competition"? Is trying to rank for the keyword "mind tricks" moderate or high competition?
​
In my opinion it would be considered high because you have buzzfeed ranking on top. The page which were created by those authoritative domains are actually targeting this keyword. Gyazo - 2be318c8246c501c9db26550caced443.png

I feel all those "mind tricks", "illusion" type keywords are dominated by bloody buzzfeed because

  • The assholes got bunch of writers to do the job
  • Tons of writers to pump out loads and loads of content which Google just ranks them for
I don't think there is any way to rank for such keywords. But then I see bullshit on Flippa. Like this domain smashinglist[dot]com The type of content it has would also be churn out by Buzzfeed. Yet according to the seller, it's was getting mass organic traffic and was sold for $xx,xxx figures. Confusing.

Another thing I noticed about website listed on Flippa which were sold over 1000 dollars was they had loads and loads of content. All this content were just so generic. Like shit you can find in every other blog. They were just regular wordpress blogs with loads of content. They weren't even targeting a single niche but an entire broad niche. Like "muscle fitness". Don't know how do they decide they can compete against Bodybuilding.com. Tell me how is this site even unique "http://www.malefitness.net/" It's generic as hell. Yet the guy is pumping more and more content in it. Surprising his main keyword "male fitness" just has 390 search volume in the USA.

Then there was another beast, dekhain[dot]com. The unique thing about this site was it automatically generated 'content' or pages whenever a search query is done on the site. Funny thing, the claimed to be having shitton of traffic 1.2 million page views in a month and was generating 600 bucks/month. All the traffic came from tier 3-4 countries.

a niche that you enjoy working in and has low to moderate competition

The niche I would like to talk about would be quite local to my country. I was planning to this as a 'side' project' which many people do. Something really personal to them with no real intention of monetizing. You know, just building a rep. Also the niche would so so freaking broad and won't rank any where on the SERP because you would have androidcentral, androidpolice top dogs who have writers working around the clock for them. Basically the niche I would/plan on writing would be

  • Local Startup news
  • Community problems in the country
  • Spitting out bullshit on country politics etc
  • Android tip/tricks. Mostly personal as I use the device
  • Linux - Personal experience and such
Funny thing is I'm tempted to say "easy to rank, not much demand, low ad sense revenue because tier 3-4 country traffic" Yet there are popular blogs which literally have writers on their payroll. There blogs much be generating enough revenue to support them. Namely techjuice[dot]pk and propakistani[dot]pk. I really want to create a blog which compete with them.

Like crying out loud, I have the knowledge of WF, BHW to back me up! I got Senukex, Scrapebox, GSA[trial version :thefinger:] LTP, LiNKAssistant, bots for instagram/pinterest [haven't tested yet], massive blogspam list. I can easily obliterate them in local niches. Also I'm sure I can dominate moderate...
Like with absolute decent on-site done with help from white/black hat softwares and intuition as site made for user not Foogle, off-site SEO it be from huge backlink diversity [pdf, slideshare + web 2.0 from every single web 2.0 property there is. One accout on each.. manually made + High PR backlinks + dofollow/nofollow decent ratio, low pr backlinks, spam backlinks + Foogle Publisher and other foogle b.s like structured data etc. EVERYTHING COMBINED IN A FREAKING COCKTAIL a... What kind of potential are we talking about? What kind of competition such site can rank in? I honestly want to know because this is my plan to rank a site in for the SERP. I wanna kill it! :cool-smiley-008:
​
So my focus isn't with them right now, it's CPA. Going to spend few more days in this keyword before I fuck it and just continue with what I have,

  • 2 Amazon keywords
  • 1 CPA keyword
I just remembered, I still have to do keyword research on clickbank product. But that will be a lot easier because I have some pointers to start with, the niche of the product itself. One is regarding green energy for homes and can't remember the other.

I'm ready to grind.
 


Wanted to make an update before the clock hit midnight and the new week begins. i have the list of main keyword.


  • 2x for Amazon
  • 3x for CPA
  • 2x for Clickbank
Going to hold the lead generation part for now. My top priority is to get the long tail done for each of the main and atleast roll out 4 HQ/Unique hand written articles. All will be done myself.


With the new Google Shopping update, I hope they don't wreck my Amazon affiliate plan.



Need to figure out how to get the spam backlinks made. I hope my 'partner' would lend me his GSA to spam bomb these sites.



Going to be focusing to rank parasites as ranking websites going to take forever. 3 months just for them to be recognized for ranking by Foogle. Could go for the expired domain approach but it requires quite a decent amount time input for each main keyword. Let alone the time required for scraping. Might look into it but after, only after I finish up the longtail done.



Target to finish it by tomorrow. :eek:


Haven't read much motivational journey yet. Only thing positive I did read was when I was going through Foogle Webmaster Guideline. Did learn a few nuts and bolts nothing new but gives a bit more confidence after things are mentioned by Foogle themselves. The positive part was the whole thing when people say 'SEO' is dying ain't true. Foogle openly recommend hiring SEO consultants themselves and also provide SEO guides.



Although they do want everyone to use PPC but fuck it :anon.sml:. SEO is here to stay.
 
Been a late reply because been semi busy. Busy in a good sense as I've been trying to grind but haven't done the real grind. Like non stop work. Kinda regretting it but sometimes, not sure why I haven't done it. Actually I would know if I go through the daily logs I wrote and calendar I keep updating to keep track to see what the fuck was happening. Honestly, all my notes is a mess. Some are online and some are on my notebook and some on calendar I printed out. I should fix this and stick with one location for easy recall.
​

Anyway, Glancing over the calendar, after the end of the last update, I managed to wrap up the keyword research. Few days later I started grouping the large list of keyword. The actual part of keyword and grouping was daunting. I delayed it but I finished it. Man, now I think of it, I could have easily done it in two days but fuck. So the end of May and first 10 days of June, there was absolute massive home wreck with repaint going on along with recarpeting. After the last update. Coudln't get anything done even when I tried. Later I had to do some offline tasks.
Decided to ignore Clickbank products and stick CPA and Amazon. The reason why I chose to ignore it was their concept of "protecting their payment processor'. Like what the people said, they kept on reminding consumer who bought Clickbank product they can refund. Zzz. Yeah it's good for the consumer but bad for me who would be putting time and effort into this. Only thing I've decided to attempt was find a affiliate product, create on Youtube and blast fake views. Not expecting much but let see where it goes. Hopefully might earn enough to pay for VPS which I desperately need for racking up social signal, traffic exchange points and crawling for expired domains. I need those points to rank parasite. But whatever


What I really hope to do before the end of June is atleast create some content for the keywords I have harvested and grouped. It’s now just to build content for it. Managed to partially sort the hosting problem and all the premium themes I would use neatly organized.



Started a new thing which I would want to keep it as a ‘side’ income. Like a work which would eventually lead to me to own a ‘studio’ involved in digital marketing. “Recruited” bunch of local guys who try to make a living online. One thing about my country is people work hard even if they get paid shit. Going to use them to write content for people on Fiverr and other related sites. The funny thing is that even this I delayed. Forgot to mention how talented the writers were. Like these people have passion in English literature like we do in IMing. Will be interesting. What I have to do right now is make a full blown accounts on those sites and get those review exchange/order exchange thing going for ranking boost. This should be interesting and I really hope it works out and isn’t a major pain in the ass. So by end of June, hopefully I will have all the writers sorted out and all accounts made. There are like 10 days so is doable.


Oh yea, is the month of Ramadan which is killing my productivity. Trying to grind but it’s damn difficult with empty stomach for 17 hours a day. But whatever, like I have choice. Need to fucking grind. Spend like 3 days trying to come up with a creative name for the agency but failed to do so. Decided to forget it and go with the domain I bought from expired domain. It’s old and probably spammed even though doesn’t have any stats regarding spam on ahref but Moz does give spam score of 7. Thinking to subscribe for MozPro to see which link they are referring for spam.
Going to end it right here. Going to update end of June to see if I make progress toward my milestones



  1. Content written for the sites
  2. Article studio recruitment and get some orders going


I guess just two. :2twocents:



Building a photography site for sister to rank locally. Going to go with total white hat, traffic leak method with this. Going to buy fresh domain. Hate buying fresh domain because of the 3 month grace period. It’s damn annoying. The grace period makes me want to kill more time in finding expired domain. It’s a never ending loop.
 
You realize that you've been at this thread since the end of March and you don't even have content up on a site yet, right?

Two days ago, OP posted in this thread: http://www.wickedfire.com/newbie-questions/183761-skype-not-so-mastermind-group.html#post2252286, about a skype chat being dead. But what he didn't take into consideration is he joined the skype chat about 2 mins before posting that post (according to the skype chat's logs) AND it was 4am EST on Saturday when he was looking for activity and stated it was a ghost town... So clearly he's got time on his hands but he's not using that time to further his business, instead waiting to learn some super internet secrets on skype at 4am on a Saturday...

OP, this is your wake up call - your making excuses about Ramadan, painting houses, and doing nonsense that doesn't add money to your pockets while letting other people's desires blow you around like a leaf in the wind here and there - and not focusing on your business like you should be.

Maybe you are broke cause you spend so much time with family, friends, and entertaining people instead of focusing on making money? How long have you been on this earth? How many more days, months, and years are you going to waste entertaining other people and while making excuses that they are the reason you are broke.

Here is how you stop being broke in these scenarios "Oh shit there is a wedding that I should attend" The question is - Should I stay broke or go to the wedding? Will they still get married if I don't go? If yes - make money.

Should I sit around playing with computer games with kids or make money?

Should I keep entertaining people at my house or make money?

Should I visit skype chats at 4am on a Saturday or make money?

You waste more time planning and creating checklists of more planning then actually doing work...

fTiCd7Y.gif


These journals all end up the same and reveal the real problems of the individual - procrastination or just a lack of a spine or willpower to tell people NO - or to tell them to fuck off you are busy and not trying to be broke for the rest of your life.

At some point you have to take life into your own hands and stop making excuses - you want to be a businessman - doing big business, look at the life of all those "businessmen" you look up to, do they LET someone else take up their time and stop them from making money or doing business? No. So if you do let people do that to you - then there is no possible way you can actually ever get to their level.

Time is the one finite resource we have on this earth - a day lost is a day of revenue lost as well as a day of potentially creating new revenue streams for the future. So today you could have created a revenue stream that generates you $100 a day for the next 3 months - but you put that off cause of what excuse?

The reality is you don't want it bad enough. If you aren't in jail and are sitting around broke then you only have yourself to blame. You are in the situation you are in cause that's the situation that you are comfortable being in. If you had a pebble in your shoe - it would make you uncomfortable to walk, so after a couple of steps you would STOP, then take off your shoe and get rid of the pebble - NO MATTER WHAT is happening - everything else can wait until you get rid of that rock in your shoe that's causing you pain/ - when the pebble is gone you are now comfortable. That's your life - since you are comfortable being broke and letting other people waste your time - there is nothing to "STOP". If you were uncomfortable being broke you would put everything else on hold until you were no longer broke...

Feeling kinda embarrassing to post this as I really haven't made anything substantial i.e BIG ASS SITE ONINE AND RANK NUMERO #1 but I'm on track. I don't have much to show in this update but I'm not giving up. Wasted time on something which I shouldn't have. Will appreciate if the elite members don't reply on this thread just yet just like tim2963. Makes me feel like I'm 15 year old trying to get started in IMing for 'fun' and has motivational/self discipline issues. Yes I do have it but I'm working on it. I have plenty of goodies bookmarked.. I ain't trying to do IMing for fun, I'm doing to makea living out of it. Not by spamming but contributing something into the interweb.



For example, I wasted a lot of time trying to get GZIP working on my VPS for a theme I planned to use. In the end, it turned out my VPS had issues. Then it took some days more to get shared hosting set up. After it was done, I registered domains and started trying which themes to use and began to feel Bootstrap was the way to go. I realized I didn't know much about how to do Bootstrap programming and I was impressed by it does and it's purpose.


Told myself I will hault Iming and rush through Bootstrap course on Edx. But due to clusterfuck month of family members visiting from abroad, national holidays, it got dragged for a long fucking time. But all of it is done, like 2 days back. When I think about it, it should have taken me only few days but it got dragged. Lesson learnt: stick with it and just it done. I tried putting it for next day but good thing was I kept reminding myself that “i'm procrastinating”. And eventually I got done, like major of it was done within 3 days of non stop and with the mentality of “just finish it already”. Then came the VPS issue, then came the theme issue. But all of it is done. TV shows also started leeching my time, maybe a 4 days was sucked into it. I'm regretting I even watched it. But it was like watching entire seasons non stop but did drain energy. Decided to ignore all TV shows and everything.


But the damn urge of need for 'entertainment' does rise up'. Going to fight it though by distracting myself into WHAT'S IMPORTANT. That is to make money. All I can the month of July was spent on recovering and troubleshooting. It also made me realize I should not be trying to save a few bucks here and there because time and energy really matters. It's actually the energy, not time. When you pay someone to do something for you, you aren't buying 'time' for yourself to do something but you are saving your energy to do something else. I decided to abandon the whole concept being frugal and shit online. I'm going to risk the little money I have. Managed to secure 300 bucks for my 'investment' portfolio, and managed to build something I always wanted. Build a good looking gig, outsourcing it's task. Yes, I'm managing to outsource 5 dollar task and profiting 3 bucks from it. Not too shabby. Basically trying to take her headon
Code: 
https://www.fiverr.com/natashanixon/write-a-400-word-article
. Took her some like 5 or 6 year to reach that stage, I'm more ambitious, I'm gonna hit her stats within 4 months.


Now when I think of it, I did get shit down this month. Not as much but I did get somewhere and did do something. My completely outsource Fiverr gig makes enough cash to afford a decent VPS lol. Literally no work involved so I'm ok with. But as stated as my primary source of income in the original post, affiliate sites. During the past days, I got some confident in ranking in difficult niches too which I think I might be diving in. But nothing like weightloss niche.


I am getting somewhere. Not as efficiently as I want to go but I'm getting there. Started being active on Skype chat room too which is also really nice. A major source of motivation to be honest. Best place to get reminded, there is 'hope'. Going to do a lead generation gig on it. Ambitious members.


By end of this month, like in two days. I will have the following set up.

  1. Photography site landing page [will not be a any source of incoming right now. Mostly set and forget as I want to let it mature, done for a family member]
  2. 1xCPA site landing page fully built. Decided to focus on getting a brand name instead of individual sites. I figured when working with a friend, sitelinks is where the cash is in. To get those, brand name is required. But when I come to think of it, getting 'sitelinks' for a “clash of horseshit” is not possible. But whatever, I'm going for brand name.
  3. Have an entire back linking strategy set up which will be done manually. Yes I will not be using GSA SER for spam backlinks tier 2 because I don't have the tool yet. I will do manually.
  4. Initial stages of Local Lead Generation JV ← might become the bread winner


If all the shit ranks, I'll be fucking rich.


P.S. Trying to preview the post but it ain't workin. Saying 'Access Denied' going to hit submit.
 
Hey man, do you still only have a few hundred dollars to do this with? If so it isn't enough. Just go get a job, anywhere and save it until you have a few thousand.

What is this photography site bs? Forget it.

You talk about getting a brand name, branding is expensive. You talk about wanting sitelinks? You don't need a brand to get sitelinks you need an authority site in your niche, which costs a lot of money if you don't possess the skills yourself.

I'm not even sure what you mean by the "Initial stages of local lead generation".

You have so much going on here dude. Just pick one thing and follow through, fail or not, just follow it through.

As for Natasha Nixon, they are a well known content company and there are so many solid content companies already. You need to find something new that people need. Word Agents is already known as the go to content company here, you would be hard pressed to have people leave them or Natasha Nixon for you.

Why don't you list your skills, how much your total budget is, what country you live in, and what you already have done so we can actually help you.
 
All I read was he spent most of July binge watching TV shows and partying with family members and friends and doing nothing on holidays. How can "National Holidays" slow you down? Wouldn't you have MORE free time to work on your project? You are letting excuses and other people's wants and needs of you waste YOUR time.​

Nah you won't. The reason being is you are working on too many things and too many projects. Why are you taking on a photography website, that shit doesn't make sense, and for family - meaning you aren't getting paid? More examples of other people wasting your time, or rather you ALLOWING other people to waste YOUR time.

Concentrate on one thing, that's it. Everything else is a distraction.​

Piggy backing but elaborating off of his first sentence I'll try and put this in perspective for you.

Most people who work a 9-5 or work for somebody can't wait for the weekend to come around and for evenings to come around. Why? Because they hate what they do and it is just a job. Just speaking for myself, but I'm sure many others will agree, I love business and what I do, because of that I dread the weekends and I dread 5:01pm, leads stop coming in, contractors don't want to work, blah blah blah. We just want to hustle and bank money and have fun doing it. Don't make this sound like such a fucking job man. Entertainment this, family that, holidays this. I hate holidays! Fucking hate them, why because it is like a weekend on steroids. Love what you do because if you don't you are just going to compete with people who are not only better at this then you are but they have passion for it as well. You cant compete with that with your attitude.

Set one goal and do it. Good luck man.
 
Boom August gone.

I would be lying if I said “I wasn’t putting this off to tomorrow” but I’m not. I feel anxiety when updating this thread because it makes me feel very much responsible and makes me feel disappointed about myself. Going through the last post I made, I wasn’t able to achieve much of it. Only managed to get on thing done. The other one is not exactly ‘haven’t done anything’ but I’m on it.

Right now I’m suffering from the issue of ‘wanting to do many things’. The priority should be ‘focus’ and say ‘no’ to other things but it’s just so damn hard. When I think about it like at the time of reading “yeah why don’t you idiot just do CPA and focus on it only” I just can’t do it. It’s not like I don’t to do it but I WANT OTHER THINGS TO BE DONE TOO. For the past few days, whenever I try to do something related to IMing but not CPA, I remind myself “money should be focus”, “make money, nothing else”. It’s a struggle but I’m doing it.

Only if it was so easy to focus on one thing and put all energy on it. The other things aren’t like watching shows or anything but it does technically help me in achieving the end goal of making money. But I think it won’t be as fast as CPA.

I would be lying if I said “I worked non stop 12 hours a day”. I timed myself and it’s doesn’t look good. Fuck. One thing I could say ‘progress’ is that I’m trimming down the ‘fat’ and getting on what’s important. I wasn’t truely not working but I did good chunk of work to say with confidence “if the site is up and fully mate, I have the strategy to rank it”. This ‘back linking’ strategy took fair amount of time. It was literally piggy backing off other peoples sale thread on link building on BHW and figuring out if I can do it myself. I’m sure I will be able to do with with the tools I have.

I’m not sure if I mentioned this before, I’m working with a friend too who is exactly in the same boat as me. We both want to make a living off IMing. I know most players who do this are solo players but I couldn’t be this far without him and he couldn’t be without me. Why do I mention here? Well the time I was building strategy for the real backlinking game, he was trying to ‘test’ creating site. Long story cut short, we have a decent domain which I will be using for CPA. Major advantage is that it’s already indexed and ‘semi’ ranking.

Took me a while to figure out the silo structure thingy which I will be implementing on the website for CPA.

Basically the plan now is build a silo type website with primary focus on on-site SEO. Get as many on site seo score I can possible achieve. Got plenty of resource of it all read with checklist. I won't have to waste time in researching. Then linkbuilding according to the strategy. Honestly, if this doesn’t make the CPA page rank, I don’t know what the hell will. It HAS to. I think everyone is doing it so it must be. My friend did manage to rank another domain with absolute no on-site SEO yet hit page 1 and ranking 3rd on the SERP. Never managed to hit #1. Which means, on-site SEO is pretty damn important.

Don't know what new to include but same as usual, "going to work this time". But this time will be different, I'm beginning to focus on what matters. I'm been trying to take some shortcuts when I kept reminding myself "just do it yourself". And I WILL THIS TIME. Going to do everything else.

The focus now is my sites and ONLY.

I'm starting to realize how difficult it is to make money. Before I just knew "yeah making money is hard" but now I'm feeling it. It's damn hard. But I think, if I get the first income rolling, everything will make much more sense. Maybe.

Oh yeah, to make thing worse, WF is shutting down. But I won't make this an excuse. i did have access to the forum before and read good chunk of it [thank god] but it makes me feel 'time is running out'. Everything is shutting down, forum, Google Keyword API, Facebook got more restricted with graph shutting down. I could be feeling this maybe because I started following things and these things always happened in the past? But the entry level barrier is getting tighter and tighter. It's time to act now before it's too late.

But I'm expecting September going to be a good time. I know it this time because this month, I got my feet wet and I know the reality now. It's ugly if I don't change it.

I know exactly what to do this time. Money over morale, money over ethics, hustle to bank. Everything is organized and sorted.

I primarily built the photo site to get some experience. Best way to learn it by doing it which I did. I had been overcomplicated the CPA and Amazon and backlinking so I said fuck it, I'll just MAKE a site for which I don't need about backlinking. What it taught me is this :-

  1. How to use Gensis framework
  2. It's possible to make a killer landing page very easily
  3. Setting up a site from 'scratch'
  4. Given a bit taste of backlinking
  5. Tested how effective traffic leak is, it's damn effective
It was also done to clear the myth going on the interweb of "fresh domain takes 2 months to get indexed by Foogle". It's damn b.s I had the site up and while building it, Foogle managed to crawl it. Crazy. I might have a backlink made somewhere but don't know. It got indexed.

It's going to be my testbed to see if I can rank anything locally in my country which I think it's 'easy' and it should be because the top site don't even use any form of 'SEO' or aggressive 'SEO' which these forum teach.

Thinking of it, it's actually just a test bed. I don't have to do anything now.

Only if what that quote and CCarther wrote pops up on my desktop every now and then. Would be the motivation when I'm feeling "WHAT THE FUCK SHOULD I DO!" I think I might make a typography wallpaper and put it as background. Damn.

Which means, on-site SEO is pretty damn important.

Don't know what new to include but same as usual, "going to work this time". But this time will be different, I'm beginning to focus on what matters. I'm been trying to take some shortcuts when I kept reminding myself "just do it yourself". And I WILL THIS TIME. Going to do everything else.

The focus now is my sites and ONLY.

I'm starting to realize how difficult it is to make money. Before I just knew "yeah making money is hard" but now I'm feeling it. It's damn hard. But I think, if I get the first income rolling, everything will make much more sense. Maybe.

Oh yeah, to make thing worse, WF is shutting down. But I won't make this an excuse. i did have access to the forum before and read good chunk of it [thank god] but it makes me feel 'time is running out'. Everything is shutting down, forum, Google Keyword API, Facebook got more restricted with graph shutting down. I could be feeling this maybe because I started following things and these things always happened in the past? But the entry level barrier is getting tighter and tighter. It's time to act now before it's too late.

But I'm expecting September going to be a good time. I know it this time because this month, I got my feet wet and I know the reality now. It's ugly if I don't change it.

I know exactly what to do this time. Money over morale, money over ethics, hustle to bank. Everything is organized and sorted.



I primarily built the photo site to get some experience. Best way to learn it by doing it which I did. I had been overcomplicated the CPA and Amazon and backlinking so I said fuck it, I'll just MAKE a site for which I don't need about backlinking. What it taught me is this :-

  1. How to use Gensis framework
  2. It's possible to make a killer landing page very easily
  3. Setting up a site from 'scratch'
  4. Given a bit taste of backlinking
  5. Tested how effective traffic leak is, it's damn effective
It was also done to clear the myth going on the interweb of "fresh domain takes 2 months to get indexed by Foogle". It's damn b.s I had the site up and while building it, Foogle managed to crawl it. Crazy. I might have a backlink made somewhere but don't know. It got indexed.

It's going to be my testbed to see if I can rank anything locally in my country which I think it's 'easy' and it should be because the top site don't even use any form of 'SEO' or aggressive 'SEO' which these forum teach.

Thinking of it, it's actually just a test bed. I don't have to do anything now.




Only if what that quote and CCarther wrote pops up on my desktop every now and then. Would be the motivation when I'm feeling "WHAT THE FUCK SHOULD I DO!" I think I might make a typography wallpaper and put it as background. Damn.

You could have made $20 in the same 30+ minutes it took you to write this absolutely useless post that did nothing to further you towards your goal.
 
Focus on your goals and where you want to be in 6 months or a year and never stop dreaming, don't let bad feedback get in your way, use them as a weapon to overcome all the doors that you see are not open for you to move on.

I did fail :D, sort of...




Unfortunately, I did not achieve success in the internet biz space.


I went back to school, moved abroad and work in tech.


I'm 33 now. Only if I knew at that time I had ADHD, I would've not been so hard on myself. Things did work out for the better, financially and life wise better.


I do have things in the backlog that I want to do, I will need to figure out what to prioritize first.

I would be lying if I said “I wasn’t putting this off to tomorrow” but I’m not. I feel anxiety when updating this thread because it makes me feel very much responsible and makes me feel disappointed about myself. Going through the last post I made, I wasn’t able to achieve much of it. Only managed to get on thing done. The other one is not exactly ‘haven’t done anything’ but I’m on it.

Right now I’m suffering from the issue of ‘wanting to do many things’. The priority should be ‘focus’ and say ‘no’ to other things but it’s just so damn hard. When I think about it like at the time of reading “yeah why don’t you idiot just do CPA and focus on it only” I just can’t do it. It’s not like I don’t to do it but I WANT OTHER THINGS TO BE DONE TOO. For the past few days, whenever I try to do something related to IMing but not CPA, I remind myself “money should be focus”, “make money, nothing else”. It’s a struggle but I’m doing it.

Only if it was so easy to focus on one thing and put all energy on it. The other things aren’t like watching shows or anything but it does technically help me in achieving the end goal of making money. But I think it won’t be as fast as CPA.

I would be lying if I said “I worked non stop 12 hours a day”. I timed myself and it’s doesn’t look good. Fuck. One thing I could say ‘progress’ is that I’m trimming down the ‘fat’ and getting on what’s important. I wasn’t truely not working but I did good chunk of work to say with confidence “if the site is up and fully mate, I have the strategy to rank it”. This ‘back linking’ strategy took fair amount of time. It was literally piggy backing off other peoples sale thread on link building on BHW and figuring out if I can do it myself. I’m sure I will be able to do with with the tools I have.

I’m not sure if I mentioned this before, I’m working with a friend too who is exactly in the same boat as me. We both want to make a living off IMing. I know most players who do this are solo players but I couldn’t be this far without him and he couldn’t be without me. Why do I mention here? Well the time I was building strategy for the real backlinking game, he was trying to ‘test’ creating site. Long story cut short, we have a decent domain which I will be using for CPA. Major advantage is that it’s already indexed and ‘semi’ ranking.

Took me a while to figure out the silo structure thingy which I will be implementing on the website for CPA.

Basically the plan now is build a silo type website with primary focus on on-site SEO. Get as many on site seo score I can possible achieve. Got plenty of resource of it all read with checklist. I won't have to waste time in researching. Then linkbuilding according to the strategy. Honestly, if this doesn’t make the CPA page rank, I don’t know what the hell will. It HAS to. I think everyone is doing it so it must be. My friend did manage to rank another domain with absolute no on-site SEO yet hit page 1 and ranking 3rd on the SERP. Never managed to hit #1.

it’s okay not to be perfect and not to get everything done at once. Progress is still progress, no matter the pace. Keep focusing on what you can do today to move closer to your goals, and be kind to yourself in the process.
