Ask Me Anything Can I earn $2,400 per month by Christmas?

@Question to Honeybadger. So you made brand new websites, with new domains. Generated unique content and indexed website to search console. And you got traffic through google immediately?
--> Immediately no
First you create your site
then you submit it to Google
then you get crawled
then you get indexed
then your content gets served
then you get search impressions
then you get search clicks --> traffic
and it can days or weeks to see a visit from search
I have never known it to happen immediately
for anyone
ever

Did you add backlinks?
--> No

Or what kind of sorcery do you use to get ranked higher and faster?
--> Sorcery is an odd word
you follow the rules
I am guessing you have not read the rules
nobody does these days
or less than 1% probably

I am asking because I indexed a brand new website in February and I did on-page SEO and I also added 12000 DA+40 backlinks
--> Oh come on !!!
You did not read the rules
1st DA does not exist --> Moz invented DA to sell software
2nd I very much doubt you added 12 RELEVANT and HIGH QUALITY backlinks
let alone 12 thousand

But the website is crawling google ranks really slow, and my keywords are in the native language and low competition
--> Be honest with yourself
does your site provide high quality authoritative content
or is it the usual keyword stuffed spam?
I want to help people that are worth helping
so are you REALLY helping others
or just trying to dupe the system?

Okay, here me out. The website I created was basically an ecommerce website, let it be. But I would like to make an affiliate website, where everybody, who wants a website, could basically learn to do it( the website would help them) and also the website would provide free themes(premium) for website and other knowledge to get your business up and running quickly. It's basically helping people right? But yes, the completion is high and there are hundreds, maybe even thousands of these sites. So to get traffic there should be some twist, to get visitors attention. Any thoughts?

1. Gotta look at the core problem
2. plus your core solution
So -
1. Many people want to become an affiliate marketer
Yes? Right then let us begin
their problem is how in the heck to do it?
2. Your solution is to streamline the process
my suggestion is to create a questionnaire
ask them important questions
then at the end your site provides solutions
Like NOTHING is easy
but if you do not try it --> you die having not tried it
can you live with not trying?
I cannot
So --> If you believe it is possible
you can start and not quit
the two most important ingredients
your journey may take you to unexpected places
but you just keep going
eventually something will work out for you
 
tag:[ai in affiliate marketing]
  1. I am setting up a AI / SEO experiment right now
  2. Scraping the top SERP content
  3. Formatting the text I scrape to the proper format to the AI paraphrasing API
  4. Running the AI paraphrasing API
  5. Splitting the scraped, formatted now paraphrased content into files of about 100 to 150 lines
    Bash: 
    $ split -l 110 file
  6. Using a plagiarizing substitution API
  7. Then editing the context some and formatting the HTML manually --going very fast now after having all the snippits done for any repetitive HTML.
Examples:
HTML: 
/var/www/html/.........../phpt/list-snippet
<div class="col-9" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">
<h3 style="text-align: center; color: red;">Important Points To Know:</h3>
<ul>
<li> </li>
<li></li>
<li> </li>
<li> </li>
<li> </li>
</ul>
</div>

<h3 style="text-align: center; color: blue;">subtitles</h3>

<p align="center"><b>bold centered_statement</b></p>

I reused a template I developed for something I now have on hold --due to the war in Europe
The subject is War time survival and how to bug-out fast and safely <<trending with our times ;)

It's now taking 1 hr to do 1,000 words of 96%+ "original" content << the plagiarism checker reports back. I have already committed 8,000~ words over 7 pages and it's getting faster as I work out the bugs.;)

The SEO keywords is just natural as it is just following the original content input context ;)
I could do the same with skin care or some other totally unrelated content. Dirty Deeds done dirt cheap ;)
Proof of concept is next --that remains to be seen ...

The automation part will use Amazon (AWIN and others) each new page calls a PHP include() of affiliate CPA to monetize (I hope).
**added I have the 'tecnology' to tailor the content to the data 'known' about the viewer (referred) already done for some time.
Now let's see if I can chump Google [again ;)]

The sweet part is leveraging the works of others without paying for it :D Well, this is no different that 'ad-spy tools' and scraping landing pages --now is it? I am really surprised at the AI quality Example of what I need to add to the pages --this is the "AI product"
HTML: 
<p> Understanding this terrible truth is the first step in preparing for civil war.</p>
<p> As always, you are on your own.</p>
<p> Or rather, alone within the confines of a group you've formed around common interests.</p>
<p> It's up to you to deal with many threats, both direct and existential.</p>
<p> Based on my studies and analysis, I have created a list of several factors you should consider when creating a
    long-term or short-term civil war response plan.</p>
These are lines in a row --I didn't cherry pick


The page I am currently working on 99% ain't too bad --713 Words not finished will add another 400-500 words ~

how bro can you explain more? btw what u did about SEO optimization for your websites, you need to check your website's performances for a chance to rank on search engines and get some organic traffic to your products, social media shares, etc.. a lot of work to do but it matters

Ask short questions in a list
--> and I will answer them
 
In all my affiliate experiences
and in all of my life experiences
SELF BELIEF is the key to success
If you believe you can do it that is half the battle
Some tips you might find useful -->
  1. Use a calendar or scheduler
  2. Keep learning new skills every day
  3. Slow progress is better than no progress
  4. Surround yourself with successful people
  5. Set clear & realistic goals
  6. Take care of your health
  7. Listen ONLY to constructive to criticism
  8. DO NOT watch television randomly --> pre-plan your viewing
  9. Build your self belief --> because ITS POSSIBLE
  10. Party like its 1969
You WILL make mistakes
You WILL take the wrong path sometimes
learn from your failures
and continuously improve your methods
Guys --> Success is a state of mind
KEEP GOING
 
I really want to emphasize this
you cannot imagine how much failure
I have had in life up to this point
but each failure learns a lesson
and you become stronger
--> you must keep going
do not resolve to defeat in your campaigns
however much time & money you have spent
however much you have lost
I am building a portfolio of affiliate sites
that I plan will take 3 or 4 months
to bear the fruits
but I am prepared for it to take years
So whoever you are
wherever you live
however difficult the road has been
KEEP TRYING
 
We are nearly at the end of Q1 2022
to sum it up my army (off affiliate sites) is still in training
that is to say the sites are mostly in development
it is set to be deployed throughout Q2
my target now is to become a full time affiliate by month 7
--> some time during Q3 (July thru September)
then really ramp up commission in Q4
I am not a pro at this yet
but the important lessons are being learnt
success through failure
the biggest lesson is making optimal use of time
 
Sometimes it's not about the money but rather the journey.
You will learn, make friends along the way, grow as an individual and be wiser (hopefully;)).
The money is the cherry on the cake at the end of the journey!

Keep hammering at it brother and good luck with your projects.

Money is only a trading commodity
and a universal trading commodity, which makes it so useful
in modern times money pays the bills
in ancient times it would have been sugar, salt, crops, livestock
or no trading commodity if you were self sufficient
it is the bills which I would rather not pay !!!
but if you want a modern lifestyle you need money
so my projects primarily aim to make money
The journey is called Life
and my primary objective in life
--> is to leave the world better than how I found it
that goal revolves around sustainability
in which we can all play a part
 
One of my newer content sites for destinations only did $5k the first year (2018), then only
$7k the second year. That site did $6k this Q1 so far and is shaping up to do that again (maybe a bit more) for Q2.

I LOVE CONTENT SITES!

Keep going with multiple sites Honeybadger and I promise they will continue to grow! You are doing it man and I (we, all of us) are super proud of you and admire your work immensely!

Your encouragement matters to me
it is a great driver, like a virtual mentorship
and I know you are correct
But sometimes it is so hard to just FOCUS
with so many distractions and problems of life
Some things I am trying
  1. Find a quiet space
  2. Turn off cellphone to silent
  3. No unscheduled television
  4. No unscheduled social media
  5. Use Google timer for 5 minute distractions (google timer - Google Search)
  6. Start work with a clear goal, begin & end time
  7. Do not engage is pointless arguments
  8. Say no to people if I am busy
  9. Ignore BREAKING NEWS alerts
  10. Plan & visualize a successful day

Intermittent fasting can help improve cognitive functions (including concentration). I've been intermittent fasting (20/4) for almost a month and I've definitely seen improvements in that area (and I've lost a ton of weight.)

It's not for everyone, but if you're interested in learning more (if you're not aware of this method already), I recommend the videos of Dr. Eric Berg on YT: https://www.youtube.com/c/DrEricBergDC

Or just google: "intermittent fasting focus".

@T J Tutor

Could you please share an example of a content website similar to the one you're talking about? It doesn't have to be the same niche, and obviously not one of your own websites.

I think I'm ready to finally start working on my first niche website and I'm a bit overwhelmed. I'm not sure where to start. :)

This has always been a challenge for me as I am an emotional person. It is my weakness in business and always has been. Some is good, too much is destructive and an interference. When I came to understand that about myself, I was in my late teens and set out to develop the skills to prevent it from being a "heavy element" in life, and especially in business. I have built psychological exercises into my thinking over all the years. Turns out, emotions are just a multiplier that require a refined skill set to properly manage so they become an asset. Once the skills are developed, the emotions become an asset that can be a very high value segment of your personal life and especially in your business(es)!

I think, from what I read about you, your business, and your life, some of this may be at the core of your frustrations with "so many distractions and problems".

Just a thought, maybe worth considering.

Just a moment of levity for us, I THINK THIS IS AMONG THE DUMBEST OF QUESTIONS! Only because it is generally followed by a question.

Just Ask Episode 4 GIF by Saturday Night Live

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

I now have six content sites (two under two years old), but three more launching over the next nine to twelve months.

2 x Private Jet Charters
1 x Private Yacht Charters
1 x Private Luxury Destinations
2 x Luxury Watch (one new watches, one previously owned)

I have had others and sold them. My first big success was with gentleman's personal valets (personal man servants) along with a supporting site for their needed supplies and connections (similar to our resources area here). I was actually forced to sell. The industry has a couple of big hitters in it and they went around and bought us all out, but at fair prices.
 
@T J Tutor
So can I ask --> :p
  1. Do you do all your own technical work or outsource it?
  2. How much competitor analysis do your perform?
  3. Do you think there is a market for people who want to be James Bond? Meaning an affiliate site with all Bond and spy related products/training programs
(sorry I am dumb :p)

Guess you could try this Google search
may find sites similar to @T J Tutor
"participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program" + "luxury"

These are my kinda sites
I do sites with transactional visitors
need to be actively buying something
not general interest visitors
--> although I do alot of SEO fishing
  1. finding related transactional questions from Google "people also ask"
  2. checking there is search volume (any search volume above zero)
  3. taking 15 minutes to create & publish a blog post (exact question is SEO H1 & META title)
  4. Quora (a website I detest for various reasons) is extremely good at this traffic tactic
