Blog Progress part1
I started this blog started on the 23th of February; now it’s the 15th of March and I’m getting around 300 unique visitors a day. I don’t have any paid links anywhere, nor have I done pay per click advertising. I’m getting most of traffic from Google organic, because I have over 400 pages indexed: I write about a very broad range of things and Google is showing me love by indexing for those keywords. However, the main key to this success is the feed subscribers and the returning visitors. Thank you guys for making it possible!
Right now I’m making $0 dollars with this blog: The server and various website work cost a lot. I’m also losing money because of the opportunity cost of running this blog: I do PPC marketing and that requires a lot of time. I’m not going to give up though, because I definitely see potential in this blog. Making a blog is like paying for college: At first it’ll cost a lot of money and seem hopeless. But if you keep working hard you’ll eventually recover any lost opportunity cost and have higher potential for earnings .
If you guys were wondering what the costs for this blog are.
Fixed Costs:
- $65 dollars Virtual Private Server from Liquidweb.
Variable Costs:
- $150 various outsourcing costs. Banners etc.
Goals for my blog by August:
- Get enough viewers to put up paid link ads. This profit will help pay for my website and also my rent, which is $950 without utilities!
- Reach Alexa top 100k
- 500 Feed Subscribers
Again, thank you guys for reading. Check in soon for some interesting articles and occasional progress reports!
Yeah.
