With this site being a baby still, under a month old, the progress and growth has been exciting and interesting. I hope everyone is enjoying this challenge as much as I have been. It’s been a little of a 10 days since the last update on the progress, because after the site was finished developed, there isn’t much to do or talk about. Since the last update, I’ve been mainly working on my other projects.

What has been done in the past week? Let me think… Oh Yeah! Not Much.

  • Re-wrote The MRSA Treatment Article
    It took me about 20 minutes to re-write the article. The reason of doing so was to be able to submit it to article directories for more Back links.
  • Submitted The Article To Directories
    Spent around 30 minutes submitting to this article to around 10 article directories.

  • 2 Blog Comment Posts
    Just posted some small comments on related blogs.

Income

With these three sources of income (Adsense, Kontera, and ShoppingAds) the site has earned a total of $12.15 making the daily average to $0.50. This means this challenge is going as planned.

I might be able to finish this challenge sooner than the expected 3 months. Even if the site begins earning $1 a day, I will still keep you updated on it at lease 3 month. Here are the stats so far:

This morning started out a little crappy because of an awful dream. It woke me up at 5:30am and I couldn’t go back to sleep. Basically it was a dream about someone shooting me. When I decided to wakeup and get the computer, I was like a zombie at the keyboard. I was possibly drooling with a little eye twitch too. Well of course until I got my coffee than I became a half zombie still not capable of using my brain to work on my sites. Finally 7 hours later! I’m ready to write about the progress of the $50 Into $1 A Day Challenge.

So… I fibbed a little. In the last post I stated, “With the site done, the link development process begins.” Wrong! I decided to put some more time into the site and develop a simple blog on the site to help with promoting the site by allowing me to use trackbacks. I still might do a couple of other small things to the site but nothing major. Most of my time will be spent on the link development for now on.

What have I been up to with this challenge for the past couple of days? Not much. I don’t want to force too much at this stage of link development. I want search engine to see the increase of links as natural. These are the things done in the past couple of days:

  • Setting up the blog
  • Posted three more blog comments on related Blogs
  • Sent link exchange request with two related sites.
  • Added Kontera

Reader’s To Do List

  1. Write another (400 to 500 words) article
    All you have to do is write another into article on your topic so you can submit it to article directories.

  2. Comment on related Blogs
    Find two more related Blogs to comment on. Don’t Spam these comment with links just write the comments tastefully.

  3. Add a Wordpress Blog
    This will allow your visitors to trust the site more. Also it will give search engines more pages to index.

What does everyone think? Is this challenge even worth doing? I can hear people say, “$1 a day! WTF! I can’t do anything with an extra $30 a month. my phone bill is more then that.” I would respond with, “When I first started, it took me three months to earn $30 each month and I was excited because I knew if I could make $30 month online. I could make $3,000 month. Also when I first started, my focus was to develop site to improve my skills as an Internet Publisher. I might not be making $3,000 a month, yet, but I’m half way there.” Even though $1 a day isn’t that much, I would take that $1 a day over $0 a day… anytime!

To reassure you everything is proceeding as intended. To bring everyone one to the same page on this challenge, here is a little update. It begun wanting to help other Internet Publishers but allowing them to follow me through the process of developing and promoting a mini content site with only $50 to invest. The only way to achieve victory is by having this $50 mini content site earning $1 a day in three months (June 18). After four days, the site is developed with a total of 7 pages, basic logo, and three streams of income. That brings everyone up to date. With the site done, the link development process begins. I want this site to be ranked first in search engines for its main keyword.

The first step is already done on the link development, which is getting it index in search engines.

Link Development

Lets get this mini content site making some money!

This is the point where most Internet Publishers fail… Any Schmuck can develop a site but the problem is getting that site to earn money. These past two days, I’ve been going full speed on the link development process. The following are the things already done:

  • Posted two blog comments on related Blogs.
  • Submitted the sitemap.xml to Google Webmaster Tools
  • Submitted to 20 free directories
  • Developed a mini blog on wordpress.

Reader’s To Do List

  1. Find some related Blogs to comment on
    In Google, type keyword + comment. That should get you on the right path.

  2. Submit to 20 directories
    You can use one of my previous post’s to achieve this. http://bobschmuck.com/20-free-directories-submit-your-site/

  3. Develop a Mini Blog on Wordpress
    On that blog, add a link to your mini content site.

My old online buddy, Khalid has wrote a great blog post on “Breaking Down Success“. His post explains why even $1 a day is important. If you have some free time, I would recommend you reading this inspirational blog post.

It’s getting very close to begin the link development process to get this baby ranking in search engines. The logo still needs to be worked on because it is to difficult to read but I just wanted something there to start out with. The following is the work that I’ve finished today and the future work needing to be done for the site development step.

Finished Work

  1. Adsense
  2. Meta Tags
  3. All the Pages of Content

Future Work - Update

  1. Privacy Policy - Done
  2. Simple Sitemap - Done
  3. Adding ShoppingAds - Done
  4. Redesign the logo - Done
  5. Adding Kontera- Contacted them to add this site to my account.

Reader’s To Do List

Todays list of thinks you need to do to begin your journey to $1 a day mini content site.

  1. Find a Design
    A very simple way to get a design for your mini content site is by using one of the free web site templates at oswd.org.

  2. Add the content
    Hopefully, your writer has finished your articles for your site. If so, begin adding it to the site.

  3. Make a logo
    Remember it doesn’t have to be the nicest or coolest, it just has to fit into the design of the site. If you need a program to design your logo, I would recommend downloading “Greenbox Logo Maker” at glowleaf.net/tools. Also you should read his blog. I just recently found it and enjoyed his articles.

That pretty much covers today. After work, I might have a little be more time and decided to finish the rest of Future Work, tonight.

Take a look at the site so far. Not to shabby for only spending a total of 58 minutes to get it to this point. It might not be the best design but from experience I know this basic design will do for this type of challenge.

  • Coded a simple design
  • Created the logo
  • Added the first page of content
  • Statcounter

The development part of the site is almost done with a few things needing to be done. I still need to finish the meta tags, adding the other pages, sitemap, and the privacy policy. After those things are done, my time will be used on getting backlinks to get the site ranking and earning $1 a day. The coolest part amount mini content sites are the little amount involved developing the site. Most of the time is spent promoting the site.

Do you ever thought it could be this easy? Well… it is! I’ve developed many mini content sites for the past couple of years and found that even if they are small simple sites they can still rank in search engines and bring in a nice amount of monthly income.

]]> http://bobschmuck.com/50-into-1-a-day-%e2%80%93-first-day/feed/ $50 Into $1 A Day http://bobschmuck.com/50-into-1-a-day/ http://bobschmuck.com/50-into-1-a-day/#comments Fri, 18 Apr 2008 18:03:42 +0000 Bob Schmuck http://bobschmuck.com/50-into-1-a-day/ This might sound like a simple challenge for experienced Internet Publisher but I know newcomers need the guidance on how to develop their first $1 a day website on a limited budget ($50). Knowing how to invest with $50 will allow them to smartly invest $100, $500, $1,000 or even more.

By following my challenge on turning “$50 into $1 a day”, you will learn the SEO methods used to develop a simple mini content site into a passive income source. Most of the methods for the developing and promoting will be cheap or free allowing anyone to follow in my footprints on this challenge.

Rules

For the rules, the total amount of cash that can be invested on this challenge is $50, excluding the hosting. The only link allowed is from my blog in these posts trying to help you see the development process; however, none of my other network of sites can aid in this challenge. My deadline will be 3 months from now on June 18th. The only reason this challenge needs at lease 3 months is because it takes Google awhile to get it indexed and ranking for the selected keywords. I’ll admit this is definitely a drawback on developing sites and earning money with SEO.

Details

With a budget of $50, it will cover buying the content, domain, and promoting. Here is the breakdown of the money spent so far.

  • Topic: MRSA Superbug
  • Domain: www.mrsasuperbug.info - $1.19
  • Content: Outsourced Articles - $22.10

  • Total: $23.29

Just with the domain and content, they already used almost half of my budget so on this challenge I only have $26.71 for advertising this mini content site. That will be plenty of money seeing that normally I don’t spend anything on advertising.

Common Questions

Why did I choice this topic, MRSA Superbug?
I was watching Dr. Phil on TV and they had an episode on MRSA Superbug. It got me thinking about developing a site on that topic so I started researching the keyword and found that it only had 114,000 competitors on Google. Then I checked the amount of searches and noticed it got a decent amount of searches a month.

When did I decide to do this challenge?
It was April 6th when reading Jon Waraas post on “$150 A Day Arbitrage Challenge” and it reminded me about my first challenge gameoftheday.net. My knowledge since that challenge has increase immensely and I wanted to share it to others.

What makes this challenge different than others?
The main difference is that the main goal for this challenge is obtainable by any newcomer to Internet Marketing. The second difference it requires very little amount of money to succeed. The third difference is at the bottom of each post there will be a To Do List for my readers.

Reader’s To Do List

Stated previously, here is a to do list for anyone that wants to test and try the methods throughout this challenge.

  1. Find A Source Of Income
    Adsense, Yahoo Publisher Network, NeverBlueAds, anyone of those would work.

  2. Research a topic for your mini content site
    Type in your topic in Google and check the competitors for that niche. Then use this Keyword Tool to check the amount of searches per month.

  3. Buy a Domain
    After you found your topic/niche for your mini content site, you need to write or outsource someone to write your articles, which will include 1 (500 word intro article) and 4 (500 word intro articles).

I would highly recommend to get started on your To Do List, today. Don’t Wait. Start Now! If you have any comments, request, or questions, just let me know. I want this challenge to help as much people as possible.
