Gameoftheday.net first month was a success because it was able to earn $100.11 with only investing $31.00 in to the project. I hope this project has taught you as much as it taught me. I know the main thing I learned was to stay focused and battle through the problems. The following is a review of the earnings, expenses, and visitors since the grand re-opening.

Damn. Gameoftheday.net had some sweet numbers for the first month. Will the second month out do the first month? We will see.
You need to know that you can do the same thing. You don’t have to be smart to be successful. You just need to start and begin your trial & error. This project was able to turn $31.00 into $100.11 in only a month, which would make anyone happy because that’s a 322% return (I think). Even if your project only earns $10.00 the first month, you should still be happy cause you would be able to reinvest it into advertisement and earn more the following month. Anyone can do this too; however, I would recommend a better niche with higher paying keywords.
For the second month, I’ll be reinvesting most of the earn money from the first month into advertisement. I’ve bought $97.27 worth of advertisement from adengage.com. This makes me a little worried because I’ve never spent this much before on a project. The advertisement starts tomorrow, February 8th, with a few added improvements to gameoftheday.net.
I’ll be adding another page with 50 random funny in-game pictures with captions tomorrow. This should improve the project
For the next week, I’ll be tweaking the advertisements until it generates a positive return. After the tweaking is done, gameoftheday.net will be finished and I’ll be moving onto a new project. I’ll still keep everyone updated on the project for the next month.
Even if you only have $10, use it to purchase a domain and begin developing a site and start your trial & error process. Sooner you start the trial & error the sooner you’ll become successful.
