It was an intriguing day today. Our little gathering of web advertisers has been tested. The subject of the test was: the way to bring in cash contributing to a blog in 60 days or less. The thought was to decide whether any blogger (counting a novice) who focuses on it can produce $2000.00 or more in 2 months or less. All the more definitively, we were tested to see whether it was feasible for another blogger to bring in cash with a blog following a straightforward arrangement. Every one of the members would stick to something similar or a comparative arrangement on a fundamental level and would collaborate at standard stretches. The means of the arrangement would be uncovered to us everyday by the head of the test.
Make Money Blogging General Plan
1. The Goal – Make $2000.00 OR MORE
2. Total Budget – $100.00. The budgets is to be used initially for the expenses that include a domain name, or hosting of a blogg and autoresponders.
3. Duration – 60 days
4. Minimum Time Allotted – 60 minutes per day minimum (one is not restricted to 60 minutes if one has the time)
The idea behind this plan is to demonstrate that anyone who takes consistent action can succeed and can earn money with a blog. There was bit of a debate whether we would be starting a fresh blog or could we use blogs that are not yet established as in traffic or making money.
I was tempted to start a new blog, but then I changed my mind. I decided to use Blogging Spree blog for the following reason: the blog is in its infancy. At the time of writing this post the domain name is only 30 days old and I only started the blog on the 14th of February, 2013, meaning, 27 days ago.
The traffic at Blogging Spree at this time is very low and only slowly trickling in, so it will be easy to follow the progress and the results of this challenge with Google Analytics (see below). As well, all links that will point to any products I may promote will have a tracking code so that I can easily distinguish the income from any other sources.
The objective of this plan is to drive free traffic to the blog, build a list and generate money from this traffic. Once the money flows in, the process can be scaled up and one can purchase paid traffic to build the list even further for potentially more revenue.
My Initial Expense For This Blog
Required – all participants had to invest in the following 3 items
1. Domain Name – $10.95 for a year at Name
2. Hosting – 3.95 monthly at Hostgator
Optional - I chose this program to help me kick start my free traffic generating efforts
Simple Traffic Solutions – $4.95
My initial expenditure – $23.85
Now is the time to reveal Blogging Spree Google Analytics results at the start of this challenge:
Blogging Spree results from Google Analytics. On March 13th (red arrow and red circle), by 9:58 pm EST there were 11 visitors to the blog. A pretty low result. Therefore I felt justified to include this site into the experiment.
The objective was set at just $2000.00 in light of the fact that numerous new and even bloggers who have been grinding away for quite a while, don't appear to know how to bring in cash publishing content to a blog and bring in no cash by any means. Regardless of whether they have been writing for a blog for various years. Others bring in just modest quantities of cash. This isn't on the grounds that it is beyond the realm of possibilities.
There are many bloggers who make money from their blogs. John Chow and Pat Flynn are just two such examples. Both of these bloggers make in excess of $40,000.00 per month from their blogging endeavors. Mind you, they have been blogging for quite a long time.
This experiment is a true experiment because, although all the participants are internet marketers, their experience varies from a newbie to a more seasoned blogger. As well, some people have very limited spare time, others may be able to devote more time to this project. It will be interesting to compare all the results and learn how the different variations in both expertise and time will affect the results.
At this point I am not sure if I’ll be reporting the results daily or weekly. I would prefer a weekly progress report because I do not want to flood this blog with just one sided reports. This could prove boring for some.
In the weekly reports I will summarize my daily activity related to Blogging Spree and the experiment. I will share with you Google Analytics data to see if the traffic is rising significantly. In addition, if there will be any sales, I will report those as well.
I am looking forward to this project and I hope you will enjoy following the progress of this blog. Please feel free to join my news and updates to make sure you don’t miss anything that is going on with the project. Together we can explore how to make money blogging by devoting only 60 focused minutes per day to the project. Can it be done? Well, we’ll find out! Looking forward to week one report.
