Since Monday ( well couple days before that ), I’ve been working on my little challenge.

Like I’ve mentioned before, I do better with challenges. Last time I tried to do 90 videos in 90 days. Um… didn’t quite finish, but I did do about 70. #FAIL… but that’s way more than I’ve ever done before.

So…

The challenge?
100 Blogs by July 31st
25 Affiliate sites by the same date.

The goal is to research them, build them, market them and by July 31st, monetize them to start making some money.

The whole point is to create a bunch of sites to earn passive income, so I can spend more time doing this I love doing.

Playing Catch up…

I’ve spent some of the time brushing up on my internet marketing skills, since it’s been some time that I’ve actually marketed money making blogs. It’s not like I made a bunch of money before, but those skills have helped me in many other areas of business.

What I did find out is that a lot of things have changed and many have remained the same. So not much to worry about there. What’s new is that there’s a bunch of new software out there to help make things easier, like wordpress for creating sites quickly, software to promote your marketing content to tons of networks and basically many ways to automate so you don’t have to work like a slave doing everything. Great!

What hasn’t changed, is that you have to do tons of work upfront before you even make any money and of course it all comes down to volume. Cranking out so many sites, although made easier with software etc, is still a challenge.

Progress So Far?

Researched a bunch of profitable keywords for the blogs and affiliate sites. ( 52 blog keywords | 15 Affiliate Keywords)
1. Installed 15 Affiliate Site
2. Registered Domains
3. Written Content for 11 of Those Sites
4. Written articles to promote said sites
5. Bought & found software to help with the automation process ( Magic Article Rewriter, Market Samurai, and Traffic Travis )
6. Bought memberships to article distribution communities to get as many links back to my sites so they rank better. ( Unique Article Wizard, Article Ranks and Article Marketing Automation )

This all seems to be tons of work, but it has to be done and what I’ve decided to do is batch a lot of things so I get them all in at one time.

So I’ll research all my keywords at once, buy all my domain names at once, install all site themes at once, etc.

It’s all been tedious, but it will pay off a few months from now.

Anyway, that’s it for now.

No rest, no breaks, look like a cavemen without a hair cut and focused on only internet marketing.

The challenge continues, stay tuned….
