Challenging Myself to Get to Work
I’ve seen a lot of people create their own challenges lately. Although I don’t usually like to set myself up for failure, I’m about to give it a shot. I hate disappointment, just like most people do, and I usually do everything in my power to avoid it.
However, today I join the self-challenge crowd as I set up a challenge for myself. Let’s call it The 50 Dollars in 50 Weeks Challenge.
I need to get to work if I want to start seeing some income coming my way, so here’s what I’m going to do.
For 50 weeks I will be building a (minimum of) one site a week with the intent to earn $50 a day.
I’d love to be able to say I’m going to pop out 3 or 4 sites each week, but I do all the work myself so that’s not likely to happen. Anyway, $50 a day would mean I could officially abandon the old career path about 9 months into the challenge. That would be nice, because I’ve been toying with that option a lot lately anyway.
Every site will have to bring in about $1 a day on average, which seems like a stretch to me. My current income from my websites is more along the lines of $0.10 daily for each site on average. I have spreadsheets to prove it. :) Some sites do better, some do worse, but the average averages out and this average has been hanging around with my websites for almost 5 years.
It is definitely time to do something different if I want to beat this challenge.
These will be product related sites, with a minimum of 20 pages of highly-relevant, high-quality, unique content monetized with affiliate links and possibly some contextual ads.
And that’s it. Now, it’s time to get to work. The challenge started today and I have 17 more pieces of highly-relevant, high-quality, unique content to write this week!
