Mid Year – Six Figure Challenge Update

It has been a long time since I announced this challenge and too long since I have provided a detailed update on what I have been doing.

In this post I share exactly what I have been doing to date and the results I have achieved so far. Including what I have learned (good and bad), my path forward and many of the precise details of the site…

  1. Cost per article
  2. Monthly burn rate
  3. Income
  4. Traffic
  5. Org Chart etc

Like I talked about in my latest income post I have very clearly realized there were way too many goals for 2015 and my online business. I have not focused enough on this project to make it the massive success I was aiming to at the start of the year.

However the progress has been solid!

So far I have averaged triple digit % traffic growth month over month and the site is continuing to grow largely with organic traffic.

Pick a Problem and Build a Team – Phase 1 Six Figure Website Challenge

Our challenge to build a six figure website in 2015 is off to a good start with Phase 1 complete. Phase 1 is all about picking a niche and building a team…

  • The group I selected to be in the small mastermind with are all off to a great start! Very impressive group!
  • The public group has 273 members and every question someone has posted has received multiple fantastic answers from some of the active members of the group who also happen to be experts in their fields… Gael from AuthorityHacker, John den Haan head of SEO at Switched on Media, Philip Kleudgen, Jeff Fruhwirth and Dominic Wells from Human Proof Designs plus many more I didn’t mention. A big thank you to all of you who are making that group a success!
  • My project is well underway and the attack plan document (I shared the early details of here) is getting more and more details added to it with specific procedures for the different steps.

This post will cover both an update on how the project is going so far and what you can expect from me over the duration of the project. (more…)

Expired Domains and Private Blog Networks for my Six Figure Website Challenge?

Since announcing my plans to share how I will be building a six figure website in 2015 I have received a lot of questions.

One of the questions, understandably, has been do I plan to use expired domains, private blog networks or any other similar grey hat tactics?

This article will answer those questions, provide details of the plan I will be using and the risks associated with it.

The whole plan to build a six figure website is not substantially different from the case study that originally started AuthorityWebsiteIncome.com which was the building of the site (My Case Study Website URL is Now Hidden). That site turned into a reliable income earner of between 1k and 4k per month.

For that site I used a lot of content creation, outreach and some strategically used expired domains to build that site.

Let me directly answer the questions… (more…)
