Alright guys and gals, I've been an active member of this forum for quite a bit of time now and after seeing a few journals I figured why not create a journal of my own. However, this isn't your ordinary journal its got a few twists and perks to it... I've dubbed it project two way street because it will be two projects combined into one. It's sort of a test or a comparison between two different niches to see how well the products in it convert and see how much they earn me after 60 days. I will use all the information I've learned over the past 2-3 months to promote these sites... One of these topics will be very competitive, but a tried and tested niche that is known to be successful and the other will be a less established niche but that I have no background information on conversions. There isn't a set amount that wish to make after the 60 day period, but a fair few bucks would be nice. Site 1: This site will be full of content. It is in a less competitive niche, but one that I know a fair bit about from the damn boring lessons I have on it at school. I will promote a variety of products on it including those through CJ (Commission Junction) and CB (ClickBank). AND Site 2: This will be a site in a very competitive niche, however this niche is more of an "urgent" niche and a buyer would be generally more inclined to buy. Again, it will be full of content. I will be promoting both CB (ClickBank) and CPA (Cost Per Action) offers on this site. So, what's the twist? Whatever I do to one site I must do to the other. That is the rule to ensure both sites are tested somewhat fairly. For example, if I produce 10 articles and submit them to EZA for one niche I must do exactly the same for the other. I hope this will be a good study for those of you who are new to affiliate marketing to compare a competitive niche to a not very competitive niche and also see what can be done from scratch within 60 days. I will update this journal with text atleast once every two days if not once every day to tell you what I've done and what plans I have. I will also be posting video content once or twice a week on my new blog (address is below). I hope everyone can learn a little something from this . My blog is located @ Fifteen Year Marketer Peace out, Yousef | edrectory
Hi edrectory! Should be interesting to see what you come up with. Are you going to use FREE traffic sources only?
This sounds like a very interesting take on these journal type threads, I shall be looking forward to your posts Yousef.
I'll use free taffic sources at the start and I'll eventually progress onto some PPC if I feel the need. . Thanks man Thanks. I'll be looking forward to writing them. Thanks Well 60 days isn't that long, only 2 months but we'll see how it goes. In terms of an update I've almost done the landing page for the first site. As I want some I guess you could say "high quality" sites so I'll be done creating both in about 3/5 days I reckon .
Sorry about not updating yesterday, had alot of coursework due in for school and crap. However, I have almost got one of the sites fully set up and should be launching it either tommorow or Friday night . I'm tired and off to bed, peace out . I'll hopefully share with you tommorow my "map" for SEO & Backlinking plus networking and subscriber ideas .
