Surpassed 5k visitors for November- WOW!

Another milestone to report! My site has now surpassed 5k visitors for the month of November and has generated the most income for me so far! I have 5x the amount of traffic than I did in October - so I think I am doing pretty good! Not to mention my adsense revenue has increased 10x (best day was almost $10 on adsense)!

Nov Earnings:

Almost $60.00 this month from Ad-sense
Almost $50 from amazon commission and other affiliates....

I am starting to feel pretty excited and am ready to move onto another project soon. However, I do still have some goals on my first project (this one)

I have not yet tapped into my email list, which now has over 50 subscribers. I am finally going to start using my email list, which now has over 50 subscribers. I will also be starting this tomorrow Dec 1st, with an overview of my new blog postings.

I will also need to setup an email account/campaign through a provider - which services are low cost and reliable? I've heard good things about AWEBER but want to go with the *right* provider.

My goals for Dec:

1. Triple the income I made in November - I want to reach $300+ in December
2. Increase email opt-ins by giving away a PLR product - then setup automailer with 5-10 follow-ups that build trust on my topic... Maybe throw in an offer here and there...
3. Start promoting CPA offers via email and blog postings
4. Hire a VA to help with content development, syndication, SEO, and social media (interviewing now...)

Any recommendations on this strategy? Should I focus on something else or proceed as planned?



Of note, I am doing this as a SIDE job, but have been devoting close to 8 hours a day at my efforts. Hopefully it starts to pay off soon


Thanks again to everyone for their sincere efforts in helping myself and other fellow members - what a great community it is here!
