Case study: From $5 to $1000 in 1 month (with CPA), can it be done?
Several years ago I bought an IM course (not on CPA), and in 1 week, created 1000 backlinks, and improved my traffic significantly (I averaged 100 uniques a day by the end). Unfortunately, the method given on that course, didn't actually make any money, but at least I learned how I can build traffic effectively. Of course, things might be different since Panda and Penguin, but there's only one way to find out if a similar approach will work now, and the big difference is that on this site I am already getting conversions and making real money!
So, over the next 30 days, I plan to build backlinks (and traffic sources) as effectively as I can, and see what the results are. I would like to get to $1000 per month ($33 per day) by the end of 30 days, but we'll see what happens in practice!
I will be using free methods to do all this myself, and making a wide variety of different types of backlinks (and traffic sources). I have several other IM projects ongoing, and I guess I'll be putting more than half of my time into this one, overall. So far I've only created a couple of social bookmarks to this site (which is about 5 months old), and a couple of links from a Squidoo lens I made years ago on a relevant subject.
As I've said, I made $5.20 from this site in the last 30 days, and in June got only 80 unique visitors (20 so far this month). So plenty of room for improvement
I welcome suggestions as I go along (although I can't promise I'll implement them all!)
I'll report on this thread, every few days or so, as to what I've done, and what the results are.
