Just want to know if I'm on the right track

Start with a website first. All those articles are going to link somewhere, right? Make sure you have a way to transform temporary traffic into a semi-permanent pool of readers. In other words, your site must have a list building feature.

Hello,

For me, this is a great idea. You can also try marketing in the social media such as; facebook, instagram, and, twitter. What is great about marketing your work in the said social medias is there are different people in it. There are possibilities you can encounter a businessman.
Hope this helps!

thedudeness,

You are most certainly on the right track because you have a thought out plan.

Who cares what suggestions come through - just put your plan in motion and you will learn (by doing) what to change and what to keep.

So yes, you are certainly on the right track and you picked an evergreen market so great first step.

Keep us up to date on your progress!

I'm not going into debate if plan will work or not, i.e. if you will get barely any money or a truckload of it with your website. Success in converting readers into buyers is something that is totally different than success in seo, ranking in serps and alike. Contrary to many, many people's belief, having a traffic does not equal to earning a cash.

But, here are my comments:
1. Good. Keep pace with updating original content for a longer time. Your niche is wildly competitive, and 4-5 weeks of updating site may not shake the ground enough. Have you researched how much content do your competitors have (for keywords you intend to target?) - if yes, plan for double the amount of your competitors' content
2. What do you mean by 'Submit your site to article directories'? Article dirs accept articles, not sites (as opposed to web directories where you actually submit your website's URL and other basic info). Make sure articles are also unique, and that backlinks from your resource box point to many different URLs on your website.
3. Yeah, just don't overdo it, otherwise you'll be spending more time maintaining posts/statuses on other sites, rather than on your own website. If you want to create an instant buzz towards content on your website, I would rather employ some social media service to do the work instead of me focusing on more important things, such as how to monetize my website.
4. Same as 3. Bring in some moderate link building campaign into mix. Article marketing + social signals alone will not be enough to rise in serps.
5. If you already have articles that are not "salesy", rather mix them with Adsense. CB offers and Amazon products need some advertorial articles/reviews before you can expect anyone to buy anything from you. General articles won't sell CB or Amazon offers, you'll need to have articles that are targeted toward the offers.
6. You need to clearly define pages on your websites where you are supposed to bring paid traffic in via PPC - especially if you will deal with adwords, msn, yahoo and alike. I'm not sure if target pages are allowed to have adsense if you drive paid traffic to them. Also, affiliate marketing and affiliate offers are very difficult to promote via these networks as they ban many CB offers, and also Amazon is full of trademarks that you are not allowed to use in your ads (yeah, you can try bidding on general terms, but prices are so high that you will burn eventually and very fast, unless you have high budgets). You'll probably be better off with media buying on sites that already have targeted traffic and demographics similar to your target audience.
7. Yes, rinse and repeat - but only if you've had success with what you've planned.

All the best with your endeavors!

I may have missed list building in your plan - or maybe it was implied? But, when reading about low cost items - please do not use a free autoresponder because it will come back to bite you. And, definitely do not use Mail Chimp because their terms of service do NOT allow you to send affiliate recommendations.

You are right - make a plan, work the plan, follow your metrics (optins, unique visitors or what ever you are measuring) and tweak the plan to improve your numbers. Click the last link in my sig line and pick up the tracking graph - makes tracking your metrics visual and a whole lot more fun

Good job Thedudeness .Mamadou say yes original article is better but why you are using articles?For back links ?If you want to compete in those niche Mamadou advise you to work on creating a brand .Article SEO is long gone specially for a new cite you can get penalize if done wrong .Build your brand use social media a lot Google will reward you that way.Ho yeah also if you have some money get some high PR links or buy High PR domains and link them to you .Good luck!

Your plan seems to be very good, and you seem to be intelligent.

However, the internet is complicated and internet marketing is very difficult. There is a fierce competition online in basically all niches. You have to work hard, and you have to keep working or outsource a few things.

You should look for professional help when you cannot do something the right way. Use the Warriors for Hire forum. Building a business is difficult and it takes some time to start working.
