Cancer, IM and My Ego (Plea for Help)
A couple of weeks ago I just found out my mother has cancer and now I am scared as hell about what will happen and her ordeal has forced my hand to ask for help. It is no longer about my ego anymore and not wanting to seek out help; now I just want to make a little extra money to help with my bills so I can free up time to be there for her.
In a nutshell, I am asking for help because I have a site I have been working on for some time now, that I feel can make $20-30 a day if I knew what the hell I was doing to get taffic there. I know that doesn't seem like a lot of money to most people, but for me it means less hours at work and enough to help with some of my bills.
I'm hoping this will give me a little more time so I can help my mom (take her to apts, make meals, be there to comfort her, etc) - which is why I need to figure this out once and for all and I am basically begging for help.
Here is some background on my site:
It is in a niche I know very well and is a little over 2 years old. I have written all of the articles myself (around 500 pages of content) and I even created a free ebook that I know can help save lives (safety related). The PR of my site is currently only a 2. I believe I get maybe 5-10 visitors a day if I am lucky. It is currently monetized with Adsense.
I am really struggling with SEO. I took a course on how to pick out Kws and write articles around them. I felt like I did a good job of picking out KWs that people were searching on and that you could write really in depth articles on.
I started to try building backlinks in February and I did the whole article marketing thing for several months. I joined SYA and wrote dozens of articles and linked them to my inner pages, but it didn't seem to really help.
Awhile back I came across the article syndication thread "A question for Alexa Smith and MYOB"
So I decided to start contacting blog writers in my niche... I contacted around 30 people so far and had two of them publish my articles.
I am linking directly to my front page to try and build up the PR.
The true article syndication seems like it is a good idea, but I am so afraid of wasting my time and it not working.
I only have about 2 hrs a day I can spend promoting this site - can someone please give me their advice on if I am on the right track or what else I should be doing?
I promise I'll pay it forward and I don't think anyone understands how much this would mean to me at this time.
