Newbie with 500 uv/day now what???

6 replies
Hay guys,
So heres the bones of it. I have a site that is now 2 years old, i recently checked up on it and was amazed to find it has 500 uv a day and is slowly growing. I have absolutely no idea what to do next. Its a resource tool for students, so i created a clickbank account, found a decent looking product in the education section and put a skyscrapper add on each page. That was today so no results yet. Is there anything else I should be doing, i'm a complete amateur at this.

Okay the next bit is just a little bit of background about my situation so feel free to skip.

I dropped out of school when i was 17 3 weeks before exams because i could see exactly where my life was going, uni then a career and i didn't want that. I've set up some small business in my youth and made decent money and it struck me that trading your time for money is stupid and you should try and automate.

I hashed together this website with high hopes everyone would soon see my brilliance. It never happened and since then I've kind of been embarrassed by the whole affair because of how high my horse was when i rode out of school and pissed everyone off. Since then I;ve been traveling around and working low level jobs where ever i am.

I'm 19 now and lucky now that i have a lot of time to invest and I'm not pressured by the fact that if it doesn't make a lot of money in the first month
i can't pay rent so i really want to make a go at this.

Anyway so I'm looking for a bit of mentoring to help me get a modest income coming in. I would be ecstatic with $300 a week which i'm sure is very achievable.

If you need any more stats about the site or anything like that please just ask. At the moment all i can think to do is, improve the content of the website, its defiantly not as useful as it could be, expand into a parallel niche, learn more about seo to boost traffic, learn how to monetize better.

Which of these options is the most valuable use of my time? or have i missed something else?

Sorry for writing such a long post

    you might be able to add more pages and have other things to sell (say from amazon) that would help students.

    I would create or find something free to giveaway and start building a list. Skyskraper ads are fine but most people don't even look or click on them because their eyes are trained to ignore ads. Maybe add some affiliate links into your content.

    If you're getting 500 views a day and you should be able to build a decent list.

      Hey Matt,

      I would look for a reputable mentor on this forum by looking at the comments (positive comments from actual students) on the WSO they offer and also if he teaches (Coach) on something that interests you and that you feel it`s your thing on the Internet.

      There's many many ways to make money, before choosing a mentor, register to a few free newsletters from Gurus, learn from the valuable info, choose what you want and than FOCUS on one strategy at a time and don't give up.

      Cheers,

      David

    Build a list by adding an optin box to the site and offer something for people to sign up so that you can build a relationship with all this traffic and continue to add value to them, give them updates and promote offers to them.
