Freelance writer experimenting with IM, where to invest?
Over the past couple years I've managed to make a tolerable living online ghost writing content for clients. However, my fiance is now expecting and it really has me searching for ways to diversify. I'd like to not be dependent on the fluctuation of my client list, and honestly it kind of just occurred to me that if these people are willing to pay me 50 bucks for an article... they must be making at least 4 times that kind of profit. Also, the idea of actually getting credit for writing is very appealing. Anyways, I digress...
I have set aside 2 grand for launching this blog. However, despite writing many SEO articles for clients... I'm completely overwhelmed by how utterly excruciating the whole promoting/backlinking process is. At this point, I'd be willing to invest another 2,000 just to save myself the hassle. The site has been live for a week, it's generating roughly 100 hits a day, and so far I've wasted 200 bucks on failed mylikes campaigns and gotten banned by adwords for apparently having clickbank links. Yeah, I'm a complete n00b.
If you were in my position, how would you invest between 2 and 4 thousand dollars to launch a health blog? My bad if this post was a little long winded. Basically, after getting banned by adwords it has become quite apparent that google doesn't play. I'm terrified of paying some hack to backlink for me and getting banned by google for black hat shenanigans.
I truly will appreciate any help or suggestions.
