AlphaWolf Introduction and Questions for you all!
Hello Warriors
After significant research I have decided to join this forum. It just looked clean and the discussions for the most part are useful and well moderated. This post has 2 parts - 1 is my introduction, and another is a question.
1. I am 25 this year. I have decided that I am going to break this online business thing or die trying. My partner is a coding genius. I am a marketing genius. At least, that's what we tell ourselves anyway. And as far as we are concerned, why live life any differently ?
Long story short, I have had an amazing career since getting out of college at 20. However, even now, as I work for one of the most successful companies in the world, I find myself scraping together cash at the end of the month just to have enough to meet all of my expenses.
Working for someone else just ain't cutting it! Most people live life in a walking daze, and I am glad there are those on this forum that think otherwise. I believe that spending a year doing what no one else will do will actually allow me to live a life that most would wish they could life. Even Hugh Hefner borrowed $6000 against his own furniture at age 26 to start the first issue of playboy. We all have those life changing moments.
2. I'd like to get the forum's opinions and advice on this. I hope I receive some cool insights, or any response at all would really make this young kid's day.
In our quest for money we decided to focus on our passion first. Since I am a pickup artist (more on this story on my personal blog alphawolfx.blogspot.com) we decided to focus on the niche to develop pualingo.com The site generates significant traffic and pagerank. However, it wasn't until after launch that we discovered low CPCs for AdSense ads in this market. We'll need 10x times the traffic to do some significant affiliate /direct advertising. Mistake number 1 was not checking the low CPC AdSense rates.
Second site we launched we focused on a high CPC industry. Execedprograms.com - discusses executive education program information. Mistake number 2 - most of the competitors in this industry are .edus, which means they have high PRs of 7+. So we are getting minimal traffic. Although, each click is worth a lot
I am having trouble working on the 2nd site, mostly due to a complete lack of passion. Do I really care about executives and their education? no. Not really. I mostly rack my brain about how to pickup girls... in all situations. This is our passion.
What are your thoughts on the 2nd site? What's the value proposition? Is it worth marketing / link building?
Thanks guys! Glad to be on this forum.
