This brief update s to really share some of the flesh i’m putting on the bones of how i’ll actually be making money over the next year. Some of the terminology may not make any sense, and for those of you who it reads like double dutch, i will be introducing a glossary page to this blog over the next week or so. If you have a burning question, then just leave a comment and i’ll be happy to reply!
So my immediate quick wins will be through pay per click marketing – or PPC as it shall be known hereafter. PPC is a way to instantly drive traffic to a web page – the only downside is you pay everytime somebody clicks your ad.
The highest amount of traffic can be got from something called Google Adwords – this is the site that lets you pay for ads on Google. I won’t go into anymore detail right now, as the detail will come when I start to launch my campaigns.
Secondly i’ll be building 4 sites over the course of the year, with a view to SEO’ing them and monetising them from the organic traffic they’ll receive.
Thirdly, i’ll be using something called contextual advertising, which is a bit like PPC, but you serve your ad in a number of different ways.
Fourthly – any other opportunities that I spot during the course of the year!!!
A rough guess, i’ll say that65% of my revenue by the end of the year will come from PPC, SEO will be 25% and contextual 10%.
Go ahead and ask questions!!!
