Development and Short Term Goals Update
by Matt on , under Web Development
I’ve went mental with GoDaddy’s $0.99 .info deal and bought about 40 new domains so far. I would have had so many more if I’d found phrases that I could develop for. Ach well. I’ll concentrate on building what I already have and then I’ll have another look.
Site News
Fartnoises is going from strength to strength and I think within the next 2 weeks I’ll start breaking $10 a day consistently. I’d like to eventually break $20 with it before the summer.
On Sunday I discovered that everclearalcohol.info is generating 50-75 unique visits a day which is pretty cool. I still can’t find a decent affiliate program for it though. I’ll have to sign up for CJ again and try to create some links this time, heh.
I’ve now made enough to receive my first Adult Friend Finder check. Wahey, I’ll scan it in when I receive it.
New Goals, Re-Structuring
March 2007 – Consistently average $10 a day on Adsense by the end of the month
April 2007 – Average $22 a day
May 2007 – Average $37 a day
June 2007 – Average $60 a day. This is important as I’ve got a few ideas for a vacation in August and I’ll need about $1500 alone for the accomdation and flights.
This is easily achievable, especially if the recent growth rates are anything to go by. I just need to keep my focus. I’ve got a vague idea where I want to be in a years time, but I’d rather concentrate on fufilling these short term goals first of all and then set new targets that coincide with my overall objective once I’ve achieved them.

Hi Matt – Don’t you think you’re spreading your interests too thin? Surely if you concentrate on better marketing the sites you’ve already established, maybe getting them exposure on social media sites, that they’d gain more subscribers, people would start to talk about them and you’d gain more new visitors?
You’ve got some good ideas, but going scattergun with domain names seems like a slow and unreliable way to make money. Why not build a couple of strong brands and then flip them for bigger profit down the line?

Hey Gerard,
Yeah I understand that this might become a bit of a problem which is why I’m dedicating most of my time to 2 of my established sites and then prepping up 5 or so related sites that’ll become reasonable earners in a few months time.
I’ve got a few ideas for link bait too for my other sites which should be fun to implement.
By the way that’s a cool design site you have, whereabouts are you based?

I made (and still make) the mistake of spreading myself too thin around several sites. We focussed on one – Unreality TV, and it’s now making a pretty decent income.
My design site is a good example – I had it for a portfolio and had a separate blog for tech/internet stuff. I’ve recently decided to merge them into one and rather than gain adsense income use it to sell web design services.
Oh, we’re based in Crumlin, by the way.
