Hello everyone,
For those who don’t remember me, I am a law graduate who lives in Turkey. I quit my job to create this website with the hopes of never have to do law again.
It’s the 9th month of my case study, and I wanted to share the progress with you. It’s been going good. I’m really happy with the progress and hopeful for the future.
Let’s get to the business.
What Have I Been Up To?
Last month, I aimed to write 40,000 links and create 10 backlinks. I managed to reach my goal of writing at least 40,000 words by writing 41,091 words. But money was running short, so I was only able to afford to buy 1 link.
Content
As I mentioned above, I wrote 41,091 this month, which gets me up to 220,696 words. I have 108 articles in total now. The articles that I’m publishing are ranking much faster now, which is great. I think I did enough work to help my site grow for the next couple of months.
Traffic
| Month | Organic | Referral | Direct | Social | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Month 1 (Jan) | 5 | 0 | 19 | 0 | 25 |
| Month 2 (Feb) | 6 | 0 | 10 | 0 | 16 |
| Month 3 (Mar) | 59 | 0 | 10 | 0 | 69 |
| Month 4 (Apr) | 235 | 0 | 57 | 0 | 297 |
| Month 5 (May) | 509 | 0 | 14 | 0 | 523 |
| Month 6 (June) | 768 | 0 | 43 | 0 | 811 |
| Month 7 (July) | 1,813 | 0 | 75 | 0 | 1,892 |
| Month 8 (Aug) | 2,902 | 0 | 122 | 0 | 3,024 |
| Month 9 (Sep) | 3,399 | 0 | 139 | 0 | 3,538 |
Traffic hasn’t increased too much from the previous month. But I published a lot of content that I believe will help with the growth in the future.
Clicks
| Month | Clicks | Ordered Items | Shipped Items | Returned Items | Conversion Rate | Total Earnings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Month 6 (Jun) | 729 | 23 | 22 | 0 | % 3.16 | $ 32.78 |
| Month 7 (Jul) | 3,199 | 78 | 69 | 2 | % 2.44 | $ 97.17 |
| Month 8 (Aug) | 4,894 | 57 | 60 | 10 | %1.16 | $ 113.15 |
| Month 9 (Sep) | 5,485 | 104 | 99 | 2 | % 1.90 | $ 238.02 |
I also made £17.47 with the Amazon UK Affiliate Program. I am very happy with my earnings since my initial goal was to get to 500 Dollars. I already made half of that, which is very nice.
Besides that, I should mention what’s going on with my click numbers. They were always unrealistically high, and they started to drop since the beginning of October. So, I posted this issue on the sub. The responses that I got make me believe that I was getting spammy clicks. I still get 80-100 clicks a day, which is still very good compared to my traffic, and it is much more realistic.
Links
Buying links is amazing. I think trying to reach out to websites and waiting for them to answer is a waste of time. Also, they don’t usually link you for free anyways. Since I ran out of money, I was only able to buy 1 link this month. But in the future, I will get some good links from this website when I have money.
Goals
I will have to do my compulsory military service until the end of this month. So, I won’t even be able to log in to the website. I have to hope that nothing will go wrong when I’m away.
That is also the reason I don’t have a goal this month. I managed to write 16,614 since the beginning of this month, and I’m satisfied with it.
Thanks for reading guys! See you next month.
