How I Spent My Time Tonight

Spent most of the time after work (yep still doing the 9-5 at this stage) working out a long term strategy for pure article writing and submissions. Have planned to write, edit, polish and submit 4 articles per day, as an average. An average I suggest for me, as some days I may write only one or two, other days I will write up to ten.

I also looked at a plan for the next 12-24 months for this challenge, with looking even longer term for up to 30 months.

After six months I will have produced over 720 published articles. I expect a click-through-rate on these articles of about 10% (I am an established author of a few Article sites and some generate a 14% CTR and some generate a 6% CTR) and a potential CTR of AdSense on the Hub of about 4% at about $0.75 per click. So I may be looking at hitting the goal at about that mark. That should churn about $100 to $300 per month just on AdSense. Not sure until the six months has passed about additional income from flow on to other Hubs, Amazon sales, affiliate sales etc.

After 12 months I will have 1440 articles, and after 24 months 2880 (or more) articles floating around with an expectation of many doing well in SERPS.

The difficulty will also lie in the fact that the niche is broad, yet there are many, many sub niches I can exploit within the main broad niche.

Finally, I have setup an Excel spreadsheet with the article goals set out on one section and another section for actual articles and results produced. This will help me see if I am achieving target or not.
