100 Dollar a Day Challenge

I was cruising over at the Warrior Forum yesterday and came across this interesting post about Steve Crooks who started a challenge to see if he could take a brand new blog and have it earning 100 dollars a day with Adsense within 3 months. I love to see these types of challenges as they motivate you to succeed. Now whether you make the goal or not its that you actually made a goal. Steve did not make his goal of 100 dollars a day, but he did build a blog that will keep growing and will allow him to generate additional passive income.

I’m reading a book currently by Chris Gardner( he is the guy the the Will Smith movie, “The Pursuit of Happiness” is about). Chris’s latest book is titled start where you are and it has some very good advice. I’m not through with the book yet, but the jist of it is to not be afraid to take chances and use the talents and resources you have to achieve your goals. This is exactly what Steve did with his challenge. He made a public declaration of what he wanted to achieve and then he worked towards it. While some may say he failed because he did not achieve 100 dollars a day. I say he is a winner because he tried.

He got me to thinking perhaps I’ll challenge myself to produce better results than Steve. I discovered a niche last week which has a lot of potential. I have only posted a few articles to the blog I set up and the domain is brand new. This puts me in a position to take the same challenge as Steve, but add my own flavor of promotion and strategy.

This will allow me to do two things. First it allows me to challenge myself to work on this project which is important, because I was recently laid off from my day job and Internet Marketing is my only source of income. While I’m earning enough to pay all my bills and have a little left over, I could always use more and an additional $3 grand a month would come in handy.

I’m not going to reveal this niche, but I will explain my process and provide another niche which could be just as profitable that I’ve found, but have no plans of promoting.

This also gives me something to blog about on this site and perhaps it will help someone learn some new techniques from the process I show with this and how I build blogs to earn money.

Lets start with the awstats from my brand new blog right now. You will see that I only set it up on the 11th which is the same day I registered the domain. right now there are 10 posts on it and I have a list of two hundred post titles which I need to add to the blog before I’m going to be able to reach my goal. And even then its questionable as its really hard to bring a blog from nothing to 3000 dollars in three months or even six months, but I’m going to give it a try. Its not something I’ve ever done, so it will be learning experience for me as well as anyone reading this blog.
