Heck. I think I am going to try to go at it the Grizzly way and make this a blog that is going to target this niche and be keyword optimized.

Completely agree about the work ethic. I admit I used to spend more time on forums etc. when first starting out, but now I’m definitely just straight article writing/ keyword researching for five hours a day (well, I personally end up working 10 hours a day for 4 days of the week and two more I have classes so I can’t work as much and one day off; I couldn’t pound the pavement like Ben without going insane).

So if this is a possible niche targeting website instead of an actual blog, then do you have a site you’re going to blog on for sure?

Thanks for the kind words. Don’t be reading my older posts.. I have been juggling between making this blog public and with some valuable information and actually blogging, and just making it a niche website that internet marketers build quite a lot.

Don’t get me wrong; 250 hours is just the tip of the iceberg and if you intend to make any money, those 250 hours had better be hard ass work and not dicking around someones new mmo blog. If you can continuously work for 5 hours a day and actually make something happen – write articles and do keyword research and nothing else for those five hours – you are bound to see results eventually.

I am not saying you should not do some reading and socializing since that can be quite important when you lock yourself in your apartment and don’t mix with people who are distracting your from your goals. But just don’t count that in your five hours of work: that won’t help you if you need money for rent.

Dammit, I knew I should’ve stopped reading those comments… So first of all, hey to you Phil, just read a ton of this blog- normally I would’ve read the entire thing but I’m trying to take the advice that I should stop doing that to heart, so I only read about two of your posts between articles. Great stuff; I feel like I should know most of this stuff already but there seems to be more to learn every time someone else posts. I thought I knew everything from Grizzly, then Ben of course turned my world upside down with some of his methods, and now you’ve got even more little ideas rattling around in my head!

It’s kind of funny though, but when you broke it down into 250 hours of work, it sounds kind of small. I was just thinking how easy it would actually be to do 5 hours of work a day for 50 days straight- maybe take off a week and make it 57. But that’s neither here nor there; great post man, and great blog over all. Good luck to you on your money making ventures!

I am currently living very cheap, and actually this apartment is better than you would normally get with this price. I am fed up with my dayjob that is totally eating up my productivity. Although I need more money to be able to quit, since my girlfriend is not working for the next three months because she has to focus on her studies. That basically causes me to support the “family” and for that my still quite modest online income is not enough. If I could be pounding 5k in a month I would basically making more than I would with any education in the first years of working. I just need to build up a more specific plan on how to get there. I will be throwing a bunch of links at you both since you are a force that keeps me going especially you Ben. There is something in reading about you making it happen so fast, and if I am able to put in half the work you did then in six months I am probably making a lot more…

Haha, thanks for the links! I did move into a new apartment — but trust me, I am still living getto style in a getto apartment, driving a getto car (that just stopped working). I’m now having to take the public transit lol. You could never tell I was making 5K+ a month + my job wages. Right now, all my online earnings do not exist in my daily life — pumping it all back into outsourcing, buying domains, getting backlinks and buying 2k domain names. My pace slowed down this past month though, probably got 40% done of what I normally do — social obligations, etc. Going to try and bring it back up this month though, I’ve way behind on my work.

Yeah. Sometimes when you are targeting specific keywords you don’t necessarily find the inspiration to really write too much on the subject. This was mostly targeted to people who wanting to have an alternative method of paying their rent a year (or two) from now LOL.

thanks for the link – yes I would say if you need money now for the rent money you really need to look at your options – building autority or niche sites is great but getting a job with the man that pays may be a better option if you need money to pay the rent this week or even the rent next month!
