Month 2 – Update: I started this content site based on other successful stories about low competition keywords. More importantly rank on page 1 of google without any form of backlinking.
My Goals for Month 2 (October 2021) were:
- Optimize articles for better rankings.
- Build more internal links.
- Look for ways to increase the page speed for mobile devices.
- Publish at least 34 more articles for the month of October 2021.
My Results for October 2021:
I managed to publish 15 articles (way under the initial 34 planned) bringing the total number of published articles to 37.
I must admit that I got side tracked by other projects and my regular job. That’s one of the challenges of working on a side hustle.
You have to burn many midnight oil to reach your goals.

I am not expecting any revenue for the first 6 months or at least not until i have a decent traffic coming to the site.
I optimized few articles that were getting impressions to increase their ranking. I will see the results on Month 3 (November 2021).
Traffic:
I had 395 impressions, 7 clicks and 21 unique visitors. Nothing to here to brad about. I was expecting this anyway for a new site. I need to keep publishing articles. Optimizing and see what takes off.
All the key indicators are on the upward trends: impressions 2233.8% increase, clicks 133.3% increase and 133.3 increase in unique visitors.
