To start off with my goal is clear and attainable. My current situation is this; I run a few small niche sites and average around $120 a day profit, so I am looking for over 2000% growth.
Here are the rules:
1) Within one year of the site going live (< 2.5 months) I want to hit this
2) I will not give up
3) It will be with a brand new domain and site
4) I am starting with just over $5,000 (however, more may be added if the checks lag behind too much, but that will be accounted for).
5) It will use affiliate programs as well as AdSense
Here is what has already been done:
1) 1 link from a previous site has been pointed to some placeholder content, google has indexed the site with no title, I may add some more links soon
2) Site design has been outsourced, almost complete
3) An outsourced programmer has been confirmed for the CMS
4) An LLC has been formed for the company
5) 10 contractors have been hired to write continuous content
Here is the timeline:
1) Design done within another week
2) Programmed and ready to go live within 2.5 months from now
Expectations:
1) I imagine I will need a few million impressions per month to obtain this, but I want to be at this level within 1 year
2) I might have to hire a full time programmer and a few content writers along the way
I am sure a lot of other unexpected things will happen along the way, but just wanted to make an initial post much like rfungs, I will next update when the site is completed.
Wish me luck.
P.S. Multiply my daily goal by 365 ;-). I may not respond to PMs, don’t be offended, I’m just busy.
Next target - help as many others as I can to reach the same target.
I'm still toiling away in the multi-hundred dollar a day fifth level of hell. If I could ever, ever get to the ninth level three thousand dollar a day hell, I would kiss the ground and be grateful for the rest of my days. Actually, everything lurking in the distance looks like a good bet especially when it has money tied around it.
The pursuit of happiness is driving me crazy.
Next target - help as many others as I can to reach the same target.For the month of April. My average profit per day is $1,850 for the first 27 days. I'm 68% there. So obviously you're doing something right Mike! ;)
I agree with ya Richard, I have increased my daily profits by a hundred fold compared to last month's(single digits to triple digits).

Great stuff isn't it? If you think about it. Making $500 per day puts you in a class that only a few people in the world are in.
Me, you Veroxii, we're all proof the Mike knows what he's talking about, and has taught us how to do it the right way!
Holy crap Michael. That's amazing. Seeing as you are from the UK as well has really given me a boost, knowing that the big money can be achieved by those outside of the USA too.

I saw this thread from day 1 but I hate the title "...$2739.726 per day is possible", so I hasn't read until today. It has 17 pages, now. After reading davewray's message on page 2, I just jumped here to post a message.

If you get 60,000 page views per day from contextual advertising and Adwords you'll make $6000 per day gross. Let's say half of that covers advertising..$3000.
That means you can make about $50/1000 page views in profit. I currently make a profit of $60 per 1000 page views.
And this is his recommendation:
I don't believe that building this site will be your biggest job...your biggest job will be finding the thousands of targetted keywords to bid on to create this profit.
This is my biggest challenge so far. How to find traffics that can maintain this profit/cost ratio. Note that this is the month which I predicted four months ago my earning would reach four digits a month. My current net earning is still in the range of three digits a day without improving in traffics. I just do this AM at average an hour a day.
