The $10 Million Dollar Goal

[AndrewPavelski]

I have created a "Make Money Online" blog @ AndrewPavelski.Com | Make Money and would love it if you would become part of the journey. Along the way, you will gain access to valuable monetizing strategies, stay up to date on the latest blogging trends, and be able to see how I am able to generate $10 Million Dollars!

Here is the contents of my $10 Million Dollar Goal Page:

How will I possibly make $10 Million Dollars?

* By Placing Advertisements on the Site (i.e. Ad-Sense, Kontera, Bidvertiser, Text Link Ads, etc.)

* Via Affiliate Programs

* By Writing Paid Reviews (through “ReviewMe”) - After I build up a decent reader base, I will write paid reviews to help promote companies and earn money

* Heavy Promotion (Social networking, guest posting, buying advertisements, having blog contests)

* By writing content that is valuable to others - If I find something that I think will help out my readers and give them ‘the edge’ on other blogs, I write an article about it. If I find great plugins, traffic generating tactics, or a valuable monetizing technique, I write a quality article about it. I will be openly posting about my progress, current plans of action, and how I plan to bridge the gap between my current status and The $10 Million Dollar goal!

* By having an attractive website theme & layout - Take a look at John Chow’s blog, or even John Cow’s blog! What do they have in common besides a large reader base? They have great Wordpress theme designs that are part of the reason people keep returning.

What will you gain by becoming a loyal follower of this blog?

* Intelligent and effective techniques to help make you money off of your website or blog

* Successful insider affiliate marketing knowledge

* Tips that will get your blog more exposure

* Information about the starting, running, and managing of a high-quality blog

Why do I deserve $10 Million Dollars?

* Because I am willing to put in the work to make $10 Million Dollars, it’s as simple as that! Think about it, let it sink in… Most people have an opportunity to make $10 Million Dollars, yet few actually put forth the necessary effort.

* Because I want to prove to myself that earning a large amount of money online is possible!

* Because I want to prove to the world that earning a large amount of money online is possible!

TO ALL FIRST TIME VISITORS:

In order to get The $10 Million Dollar Website ™ to be worth $10 Million Dollars, I need YOUR help! I encourage you to join me in my rather bold quest to make this site worth $10 Million Dollars! If you are a first time visitor, I highly recommend reading The Birth Of A $10 Million Dollar Website™ post to see how this site was born!

Each day, I commit to become more knowledgeable in the art of blogging, internet marketing, and affiliate sales. Starting out with just a $10 dollar domain name and $4.95 dollar a month hosting via Hostmosnter, I made a commitment to myself to create The $10 Million Dollar Website ™. In my Blog section, you can follow my progress and check out my current plans, strategies, and highly helpful blogging tips. I find my goal to make $10 million off of this blog to be highly challenging and exciting! I am open to and appreciate any suggestions and guidance towards reaching my final goal. Each month I will post how much money I made and how I made it! Hopefully I will be able to implement some graphs to chart my progression towards my final destination! I will not shut down this website until I reach 10 million dollars (so it may take a little time before this baby is off the web …) I encourage you to to join my RSS Feed and join me on my rather bold quest if you haven’t already!

Sincerely,

Andrew Pavelski

Hi Andrew

First off good luck with this venture, I hope it pays off for you.

I really like the layout of your site, has a nice professional look to it. I'll definitely be following your progress closely.

I've also had a few ideas which I will hopefully start work on later this year once I've planned everything out a bit better - So I'm looking forward to seeing how that works out for me.

Also, will you be charting your revenue/income progress for us visitors to see how you're getting along?

[AndrewPavelski]

Hi Gsus,

It's great to know that you will be following along with my progress. I'm also glad you enjoy the 'professional looking' layout.

Yes, I hope to chart my monthly progress with graphing software for my visitors to see. If I cannot find any quality software to chart my income, I will write it in text. I will write on the first day of each month pertaining how much money I've made towards the $10 Million dollar goal and my tactics used to make that money.

I wish you the best of luck with your own ideas!

Regards,

Andrew

Andrew...Good Luck! I applaud your ambition. I'm a relatively new blogger as well and have enjoyed reading your posts.

Your blog is decent as well. It's a little crowded and yells (BUY ME!!)..but perhaps that's the point. Take a look at my site. I'm more subdued...that could be good or bad. I assume it depends on your audience. Since you are instructing people on how to make money, practice what you preach I guess

Keep up the good work and good luck!!

* By Writing Paid Reviews (through “ReviewMe”) - After I build up a decent reader base, I will write paid reviews to help promote companies and earn money

That doesn't sound like your target is $10 Million. Paid Reviews just don't provide that kind of money.

Having a goal means as much of doing the right things as not doing the wrong things that aren't in line with your goal.

[AndrewPavelski]

Yes, my site is a bit crowded and I'm still in the process of tweaking the layout a bit...

I appreciate your compliments and thank you for sharing your opinions.

I did check out your site and especially enjoy the header image....(nice touch). I wish you success w/ your blog!

Best wishes,

Andrew

Hello Brutha,

Paid reviews will most likely generate extra income as I journey towards my goal. I definitely don't expect them to make the majority of my money. I am, however, going to see how much I can make by writing paid reviews.

I definitely agree that having a goal means doing the "right things that are aligned with my goal!" I am interested as to why you think that paid reviews are ineffective.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts,

Andrew

Hi Andrew

I am interested to know more about your goal:

Is your goal to make $10 million Dollars, or to make $10 million dollars from your website and nothing else?

By the end of the goal, do you want a lump sum of $10,000,000 or do you want to generate $10 million dollars from your website, regardless of how much you have at the end?

Is it $10 Million US Dollars?

Cant wait to hear more!

[Brutha]

Paid reviews will most likely generate extra income as I journey towards my goal.

You should be aware of making the trade of lowering your blog quality for a bit money.

I definitely don't expect them to make the majority of my money. I am, however, going to see how much I can make by writing paid reviews.

Than it doesn't seem that the goal of that action is generating the 10 million $ but seeing how much money I can make using reviews.

I definitely agree that having a goal means doing the "right things that are aligned with my goal!" I am interested as to why you think that paid reviews are ineffective.

Either you think that you can get to your goal with them or they are ineffected as measured by your goal.

Making a goal and persuing it isn't the only possible thing you can do, most blogs don't have an income goal like this.
On the other hand setting a goal like this and not persuing it is inauthentic. Being inauthentic is the worst thing that you can be as a blogger.

[AndrewPavelski]

I am aware. What makes you think paid reviews "lower blog quality?" I appreciate you sharing your thoughts about paid reviews. I agree with your opinions... Which is why I have been persuing my goal!

Best wishes,

Andrew

Most paid reviews posts I read (which doesn't happen often because I don't subscribe to a blog that does that amoung the ~100 blogs that I subscribe to), are low quality.
I usually want to read about ideas. A blog about product xy from company xz often doesn't do that task.
Most of the time you will be able to write good post when you are inspired and have something to say.

[Kevin Givens]

What makes you think paid reviews "lower blog quality?"

IMO, what Brutha is saying is that the main focus of your blog should be in providing value to your readers. By focusing on product and site reviews because you are getting paid, and not because it's something that will benefit your readership, could hurt your creditability.

I stumbled on to one blog where the author did a paid review for a product that was either, contrary to her message, or was just a bad product. In either case, her readers caught it and gave her a lot of flack about it.

On the flip side, I think if you focus on only doing paid reviews for something you would want to genuinely endorse and that compliments your message of making money online, it could very worthwhile.

The same could be said of affiliate products. If you're endorsing a Money Making Course just because it has a high commission and it turns out to be junk, your readers will quickly lose trust and go elsewhere.

I think the main thing is remembering what's most important; your readers. Create something entertaining and informative and the money will come.

I believe you have neat idea and look forward to reading about your progress. I have a similar site I'm starting. But my goal is only a million dollars.

Good luck with the new venture!

Kevin

Hi Brutha, I appreciate your comments and really enjoyed hearing your point of view on "paid reviews." I also agree with what you said:

A blog about product xy from company xz often doesn't do that task.
Most of the time you will be able to write good post when you are inspired and have something to say.

Kevin -- very well-stated post. If I choose to endorse a quality product that helps make the website money AND a product which my readers can benefit from, "Paid Reviews" could definitely prove to be useful. I wish you luck with your site and look forward to having you follow my progress.

Thank-you both!

Best wishes,

Andrew

Hello ChaosKiwi,

My goal is to make $10 Million Dollars exclusively via my website. By the end of the goal, I will have made $10 Million (U.S.) Dollars from JUST my website.

Thank you for your interest,

Andrew

Andrew,

setting a goal is best you can do, but... here is the catch... if you think even remotely earning even 1$US millions p.a. you better start being your self!

by stating: i will make $10 million dollars by this website alone you make a mock of your self and visitors perceive you as a sham

now if you really want to make $10 million then start with your blog and after you have some money in the bank start affiliate marketing, best motivational site i can think of is: uberaffiliate.com, superaffiliatemindset.com and best proof what a commited affiliate marketer can do is at: My Bank Statement - Monthly Earnings from AM - SitePoint Forums

Kieron's(UKoffer) blog is: here.org.uk

Best of luck!

[AndrewPavelski]

Why I stated "I will earn $10 Million Dollars": Stating "I will" -- signifies that it "will" happen. Stating "I hope" or "I might" signifies that there's a chance for me to reach my goal, but that there's doubt lingering in the back of my mind. I want to eliminate all self-doubt that could cross between me and my goals... hence: "I will..."

Being myself? I've already been doing that Great advice!

Thank you for your comments and recommendations Mayo.

I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and perspective,

Andrew
