Just read through your whole thread and it's a really inspiring read.I will definitely be following your story.
Thank you for the encouragement!Just read through your whole thread and it's a really inspiring read.I will definitely be following your story.
Now I have another website about to go live, this one is quite interesting, as it's sort of a drop shipping arrangement. The customer orders the item (mirror doors) pays for it and then the order should (we haven't written this bit and tested it yet!) go straight through to the factory to be made up and delivered, so completely and obsolutely automated. IF it works, I hope this is going to be my cash cow. Well I know the website will work, I just need to get enough traffic to it. I haven't built this one my self, the coding is too technical, so it's an investment in 4 figures, paid for by the youtube income, a bit nervous.....watch this space......
I'm going to sell mirror doors! The website is nearly ready now, just waiting for the worldpay plug in and we're off, the next job is to drive some traffic to it, that's not very easy, well not targeted traffic anyway.That's exciting, what products do you plan on selling on the drop shipping website?

Youtube is storming at the moment, September looks to be over £900 and October, we maybe over £1000, lets see #excited. However I haven't made any new videos in the last couple of weeks, and I must keep the momentum going
I was a bit dissapointed that the Instagram thread on here went no-where, I've joined Instagram and am getting some really good engagement, loads better than facebook, only I'm not sure how to convert it to money really, any ideas?
Good day everyone (or anyone who reads this)
So September was a storming month with a payment of £924 - thanks Google
Uploading of videos has slowed some what, and the daily value is dropping ever so slightly, so I need to keep up the incentive.
The new website is now live for the mirror doors, and I've had 1 sale so far, however that was some-one I directed to the site and not search engine traffic. I've got some-one coming to see me next week about seo, as Google hasn't even listed is yet. Overall I'm really pleased with it, quietly optimistic.
The birthday candle video is going viral nicely now with 2.5 million views to date, and a revenue in the last year since it was uploaded of >$1000 - so wish I could get them all to go viral!!
This video below is a gorgeous example of the brilliant people I've found on fiverr.com. The picture is from Pixabay (great site for creative commons images), the music is by a DJ and his 8 year old son did the voice over, and the animation is by my favorite animator who never charges me enough so I have to send him big tips after!
What do I do? Well I just bring it all together really, the idea is mine and I have the platform, but I can't do any of the clever stuff. All the collaborators get credit and links back.
If you have any ideas, bring them on....!
I will leave you today with Master Penguin
Thanks Jon, I've submitted it, so it's either not yet indexed or I did it wrong!all you have to do is submit your sitemap to Google
And then spend time building backlinks organically FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS MIRROR RELATED DON'T PAY FOR ANY 'QUICK' BACKLINK SOLUTIONS!
Ooo I didn't know about that one, I will do thank you. I'm posting loads at the moment though so will keep it selective. I keep liking your posts on Instagram tooYou're doing fantastic! You should pop your latest videos in the 'what have you posted lately' thread. I'm always browsing there and I'll give it a thumbs up etc too which hopefully helps a little on new videos!
Thanks Jon, I've submitted it, so it's either not yet indexed or I did it wrong!
Thank you for the reminder about the scammy back links. That caught me out in 2012 when I paid for some back links, I got penilized and it nearly bankrupt me when my website dropped from page 1 to 10, it never recovered, and it's taken me 5 years to make a come back! My hat is now whiter than white!
That would be great Jon, I will do that thank you, such a nice place thisIf it's not indexed yet don't worry, it just takes time
Ah yeah I remember you story about that from before.
It's crazy the things you see people advertise on fiverr regarding SEO.
I may take a good 6-12 months for your site to be where you want it to but it's better in the long run doing it organically.
If you want to write a guest post for TMS blog and include a backlink to your site you are more than welcome to btw
OK so I decided to set my self a challenge for November, no I'm not growing a moustache. I'm going to attempt to load 1 video a day for the whole month...and measure the effect. So my estimated YT income for October is $1277.
I've uploaded my first one today and have a couple of others in the pipeline, I'm not going to post each one here too, only the highlights!
Todays is however dadaaaaaaa....
This video cost $25. $20 for the illustration and animation and $5 for the voice over
Total spent for November $25
How do you go about finding these animators?
The ones i found are quoting far higher prices
