What's up, guys. I just joined the Fastlane INSIDERS and figured I would make a really in-depth progress thread, not only to keep myself accountable, but to help everyone here as well.
If you don't know my story, take a look at the post I previously made, entitled:
"Everything I Learned Blogging From $0 to $15k/month"
Basically as of now, I run a blog that averages about $5k/month, with occasional spikes if I'm doing a product launch or something of that nature.
I want to accomplish many goals in 2019, however, my main goal is to earn $15k/month in gross income, on a consistent basis.
As I said before, my income is sporadic. I do a product launch and get $15k, but if I don't keep re-launching products, my income tapers off down to the $4-6k range. I want to be earning $15k/month with a high level of predictability, by July 31st this year.
Here are my income metrics:

Here are my income metrics:
- Earn about $3-4k from digital product sales each month PASSIVELY
- Earn another $1k from affiliate advertising each month PASSIVELY
- Earn another $500-1k from coaching clients each month PASSIVELY
- Getting about 2,000 uniques per day via SEO free traffic
- Have about 3,100 highly responsive people on my email list
- Have about 1,500 subscribers to my push notifications
- Have about 850 subscribers on YouTube
- 3x My Organic SEO Traffic (from 2,000 to 6,000)
- 3x My EPC (from $.60 to $1.80)
- 3x My CTR (from 1.5% to 4.5%)
- 3x My Email List (from 3,100 to 9,300)
- 3x My Subscribers to Push Notifications (from 1,500 to 4,500)
- 3x My Subscribers on YouTube (from 850 to 2,550)
- An old buddy of mine just reached out, wanting to build a HUGE news website (with 3 million likes on our Facebook page). If I could write for him part-time, this could easily allow me to pour an extra $2k/month into my blog and grow it
- The same guy also wants my help building a bodybuilding website, which when it happens, will drastically improve the SEO of my blog, since I'll be giving it backlinks
- I have a list of 15 vetted coaching clients, who all are willing to invest $300/month or more in coaching with me. I plan to leverage this as well.
- Triple down on the time I'm spending getting high quality backlinks to critical posts that lead to a high conversion rate. Specifically get backlinks for the posts which are providing me with 80% of the clients, product sales, and affiliate sales.
- Focus on automation. I'm currently split-testing an email campaign sequence, that takes about 6 months to fully complete. I will compare the metrics to my previous campaign and make alterations to improve open rate and CTR.
- Release an eBook on Amazon, to finally have a lower end product. So far, the cheapest eBook I have has been $47, with the more expensive video courses ranging up to $497. Having a cheap, $9 eBook will lower the barrier to entry for many of my financially impoverished fans, which will improve sales overall.
- Triple down on creating YouTube videos. Put a highly engaging, short, sweet YouTube video out 5x/week answering a reader's question. This will boost my exposure, increase user engagement, and ultimately increase sales.
- Build the bodybuilding and news websites with my friend, so I can earn an extra $5k/6k per month, and then put some of it back into growing my blog. The SEO will also help drastically improve the supplement-related affiliate pages on my blog.
- Close 5-10 new clients on a monthly retainer. This will earn me an extra $3k/month, and it will feel great helping people get their lives in order.
