I have partner in Germany to thank for that for the most part) 18 hour days between the two of us for months on end AND lots of reading. tweaking, changing.. Bottom line and my point. I got my whale by luck. but I get loads of sign ups with SEO. Next month we start to hire people in India – Not sure. Partner handle all that.
Stick with it! Work hard.. It takes some major stick-to-it-ness…
This is some great advice and words to live by. You have to put in the work, forget about the first player now focus on the next 10! I started in this industry back in 1999 and for the first three years did not see a penny of profit, I was an operator at the time and towards the end had no money to advertise so I hired a 22 year old kid in Jan 2001 who promised me that SEO and PPC was the only way to go.
Within 8 months we had built over 200 Sports Listing sites, were link farming, dominated in every conceivable sports search term, dominated in PPC and when the football season opened in Sept 2001 we were killing it 50-100 new players a day. 2002 Google changed its algorithm and 7995 went into effect, I lost the farm and it was time to change direction.
Keep on keepin on, put in the time, do the research and reach out to Affiliates in your community for suggestions and advice there is still plenty of money to be made in this industry!
