I’m starting another new website, but this time I’m going to build it up to a full-time income in just 1 year! And if I don’t…? Well, let’s just say I need to do some cardio just in case. My goal with this project is to give you something you can follow along with and show you what’s possible with a blog! I hope you’ll join me on this journey. Project 24 is our membership program that teaches you how to work toward replacing your current income with income from websites and YouTube channels in 24 months. Have you seen us on Instagram yet? Add us to see what we’re doing behind the scenes: @income.school. Project 24 is a product of Income School LLC. Results mentioned are not typical. The trademark “Project 24” refers to the goal of some people to create a successful business in 24 months, but is not a promise or guarantee of that success. Many online businesses fail because, like any business, it requires hard work, skill, and dedication. Before making business decisions, consult financial and legal professionals licensed in your jurisdiction.
We and our members have proven over and over that we can build a blog to a full-time income in two years, but now I’m about to do it in one. However, this is not going to be easy. Google’s been shaking things up, and AI is trying to replace bloggers. I’m not sure that I’m going to be able to do this. Last year, I told you how I’d go about getting to four thousand dollars a month on a blog, cutting our normal time in half. But this year, I’m not just going to show you how I would do it, I’m going to show you how I am doing it. So here are the rules of the challenge. First of all, I have to build a site to at least four thousand dollars in a single month, okay? I also don’t get to reveal this site to you, to any of my existing audience. I have to build it organically or it really wouldn’t be a fair challenge. Now, any comments that I see that reveal the site, if anybody out there finds it on their own, those are going to get deleted from our videos, and we’re gonna have to block you from commenting anywhere else on the channel. So you can say goodbye to any future comment contest winnings. Now, if I don’t make it, then obviously I get the shame of failing publicly. My team and even my wife don’t think that’s good enough, so here’s the deal: for every hundred dollars below the four thousand dollar goal, I’m going to have to run a mile. It means I could easily end up having to run a marathon, so um, I better get training, you know, just in case.

Challenge Details
Goal and target income
The challenge is to build a website that generates a minimum of $4,000 in a single month. This target income reflects the $133 per day goal set for the project.
Google’s AI impact
The blogging industry is constantly evolving, and Google’s artificial intelligence is shaking things up. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to achieve success in the online space, making this challenge even more thrilling.
Keeping the site a secret
To ensure a fair challenge, the blogger is not allowed to reveal the website to their existing audience. The website must be built organically, gaining traction solely through search engine optimization and other marketing efforts.
Penalties for revealing the site
Any comments or actions that reveal the site’s identity will result in those comments being deleted, and users may be blocked from further commenting on the channel. This strict approach is necessary to maintain the integrity of the challenge.
Content creation timeline
To achieve the content volume required for success, the blogger must write a minimum of 170 blog posts within the first three months of the challenge. This front-loading of content ensures ample time for indexing, ranking, and monetization.
Importance of search analysis
Search analysis is a crucial step in identifying the search queries that potential readers are typing into Google. By creating content that answers these questions, the website can gain higher visibility and attract relevant traffic.
Outsourcing work
To meet the demanding content creation timeline, the blogger plans to outsource some of the writing work to experienced writers. However, it’s crucial to ensure the quality of outsourced content and maintain cohesive branding and standards.
Monetization Strategy
Promoting products through affiliate marketing
From the very beginning, the blogger will focus on promoting relevant products through affiliate marketing. This strategy allows them to earn a commission for every sale generated through their website.
Consideration of advertisements
After a few months and once the website reaches a minimum of 1,000 page views per month, the blogger will explore the possibility of incorporating advertisements. This additional revenue stream can significantly contribute to the income goal.
Potential for selling info products
If needed to reach the income goal, the blogger may consider developing and selling informational products. This avenue provides an opportunity to leverage their expertise and offer valuable resources to their audience.
Increasing Visibility and Influence
Participating in online communities
To increase visibility and engage with the target audience, the blogger plans to actively participate in relevant online communities, such as Facebook groups, subreddits, and Q&A platforms. This involvement will allow them to connect with like-minded individuals, share expertise, and build a loyal following.
Getting interviewed on podcasts
By seeking opportunities to be interviewed on podcasts, the blogger aims to enhance their credibility and expand their reach. Podcast interviews offer a platform to share insights, provide value to listeners, and establish themselves as an authority in their niche.
Building a professional website
Building a professional and visually appealing website is crucial to leave a lasting impression on visitors. By focusing on high-quality content, user experience, and aesthetics, the blogger can create a website that resonates with their target audience.
Importance of EAT (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness)
Building expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness in the eyes of search engines like Google is vital for success. The blogger will prioritize creating valuable and accurate content, citing reliable sources, and leveraging their expertise to establish themselves as a trusted source of information.
Interview with an SEO expert
To gain further insights into search engine optimization strategies and factors that impact EAT, the blogger plans to interview an SEO expert. This interview will provide valuable advice and actionable steps to improve the website’s visibility and authority.
Building a Community
Creating an email newsletter
Building an email newsletter allows the blogger to establish direct communication with their audience. By providing valuable content, exclusive offers, and updates, they can nurture their subscribers and strengthen their relationship.
Setting up a Facebook group
A Facebook group serves as a platform for community engagement, discussions, and networking opportunities. By creating a space dedicated to their niche, the blogger can foster a strong community and further establish their authority.
Experimentation and New Strategies
Openness to trying new approaches
Throughout the challenge, the blogger remains open to experimentation and willing to try new strategies. The ever-changing landscape of online business requires adaptability and a willingness to explore innovative avenues.
Progress Updates
Updating progress on incomeschool.com
To keep viewers informed and engaged, the blogger will regularly update their progress and results on a dedicated page on incomeschool.com. This transparency creates accountability and allows the audience to follow along with the journey.
Conclusion
At the end of the 12-month period, the blogger plans to unveil the website’s success or failure. Whether the income goal of $133 per day is achieved or not, this challenge provides valuable insights, learnings, and inspiration for aspiring bloggers and online entrepreneurs. Stay tuned for updates, strategies, and an exciting journey ahead!
