Hey everyone, it's Tyrone Shum from Outsourcing Live and welcome to another month of the monthly
report. I'm going to be recording on August and I'm really excited to share with you what's
been happening. Since coming back from the wedding, I've just been focusing on the business
just trying a few different things and playing around with different stuff as well.
So what I want to jump into firstly is just to give you a quick update of what's been
happening in terms of the ranking and also the traffic for this blog and as you're probably
aware by now, the 90 day challenge is pretty much up and you might be wondering how did
I perform in regards to that. So let me just jump over there and show you right now. All
right so let's have a look firstly, I should probably jump over the ranking first. Let's
firstly look at the Market Samurai ranking and I got it updated on the last day of the
month and as you can probably see there's a few numbers and statistics and all that
si I'll just do a quick overview of it.
First things first, we jumped up to placing 12 which is on the second page still and it's
getting quite close to the first page but we did move up 4 places which is excellent
in my opinion and - you know, 4 places in the last month has been quite challenging
because all the other competitors have thousands and thousands backlinks and also have been
around for more than 3 months atleast you know. A lot of them might be around I think
at least 3 to 4 years, and my site's only been around for probably about really seriously
about 3 to 4 months or so. And we've been really ranking for that.
So unfortunately we didn't make the goal of being on the first page in the top 3 to 5
positions of Google but we did make it at least number 12 within 3 months so it's pretty
good for a very competitive term and regardless, I'm still going to be continually increasing
that and improving that and every month I'll be updating you with regards that and letting
you know what's happening.
Now, the other good thing is that I've noticed for our long-tail keywords everything sort
of started to go up like 'how to outsource' were on the first page now at number 8 so
I'd probably say in a few more - months time or few more weeks we'll probably increase
a little bit more and if we can get first place that'll be excellent. And it's even
got a PR 3 which surprised me as well. You know it's got a higher PR within my main page
which is PR 2. And there's quite a number of backlinks. And also too, the other great
thing is that our backlinking has also increased as well from 2500 up to 2796 so it's almost
300 backlinks from - or detected by Market Samurai from last month.
Now, let's have a look at some traffic statistics. Last month was the month of August. To be
honest, I didn't actually do too much content creation because I had already created both
for months July and also August when I was away and that was the whole preparation behind
that back in June because I intentionally had it all prepped before and basically my
team just posted all the content out.
So what happened was consistently we posted out 3 posts every month or 3 posts every week
and we received 4,560 visitors that came to our blog. And basically that in comparison
to entire last month, we actually increased by about 12%. I think we had 4,100 people
that visited our blog last month and this month has 4,560 and also too just to let you
know, I also - emailed less to the database. I'm trying to rely less on the database and
focusing more on organic traffic and also building traffic from other means as well.
And the reason behind that is because I actually want this blog to actually be more organic
and receive traffic from all different forms rather than me continually market it out to
my database because I'm pretty sure after a while, if I do it three times a well they'll
be sick of me. So that's the main reason and I plan to increase this.
Now, as a goal for to the end of the year, I'm just going to put this goal out there
is that my goal is to be able to double this traffic by the end of the year so hopefully
by December, I'll have it doubled. And just to make it easy and a round number, I'm going
to make it 10,000 visitors per month and if I can achieve that goal through organic traffic
like new traffic and also sometimes emailing to the database, I'm going to be very, very
happy with that kind of result. And also too I'm going to be doing a little bit more extra
work to connect with a few other bloggers in the blogosphere as well.
So that's my goal and that's one of the major goals I'll be aiming for December and as the
90 day challenge has been finished, I'm going to be setting new goals for that as well and
become monthly reporting goals. So that's something a little bit of an overview and
that's basically what's been happening over on the blog as well.
Now, the other thing that's interesting as well is - I have been intentionally trying
to as one of my goals to get some guest posting done and I was planning to send out 2 guest
posts this month. Unfortunately I didn't get around to it because I had actually a few
other things I'll be working and I've got another project that I'm currently working
on with a good friend of mine. So unfortunately didn't get chance to do that and that's just
bad accountability for me but in saying that, I had 3 interviews last month which works
out to be even better in my opinion because I'm not having to approach anyone, they approach
me.
And the 3 interviews that I actually got last month were from GettingStartedAsRealEstateAgent.com
from Duncan, and that interview was just asking me all about how to outsource and help with
real estate agents. Second interview was LearningWithLeslie and LearningWithLeslie is actually a friend
of mine who I've met back in Mastermind days with Yaro. And since then we've just kept
in contact.
Now, Leslie's - will be actually posting the podcast some time in September he's informed
me so there's no rush for me to be there but I know that with the interview, it's going
to definitely be helpful and a lot of people are going to be interested to that.
And then the other person that also interviewed me as well was from StoryView.me and his name
is Rob, Rob Pene and he interviewed me about outsourcing so from there there was also people
interested in having a look. And let me have a look to see if I've been posted - not as
yet. So I would probably assume that it's going to be up there some time and once it's
up there you know, I'll get traffic from that in September. But the good - that's good for
the three - for the months - for the month of July - month of August I should say that
I got 3 interviews and they'll probably take more into effect in September.
Now, jumping over, I just want to share with you just a few little stats in comparison.
And here we go. As I mentioned we had more backlinks for Outsourcing Live, increase was
about 12% there you go, there's comparison from July to August and Google ranking from
17 to 12 which was pretty good. And also Yahoo jumped out from 24 to 12. Now, being I don't
know what's going on it's about like 52 or something but it's moving up and not to worry
about that. But what I really just wanted to mention was I did actually work a little
bit more this month. I actually worked total 96 hours and averaging it was about 21 and
half hours for the whole - average week. But in saying that, I was pretty sick as well
last week so I'd been pretty much off and also too, some of the weeks I literally worked
like 10 hours, and then another week I worked 7 and another week I worked 30. So it's up
and down each week but you know, in saying that, I've been quite a bit of work to try
to increase and monetize our sites and increase and improve the traffic as well with my team.
Now, as I've mentioned to you a lot of my niche sites are managed and run by my virtual
assistant and I wanted just to share with you a quick thing that's been happening that's
been really good for our sites. They continue to build traffic and that's been fantastic
and we've moved rankings dramatically as well. And one site went up to 5th place as you can
see, next site went up to 4th place which was great you know, that's the one that's
generating quite a bit of traffic for us and also revenue. Another one jumped up as well
placing 11 from 17 so I was very happy with that. And then the last one had moved up nothing
actually so that's okay.
But what I want to just to let you know, I had some Adsense on a few of these sites and
Adsense actually increased by about 25% over the month so I'm very, very happy with that
and you know, we - I actually went out and purchased a book from Joel Comm called The
Adsense Code. I don't know if it's AdsenseCode.com and this was an excellent e-book that I purchased
- ah there you go. Yeah Adsense Code that I purchased from Joel Comm and by actually
reading through this book, I learned so much more about Adsense and how to improve it and
increase the click-throughs. And by doing that that's why my Adsense income also increased
by 25% from those niche sites that I have. So I definitely recommend if you do want to
actually check it out and download or get more information about it and buy this product
it's great. And you can buy on my affiliate link if you do so, it's just basically simple
Outsourcinglive.com/adsensecode I think it was that I created. And I just want to thank
you upfront if you did want to use that. And also too, hopefully it does help you with
regards to anything that you do because it's great for monetizing websites as well.
All right so I think that's pretty much it for this whole month. It's been very exciting
month for me because I have seen growth and that's really good from a blog that just started
3 months ago. The other thing I just want to let you know as well, I joined previously
as I mentioned and I promoted Corbett Barr's Traffic School program and I've been a little
bit more involved with that in the forums and also connecting with people and also learning
and I'm going to be applying a lot of the strategies that Traffic School teachers from
Corbett Barr. As you know, ThinkTraffic.net which is Corbett Barr's very popular site
is very, very - very valuable information that teach how to generate traffic. So I think
one of the goals for leading up to the end of the year, I want to actually increase the
traffic of this blog and also too to hit some new targets.
So just only looking at ranking, I want to actually increase the traffic that's coming
through from the different means I'll be talking about and also too to interact with the community
a lot more so I do encourage a lot more interaction for you to leave feedback, comments and stuff
like that on here and I definitely want to be interacting with you a lot more and answer
any of your questions and so forth.
So feel free to add anything down below, give me some comments on what you think, things
that you want to learn as well about outsourcing, I'll be more than happy to be able to put
a topic and put something together for you all.
All right so I really thank you very much for watching this today. It's been a real
pleasure to be able to share this with you and I'll keep adding this on every month because
I do want to keep acocuntable of my progress and I do want to share this with you so that
you can learn from me as well.
All right so if you have any further comments, any questions, feel free to leave it down
