Hello (Future) Rich People,

I'm going to outline my strategy for internet business creation and you folks can critique it :)

I started with building a social sharing application. It's very simple - you can post text into a certain category, and you can rate the existing text. This method let's me solve list-information based problems (like compliments). Once I finished that I did the design and threw it up on realcompliments.com.

I'm approaching SEO in a modular way. I'm ranking each sub-category one-by-one until I have all of them at the top of Google. After that I'll work on the main keyword (assuming it isn't ranked already). Once I have 1000 visits/day I'll have enough traffic to do reasonably short-term split-tests. This'll let me build and improve the application and design to be more efficient.

At the same time I'm working on creating my own information products, which have a much higher priority.

Once I have a reasonably high conversion rate (from split tests etc.) and am comfortable with how well it's monetizing, I can scale out the application to 4-5 dating-related niches by copy-pasting it. I'll rank those the same way (category-by-category) using the existing power of my existing web properties to help them out.

At this stage I'll have 4-5 major, high-ranking websites in powerful dating niches. My main product will be on a central website with all of those other large website pointing at it, and all advertising on those sites will also be directed at this central site.

------

I'm working on the "marketing" aspect of this first, mostly due to my appreciation of the law of averages. If I have half a million people's attention every month, I have a lot more lee-way RPM-wise than when I only have 10,000 people's attention every month. At that point I can focus on building more valuable products rather than worrying about squeezing every penny out of the people who accidentally come to the website. Also, more traffic means more content on the site (since it's user-generated) and more natural backlinks. It gets more valuable the more content there is just because it filters best/worst etc., and the more content and votes there is the better value there is for the searcher.

Right now I'm working on SEO. I have #1 rankings for two of my categories, and the others are all gradually moving up and are all under rank 100 (and a lot of them are already #1 on Bing), other than the big, one-word keyword which is still #341. In total all main keywords I'm going for on that site represent about 70,000 exact monthly searches.

I don't really know what else to write right now :) Thoughts?
