Hey Lisa,

I know Rob from the Website Babble forum and Twitter. His story is amazing and so is he! He’s really a nice guy also. Thanks for sharing his story and it is very inspiring. He did an interview with Jordan @notaproblog in case anyone wants to hear more about him.

Hi Lisa!

this review was very interesting! 15 year old kid. *sigh*

I have a question if you don’t mind. I am a YouTube partner, too and I publish different German tutorial videos. Now I saw that you have actually two channels in one account.

Do you know if it’s possible to register new channels with the same partner accounts retrospectively? Would be great if you could help me out here.

Best regards from Germany

7 lisa January 25, 2010 at 9:17 pm: Yes you can. When you apply with the 2nd channel they ask you if you want to link it to another and you give them your username for the account that’s already approved. Happened to me with my 2 accounts.

Hi Lisa, I want to create my website with about 10 pages. I look at GoDaddy’s webhost, economy plan that has 10GB disk space and 300 GB bandwidth. Is that going to be enough? Thank you.

Pretty vulgar words for a young man to place on his website. At the bottom of his blogging-ecourse..His Disclaimer.

Hey Lisa, I really enjoyed your case study on Rob. He’s a very inspirational young man, he shows what hard work and dedication can accomplish.

WOW. That’s some impressive stuff.

I have been consistent with my blogging, and I have seen my traffic gradually increase.

It’s great to hear stories like this, because it’s proof that a method once done correctly and consistently over time will pay off in the end.

Thanks Lisa for bring Rob to my attention and thank you Rob for being a great example to others

I really need my teenage son to see this one! I’ve been trying to get him to use his talents as an artist to start his own blog, but it’s hard to keep him focused. Maybe this one will spark some new motivation.

Hi Lisa,

I think it’s very exiting , interesting , and exiting to see somebody that young get sucess on the web! I’m 11 years old , with my website I haven’t found a big amount of sucess but will of course keep trying. I have a weather themed website for people of New England. As you can imagine I have much more traffic on storm days!

Lisa, I’ve been researching other websites in my niche and they all seem to have about the same amount of traffic. I’ve been following their traffic for about a year now, and it hasn’t grown at all.

My question is, is it possible to enlarge a market? I mean, inspire more people to join my niche even though they may have no previous interest in my niche?

Right now the market is for the top 10 sites in my niche range from 47,000 to 75,000 visitors per month…and I am hoping to if possible to have double that…about 150,000 a month. It is not an over-saturated niche (even though you’d expect it to be).

I would like to know what you think before I waste anymore time building this site. I have been working on it off and on for a year and plan to put more man-hours into it so I can launch next month. But if the number of people interested in my topic is a variable that I have no control over…then please let me know. Thanks.

Wow! $4000 a month and just been online for 11 months thats amazing. hope I can achieve that kind of income with my website someday and be worthy of one of Lisa’s reviews.

This definately encouraged me.

Lisa hope your hand fully recovers, I miss the frequency of your blogs but fully understand why, I’m always eager to see what you will write about next and what other pearls of wisdom you will give us.

As a Christian I tap into my Faith In God and Pray that God will heal you and fully restore your hand as if it were brand new so that nothing will be able to hinder this wonderful work you are doing.

God bless you Lisa

Interviewing is a great idea, it seems. I am very shy by nature and have yet to approach anyone to interview yet for my blog. This is a great reminder for me in terms of what can work for my blog and website.

I was impressed with you and continue to be as I read this last article. How great of you to feature someone who is in the same niche as you. Go Lisa! I love it.

Thank you for the great case study that will be able to motivate some of us that are getting started online. It has been difficult for many to believe that you can make it online. With live example I think many will be able to believe in themselves that they will make it.

I think it is amazing that a guy this young is making a full time income while he is still in school. It kind of shows you where the future of entrepreneurship is headed.

I think we at the tip of the iceberg and its exciting to see that there are no barriers to being successful online if you have an open mind and a good work ethic.

Great Post Lisa

37 Ken February 18, 2010 at 2:02 pm Follow on Twitter: @Truckspector

I finally found time to watch the video of this case study. As usual, I picked up some useful tips. One of those tips has to do with Rob’s refusal to populate his site with Google ads, etc. I agree with that decision (although I have Google ads on my own website). Visitors can be overwhelmed by ads and become tired of searching for the “meat” of the website after navigating a sea of advertisements.

At present, I operate a local home inspection business with a website, and I’m slowly incorporating your (Lisa’s) ideas and advice into it…using the site as a guinea-pig of sorts. When I’m comfortable that I know enough about affiliate marketing, optimization and monetization to make a go of it, I’ll dive in with another site. Once again, thanks for the great learning tools that you feature here on your website and blog.
