The most interesting part: you can follow along, step by step, as he takes this new project from idea, to implementation, to profitable online business.

I’ll share with you the techniques I use to…

• Select the niche market we’ll attack;
• The techniques used to generate targeted traffic to the website (both no cost, paid, conventional and unconventional);
• The methods used to convert that traffic into leads;
• The all important product development and creation process;
• Setting up a profitable affiliate program;
• And much more…

The market he’s selected for this project is “worm farming”. He explains the entire market selection process and tools he used to select this market.

Duncan plans in the next six to eight weeks to take this project from idea to a monthly income of approximately $2,000 per month.

Want to follow along, step by step? He’s setup a blog to record the entire history of this project — Worm Farming Project blog.
