To prove a simple point (and to make some easy extra money for myself), I decided get in to the content websites monetized by adsense business. I chose this aspect of IM because it is a really simple, fundamental marketing method that anyone can work on and succeed with. All of the websites are just simple pages with minimal content along with some adsense ads. If you were to create them yourself, it would probably take you no longer than an hour to do each one. The point that I am trying to prove with this is that anyone can make money online without having to do any of the work (all of the actual work can be outsourced). I did absolutely none of the required work myself, the websites were created by various workers (who also did the keyword research) and all the SEO work was done by a small SEO team. All I did was buy the domains/hosting and provide my adsense codes to the people creating the websites. It has taken a few months of waiting for the websites to rank well but I have finally hit the $100/day mark with adsense and it continues to grow as time goes on! ![]() This money is all made on total autopilot, I have not touched any of the websites at all since they were created ![]() Hopefully this inspires some of you who are feeling like it is impossible to make money online. Don't let a lack of knowledge stop you, if you don't know how to do something and don't want to spend the time to learn how to do it, pay someone else to do it for you! You don't need any experience to do what I have done here, all you need is a bit of money to start off with to pay your workers. P.S. Please don't PM or ask me about the details of the websites (like how the keywords were picked) because I honestly have no idea! I would assume they would have used a keyword tool like Market Samurai but I am not sure. The workers that I hired did all of that work for me and I just trusted that they would do a good job so I didn't ask them for the details |

Andrew, Interesting. Could I ask how many web sites did (does) it take to hit the $100 a day mark? Thanks. Joe Mobley |

That averages out to be just under $4/day from each website.

I'm concentrating on adsense the last time, and this looks interesting! Can you PM me where you outsourced the article writing for your websites? How long are the articles? Thank you William |

| Hi William, I did not buy the articles separately, they were included in the website creation price. There are 2 articles per website and each one is 2-3 paragraphs long. I won't say exactly who my workers were but all of my workers were found here on the Warrior Forum.

Although niche sites are very good, I think authority sites are great. Maintaining 40 sites compared to 5 authority sites makes difference. I would go with authority sites. You said that you are paying someone else to do these for me? Then this method is not for people who want to start from scratch without any start-up fund.. thanks anyway and congratulations..

None of the sites have required any extra work after they were made! Having 100 of these websites will require the same amount of effort from me as having 5.If you do not have enough money to outsource the tasks then they can be done quite easily by yourself (as long as you have the time to put in to it) I simply had better things to do with my time which is why I outsourced everything!

If that's the case, the recurring costs are pretty minimal as the bulk of the expenses would be renewing the 40 domains, which would cost approximately $400 per year. Hosting fees would be even less, so expenses aren't really a major factor especially when these sites should generate well over $30,000 in 12 months, if this income holds up. How much do you estimate that you paid your workers in total to set up these 40 Adsense sites? Paul | |

I would think the highest cost involved here is having the sites developed, If I remember right he said he outsourced that as well. | |

Yes, once they are set up and have a good ranking then there is absolutely no extra work needed as all the traffic is organic. They are all in small, unsaturated niches so keeping a high ranking will not be a problem since there is so little competition ![]() At $150/day (which is what I predict that they should generate once the last few sites rank a bit higher on Google), they should make around $55,000/year which will increase as I expand and have more websites built. The only upkeep cost for the 40 websites is about $550/year for the domains and hosting. Each website cost me around $80 to have made (including all SEO work) so the ROI is huge. I thought about flipping them for a nice big instant payout but I don't really need the money right now so would prefer to just have the passive income over time | |

Adsense is where I started a few years ago, and I have to admit that I still have 15 sites, or around there, that are paying a small sum daily. However, I have to admit that for the complete newbie there is the problem of knowing exactly what it is that you are outsourcing? Site creation, article creation, article submission, backlinks etc... Don't get me wrong, I completely agree that this method is useful and can make just about anyone money on autopilot once the groundwork has been done. |

The average for all of them came to just over $80 per website. The guys who built my websites were different to the SEO group that I used. The price for website creation was always fixed but SEO varied a bit. The only catch is that it does take a few months for the websites to become indexed and ranked in a decent position before they start earning consistently. Quote:
I started by having a website created and then asking the SEO group how much it would cost to get that website to position #1-3. Once they came up with a quote for that website, it gave me an idea of the costs so I just made a deal with them to work long term on bulk websites. The idea with outsourcing is to hire people who know what they are doing so all of the guesswork at the start is eliminated Someone who is good at SEO will normally be able to tell you exactly what a website needs in order to get a decent ranking by looking at the competing websites.

This sort of success story is the reason I started reading up on IM. Must be amazing to have that coming in with no more work needed. Your sig says you make $700/day, what other types of sites do you have? |

I actually wasn't expecting such good results from these adsense websites, they were just an experiment that turned out to work quite well ![]() Most of the money I make through IM comes from other sources. This was just a random experiment that caught my interest so I decided to give it a go. I am hoping to scale it up so it makes a lot more money, $150/day is not enough!! | |

Once I bought the domains and added them to my hosting account - my work was complete I gave my workers access to the hosting account so they could upload the websites and do it all themselves. I guess you could say that it is a lot of work and organization for my workers but that is why I am paying them | |

| Hi, as I mentioned earlier, the SEO cost varied for each website as some needed more work than others. The total cost per website including all the SEO work averaged out at around $80.

| I guarantee you that I will not make a WSO based on this There are already a bunch of WSOs that are focused on making money with adsense so there is no need for another one from me too! All the information that you need is right here in this thread: 1. Build a basic content website or have one built for you. 2. Do some SEO or have someone else do the SEO for you. 3. Wait for the websites to become indexed and ranked highly amongst the search engines. 4. Enjoy the passive income! |

Inspiring post here. I have been thinking about attempting something of this nature. I am hoping that I would be able to generate enough income to free up time to pursue other avenues of income. The elusive $100 a day would make life a bit less stressful.

Hey Andrew, glad to hear stories like this. Just curious. Are these mostly one-page sites? Are some of them (fairly) closely related, or are they totally different? |

| Hi Hali, they are mostly 1 page websites with just a few hundred words of content. None of them are really related at all, they are all targeting different topics/products.

Won't you have to keep paying the workers to keep the rankings? Rankings will fall over time unless you keep adding quality backlinks.
