How you can start making $500-$1000/month on autopilot via wordpress blogging

Hi,

I noticed one thing that has become quite popular is blogging, and many people like the 'basic' monetization (blogging) so thought I would give a relatively simple formula to those want to get started 'quickly'.

This strategy uses adsense, but just so you know, if you want to make the 'real' cash, you should expand upon this. (Adsense is a beginner step to true monetization). But anyways.

1. Get a web host, and ideally 5-10 domains. This strategy does require an initial investment of $100-$200 (and you can even get it for less if you shop around). But this is your 'seed' money.
2. Set up wordpress on all 5-10 domains. (or hire someone to do so through an outsourcing site for $25-$50).
3. Set up an account with google adsense if you haven't already.
4. Either write a set of 50 articles yourself, or hire someone to do so.
5. Add a 'ping' list to your wordpress account. (Simply search in google for stuff like 'best ping list').
6. Post & publish the articles on each wordpress site so they 'drip' (i.e., they 'automatically' publish gradually over the course of say 30 days). Make sure the articles are in different orders (so say on website #1 you might publish #1, #2, #3, etc, etc... while on website #2, you publish in order #50, #49, #48, ... etc).
7. While not super sexy, you'll probably find you start making $1-$2/day on each website in adsense revenue.
8. Do the math, 10 sites * $1/day * 30 days = $300/month. If it's $2, then $600/month.

Total time & money invested assuming you did everything yourself (i.e., including you understand wordpress installs & do the article writing)... probably about 20-40 hours. (I.e., 1 weeks work). If you know how to outsource, about 5 hours. Nice monthly income after that -- $500/month.

Not the sexiest in the world, but it works. And with the $500+ you generate in seed money, you can use it to either expand upon this strategy, or buy useful marketing products to learn how to expand your business further.

EDIT #1. Make sure you have your domain name & articles related, and that it is for a particular niche. I.e., if you are talking about weight loss, make sure your articles are about various diet programs and/or related weight loss techniques, etc. That will help ensure you maximize your clicks. If you want to take it a step further, you can, of course, do more detailed keyword research with the google keyword tool, wordtracker, etc, etc, and check out the competition (i.e., via ezine articles) to see which articles rank the highest.

EDIT #2: I appreciate the feedback some people have provided. Apparently, while this method has not worked for everyone, it has actually worked for me. I picked a random domain name (no keyword relevance whatsoever), placed a random bunch of articles on it (totally un-related, loosely themed), and have actually had success with adsense as well as other forms of advertising on it... So, of course you are welcome to try this yourself and see what kind of success you achieve.


Anyways, good luck!
