No/Low Maintenance Strategies

Dear Forum members

I am looking for ways that are easy and quick to set up, and are low or no maintenance, so they are set and forget models, due to not having much time I can devote to IM, because of full time work, family etc.


I am not looking for the magical push 1 button make a million hypes, but rather something that actally works, like spend $10 on advertising THIS? and get $15 back in commission. I am happy spending money to drive traffic to offers as I do not have money problems as such.

What would you recommend please?

Many thanks
Valentin

    Maybe affiliate directly from paid advertising.

    Or

    AdSense sites and outsource everything.

      I suggest you get a paper round, or an evening job. That's the only way of earning extra money for only a few hours work.

      Succeeding at IM takes lots of work, dedication and many long hours. There is a lot to learn and, despite what some successful marketers will tell you, they have all worked their butts of 12 - 14 hours a day, week after week before they became successful.

        I'm so glad you put that out there! On so many pages that are trying to sell you programs on how to get rich quick, there is nothing said about how long it takes to get started. Sure, you can make lots on autopilot/low maintenance, but you need to get down and dirty and take action! once you get the ball rolling, I bet it will be much less work than in the beggining.

    I believe that constant action will get you something even that it is only 30 minutes day.
    I recommend you to take a look the free ebook "Secrets of Internet Business" to help you get started.

    Hope it helps. ^^

    You create a website that will be set it and forget it, but it takes time to build it to that point. You will have to devote at least 3 months of not expecting to get paid. Then, it starts to build and the maintenance is very minimum.

    There are ways to maximize the couple hours a day that you have available. I started this working a full time job. It still is going to take the consistency to do it every day even if you had the worst day at your job. But, if you just do it you make money.

    If you are looking to make decent money as quickly as I know how, then bum article market. If you just go out and find a buyers niche, something that has a lot of hungry buyers, you can easily make some good money with a little monotonous work. Write 10-20 articles a day and have them all point to a redirect or your affiliate site. Keep them short and catchy and it takes no time. Submit them to EZA and you will start to see sales coming very quickly.

    If you wanted to build this to the point where you don't have to keep submitting articles and there would be little maintenance, then you would direct them to your hub website.

    I started with that very method and learned how to build something that keeps the money coming in for good with no maintenance. It does take work though, but you can make a full time income easily if you do this 4-8 hours a day.

      Finally, how long did you spend writing 10-20 articles per day and for how many niches?
      I did do all my backlinking in the beginning. I actually did everything. I started with 0 up front money except enough for a domain and hosting account.

      There is a lot to do when starting a website from scratch, but I made sure to partition my time the best way I could imagine. I wrote down everything that needed to be done and chose the most important for the day. Backlinking was part of my every day activities, but did very little of it until I started making money.

      I focused on making money now so that I could put some money into the business. I did this with the bum article marketing method of writing that many articles. After a while, I could write 10 articles in 2 hours. They were short and straight to the point. If you write in the same niche, you know what you are talking about and can just rehash your information in a million different ways.

        Do you mind if I ask a few more questions? You said they were in buyers niches with hungry buyers to start. But once you had enough money to reinvest, did you stay in any of those niches, or did you start looking for less competitive ones - or some combination of that?

        Lastly, at what point did you add an auto-responder to start building your lists?

        Thanks again.
        After I saw what that there were buyers in the niche I was invested in, I just started expanding on it. I reinvested my money into creating a website around the niche. I also saw what they were buying and liking, so I created a product. After all this was done, I started going with an auto-responder.

        Now, I am involved in lots of niches that all use the same system. It works great and I am very hands off with my previous niches.

          Hey Guys, many thanks for your replies.

          I do understand that IM takes time, and I am not looking for the misterious shortcuts.

          I do build niche blogs promoting mainly amazon products and they do work, and money is coming in every day (although not a huge some yet), so I know it works, but as you all know, it takes time, learning, testing, etc etc, to get the sites up on the top of the search engines.

          It all takes time, I am of course not afraid of that at all as I know I have to just repeat what I have done with my few sites so far, all I was trying to figure out, whether there is a simple way to get poeple to offers (such as paid traffic), as I not afraid to spend money on advertisment.

          I tried google ppc before but I always had to spend more then what I earned.

          Again many thanks everyone for your input.

            Nice, you are making money!. Just take what you are doing right now and multiply it. Find outsourcers to do all your medial tasks so you can free your time for more important duties. If you are already making money, then you know how to drive traffic at least in a small form. Multiply what you do now with the help of others. It's well worth the small investment.

          Did you do the sales copy yourself for the first product you created or did you hire out for that?
          I did all the sales copy myself. The best way I found to learn how to do good sales copy is to find the product that is doing the best in your niche. Go to their sales page and do exactly what they are doing.

          If they have a entry pop up, do the same. If they offer a bonus offer, offer a bigger bonus. If they have an optin on the sales page, have an optin. Look at who they are trying to sell too.

          Don't just copy past the page of course, but mimic the successful to find success quickly.

    Most things on IM require regular maintence to keep up with your competitors such as SEO works and that stuff however there are a few that require less work.

    You should read a post previously by this person who talked about his site with passive income.

    You might also be interested in affiliate offers possibly set up it system like a bunch of articles and set it on the go.

    If you are able to get something viral you usually get a huge surge of income and passive income as well as it continues to spread alone saving you a lot of work.

    If you work your butt off for a year or more and you are lucky enough to luck into the right niche, you can earn decent money from Adsense. But, as someone said earlier, you need to put in some time on anything you do on the web, just like off the web.

    Nothing good happens easy or fast.
