So i set what i think is a pretty manageable goal of making 10$/day within a month. I made up a plan of action and was just wondering if you guys think it would work.

1. Pick 3 different subjects with 5 keywords relating to each one.
2. Write articles for each keyword and have them link to my blogger page.
(going for free hosting for now)
3. Have my blogger page be basically trying to pre sell the item and have liks to actual sell page.
4. Also on the page have an opt in list for a free e-book containing PLR articles and other information

Does that sound fairly good to start? Of course ill branch out and do more after i get that basic set up going.

    Well, $10 day...that's not a lot of money, and for that amount your plan looks good to me!

    One thing I would do different, is instead of using Blogger, host it yourself.

    I assume by subjects you mean aspects of one niche, so they're three catagories of your main niche? Sorry I'm stabbing in the dark here. You probably mean 3 niches if you pick 5 keywords for each. If thats the case it may be good to focus on one niche and give it you're all for now. Get a wordpress blog from the wordpress.org, it's free and you have way more control over a blogger blog, all you need is to buy the domain and hosting which isn't much at all. Besides if the blogger blog is pre selling I 'm figuring the sales page is hosted somewhere, or it's an affililiate link. As for the mailing list, yes go for it but make sure the PLR stuff is good and worth giving out, it needs to be good. Again if you're buying PLR stuff, may as well go beyond a blogger blog and have your own. I've seen lots of people that use blogger but I just prefer the control of actually owning my blog.

    I think you've probably, from what I can tell, got a good base plan but if your starting and you can write articles well, why not set up a service and just write 500 word articles for $10 a pop, one a day and hey presto, same result. You could then spend the rest of the day carrying out your plan.

    • You can buy your owndomain with blogger if you don't have 10 for regular domain get a .info for 2 bucks. At least you'll owe the traffic (instead of google).

      That being said I think going from 0 to 10$ per day or 300 per month is actually a pretty challenging goal. But I am not an expert.

    I can also suggest that you start with your own website. You can get it for cheap, and you will benefit a lot more from it.

    and only $10?

    Aim a lot higher and you will also make a lot more. It is alot about your mindset in this game.

    your goal is what i would call realistic, However in saying that its still very hard to achieve that, i wish i could. i am with the other guys in this one. get your own domain atleast that way you can utilize far more tools to leverage and better track your results/traffic

      Honestly, your plan sounds a bit scattered and not fully thought out to me.

      1. Pick 3 different subjects with 5 keywords relating to each one.
      2. Write articles for each keyword and have them link to my blogger page.
      (going for free hosting for now)
      3. Have my blogger page be basically trying to pre sell the item and have liks to actual sell page.
      4. Also on the page have an opt in list for a free e-book containing PLR articles and other information
      1. I would stick with one subject.

      2. How many articles are you planning on writing? Just 5 for each subject? I don't think this will be enough to make a dent. I could be wrong, but those better be some really great articles and some secret niche no one has tapped into but has high demand.

      3. This is ok if you need to do the free hosting thing. But might I suggest - scrape up 99 cents and go buy a domain. If you do this, you don't have to worry about losing access to the blogger site. Let me explain - use the domain you buy as a link that forwards to your blogger blog for the time being. When you scrape up enough to get your own hosting you'll be able to transfer that blog to your own hosting and you'll have some backlinks already in place to a domain name you own .

      4. What list builder were you going to invest in? Companies like Aweber are going to hit you up for 20 bucks a month. Also, where will you be keeping this hidden download? Or do you plan to attach it as a file to the autoresponder?

      You're "sort of " there, and I don't mean to paralyze you from taking action - but I think your actions need to be increased a bit if you plan to see a return - ie add some additional traffic strategies other than article marketing -- and write out some more specific details to your plan.

    Hi Pete

    Go ahead and start out with a blogger blog if you want. From personal experience, I can tell you that people do buy from these, BUT . . .

    Your blogger blog must have several posts with high-quality information (about the same topic). Think about different angles you can take with your subject matter. Do good research on the topic. You want to talk about the problem or issue they want solved, then show them a way it can be solved.

    Do not make your posts too sales oriented.

    Use the word "You" and "You're" a lot. Pull the reader in emotionally.

    I suggest only putting a link to your affiliate product in the top 1 or 2 posts. So, if you have a total of 5 posts, you'd put a link at the bottom of the very first post that they read, and maybe the second post.

    Your top post should be the most powerfully written one. It's the first one the visitor reads, and it should grab the their attention and lead them to clicking on your affiliate link.

    Your link at the bottom could say something like: Yes, I wanna know more about xyz

    Doing things this way, you'll be able to test out different niches, without investing in a domain name and hosting. Plus, you'll get to practice your writing technique.

    If you find a really good niche with buyers, then you can move forward with the domain and hosting accounts, and building an authority site around that subject.

    Be very careful with blogger. If you make more then one post directing visitors to an affiliate product or the same link they will ban your entire google account.

      Have you experienced that or did somebody tell you that? I still have all my Blogger blogs so maybe they do ban but it's clearly not automatic.

    Can I make a recommendation on scrapping blogger and setting yourself up with a wordpress blog? If money is the issue to start, you can host it some place like freehostia and still get a one click install of wordpress, you can also use a co.cc free domain for your first site til you are earning and want to go to self hosted and a premium domain.

        Hey peteJ,

        Sounds like you've got a pretty good plan so far. Like the others mentioned, you might try and host your own site or blog but other than that, it sounds like you're on the right track.

        I would suggest that you might want to focus on one niche at a time. Get the first one up and running with good results, and then move to the next.

        This gives you an opportunity to learn from your mistakes (or successes) on one niche at a time, and not all three.

        Stick with it and before you know it, you'll be laughing at the fact that you only shot for $10 a day!

        Best of luck to you!

    Hi Pete,

    Listen very closely to what Richard Van and Avenue Girl are telling you, the advice is golden.

    Here are a few other links for you to check to help you out:

    Free Hosting - Get yourself a cheap .info domain and use free hosting to start, or get a free domain name from below, too. Use blogger to drive traffic to your site.

    FreePassHost.com - Free Web Hosting for Internet Marketing, Article Marketing, Niche Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, List Marketing, Squeeze Pages, Nanosites

    Free Hosting, Paid Hosting, Reseller Services & VPS Servers : Byet Internet

    CO.CC - Free Domain name registration + Free DNS service.

    Last suggestion, going off of what Richard Van suggested, go to:

    Unique content - Textbroker.com

    You can pick up a couple articles to write each day and have your $10/day, use it to reinvest in your business buying a domain name and hosting on HostGator (my favorite).

    Barry
