    Find relevant products on clickbank.

    Build your list more and more.

    Create your own product, and then after selling yourself, setup an affiliate program for it.

    Get one of your sites to a certain amount of monthly money coming in from adsense and then sell the site on flippa for 10 times the monthly amount.

    Create an expensive back end product or find a good one on clickbank, etc. Sell this backend product as a one time offer anytime someone buys one of your cheaper products.

    The skies the limit. Here is my two pieces of advice. 1) Don't do too many different things, it will just make you feel productive without actually producing anything. Focus on one or two things. 2) Don't do nothing. Nobody ever made a million dollars watching TV.

    To your success,
    Steve

      Good advice but since I am not a guru like so many people here, how do I develop my own product?

      What are the steps I should take?

    If you dont have money to invest, write articles on relevant topics for your blogs. Postthem to article directories like EzineArticles.com, Squidoo.com, Hubpages.com, etc. Search Google for article directory lists. Find a list that has the Page Rank (PR). PR goes from 1-9, 1 being the highest.

    Create a free ebook, mini course, or newsletter for your Aweber subscribers. Make 7ish messages for Aweber to be sent out 1-3 days apart from each other. Try to make a new message to send out to subscribers 1-2 weeks apart. Look for relevant products to promote to your subscribers and do a broacast every 3 weeks or so. Provide relevant information to them on a regular basis that ISNT a sale pitch. People dont like being sold to everytime they open their email.

    If you have money to spend, look into out sourcing articles, submission services, backlink services, etc. Take a hand at PPC or PPV.

    Good Luck,
    Mike

    Okoji,
    My first piece of advice would be for you to find your passions, desires, skills, what things you know that you are good at (whether you have learned them in school or not) These things will often point you to what you would be good at doing.
    The next thing that I would do is figure out who I deal with the most. Is it musicians?, internationals, international travelers, health care workers

    One you find out who your target market is, then you can start thinking about you could go about solving a problem that they may have. Whether that's through click bank, or someother network.
    While you have probably heard the phrase "find out what they want. Go get it. And give it to them" is the way to make money online.
    I would say that it's not th most complete way. Before you start selling something, you have got to know a lot about you an who you are.

    Start looking to solve local problems. Then look for ways to solve the problems of say possibly foreign travelers. If you do have internet access, if it's now catching on where you are it might be an opportunity to you. I have more to say, but I'll PM you.

    You've got some things already in place and you've already gotten some results, great job!

    You're ahead of most already.

    Now, what you need to do is focus on TRAFFIC. 90-95% of your focus should now be on traffic. Without targeted people going to your websites, clicking on links, buying stuff, you won't make money. If you don't have much to spend, then you'll need to focus on free traffic; articles, youtube, facebook, twitter, fiverr, podcasts, squidoo, etc., etc.

    It would be a good idea for you to add some more but make sure thy are somehow related. This would expand your money-making capabilities. But limit yourself to five blogs/sites first and focus more on the content and on how you can increase their PR through back links or other SEO methods you are comfortable with. You can outsource if you want to save yourself from too much effort. However, like what Steve said, you should work hard for it and monitor your growth to make sure you are on the right path.

    I Suggest you writing/buying some unique articles and add CPA, ClickBank to the blog.
    And Try to get some backlinks to your website.

    $1000/month just through adsense will be very tough. That would require a tremendous amount of traffic. I have always been told by people that you should most definitely not depend on AdSense as a primary income. It should always be supplementary to your bigger campaigns using video marketing, article marketing, etc. Just put the adsense link on your website, then after that strictly focus on driving traffic to your website and making changes as necessary. Also continue to build your list and offer free mailing's for promising JV partners.
