Use the 5 yard rule.... or leave thousands on the table

What's the 5 yard rule? In American football, you need 10 yards to get a First Down, basically more chances. First downs are good. But you only get 3 chances! So, the 5 yard rule: any play that gets 5 yard, try it again until it stops working! What does this mean in IM?

Have many newcomers have come here saying ' I only made $20 a day, not worth it'. Here's where the 5 yard rule comes in:

Have a site making $20 a day? Make it bigger! Do keyword research and see if it would be easy to add more ranking pages.

Already have content for all of the good keywords? Use a rank checker and build backlinks to rank for more keywords.

Totally dominating that niche already? Build another site! Or...

Sell your $20 a day site (600 per month) for 5-6k, put half in savings and spend the other half to outsource the creation of 5 more small sites. Now you're making $100 per day and barely working!

NONE of this is unrealistic, you only need to get to $10-$20 per day...

Stop reading this, write a list of all of your online assets. Blogs, sites, videos... think how you could take them just one more level, and enjoy more earnings from less work :-)

Definitely some good advice here for those starting out in the industry.
