Going Online Full-Time After Losing My Job...

[zuberr]

The software company for which I was working went bankrupt and
closed down. Luckily, I have been quite active in Internet Marketing
and the last few months I have been earning almost the same as my
current salary as a software engineer.

So now that I am unemployed and left with only one source of income,
I have decided that I would prefer going online full-time rather than
wasting my time finding a new job, filling applications, going on
interviews, etc...

I make most of my money from one site which is in the relationship niche.
I use article marketing almost exclusively to promote the affiliate products
on my site. Since some weeks I also hired an article writer and I am training
her to write good quality articles.

My problem is that I want to DOUBLE my current online income as quickly
as possible. Honestly, I get like a mind block and I can't figure how to do
that. I don't know if I should:

1) continue writing more and more articles on my current niche and
saturate the web (and make my writer sick of writing on same topic)
2) create a site in a new niche and market it the same way I am
marketing my current site?
3) optimize my site for better conversion rate (which I have no idea
how to do)
4) anything you warriors can advice me to do

P.S. I think I am the one and only full-time IMer and Warrior from Mauritius.

P.P.S. If you don't know what's Mauritius. It's the name of a small island
in the Indian Ocean

First of all I admire your focus and want to encourage you to keep your chin up as you start a new venture.

As the only FT IMer from Mauritius (if that's the case) you could journal what you do and sell that knowledge to others in your goegraphic area. You could become the authority if you go about it correctly.

In regards to what to do, Article marketing is a safe bet but also consider adding video marketing too.

Just a few suggestions

Keep winning!

The dating niche - along with its sub-niches like PUA, relationship help, internet dating, real life dating, etc. - is a very fertile subject for many possible article topics. I am sure your writer won't get sick writing your materials, Zuberr.

Where other people would have a bleaker outlook on life in a similar predicament, you manage to keep a clear perspective of what you need to do. This is admirable indeed, and I know for certain that only great things will come your way.

Thanks a lot for replying guys.

I was also thinking of doing some video marketing, but since
I don't have the tools and skills for creating videos, I am still
a bit hesitant.

Is using PLR videos a good idea?

Thanks for your kinds words. I needed that for motivation as almost everyone
of my closed ones seem to not like the idea of going online FT too much.

I will look into other sub-niches and expand my niche and my site. That's a good idea.

Hi zuberr,

I will be losing my job at the end of March and I am going full time also. With the money I have made so far I am going to out source my article writing and submission. The only advice I can give you is, whatever you are doing with the money site you do have, do the same with another one.

The only tool you need is windows movie maker, it is free and is very simple to use.

As much as we IMers hate to do the jobs, it really sucks when we
lose one source of income

I'm absolutely need to double my online income in a month or two...
