If you had the time to put into any kind of IM venture, where would you concentrate your efforts into drumming up an additional $3-5K per month?

    Short term or long term? The quickest way is definately CPA stuff via PPC , but if you're looking for something more longer term (Although it can be done quickly with some experience) doing CPA via SEO is quite the thing, and much cheaper than PPC.

      Well long term ultimately. I would like to have an additional $3-5K per month steadily by the end of the year let's say, but I'd need to see some results within a shorter timeframe to know I'm at least on the right track.

      OK, CPA via SEO. So I belong to a bunch of affiliate networks, CJ, Pepperjam, Neverblue and a few others. What's the process you use? Are you just putting up niche based Wordpress blogs and wallpapering them with CPA banners and such then writing articles? I could really use a step-by-step guide of some sort.

        I'm doing highly relevant blogs to a specific CPA offer, let's say home Biz Op.

        I find high traffic , under-promoted keywords and go after them like crazy, promoting a page that talks about the offer and feeds em to the advertiser's landing page (no banners).

        I'll be writing a blog post on it here soon , but never the less when I really started to do SEO hardcore, my first 2 REAL weeks, i was able to bring in right around $16,000 in income with a cost of $17 (2 domain names). SEO is like a U shaped income curve , can start off great , go down after a few weeks, then come back up and stay there for quite some time.

        Finding backlinks is key , but there are so many free tools out there, it's getting quite easy to mine for high PR links to push pages.

          This sounds like a good track for me. I've got so many different things I'm trying out, I lose focus. Where do you get your CPA offers from? What aff. network? So you'll just reg. a keyword rich domain relevant to the CPA offer and throw up a Wordpress Blog?

      "What should I do with my life?" Is tuff to answer if we don't know you.

      Looking at your profile I found your Twitter Software... If you can get followers, I can tell you that Adult Dating is a huge market... 50% of the population is single and everyone gets horny. Rev Share is best if you have time to build... Good luck.
      Thanks. I have years of making money online with web hosting and about a year or so of IM "experience". I'd like to avoid the dating and "adult" end of the spectrum. I can certainly generate Twitter followers and I've been using that a bit, but I'm looking for something a bit more lucrative and steady.

    Figure out something that can make you $1 a day and is scalable. Multiple, add water, etc.

    I know you're looking for something a bit more specific, but you said you've been doing IM for a year. If you've got anything that's making money, even a little bit, there's potential to duplicate what you did and scale it out.

      I've tried a bit of that with Ebay, building BANS sites and was successful for a while, but then they changed their ACRU structure and that kind of fell apart. I like the concept of getting the $1 a day thing and duplicating it a thousand times in concept, but have struggled with it in reality. I guess it's finding the consistency that's the problem. I've made some money with Clickbank, some with EPN (Ebay), some with Amazon, some with CJ and a few others, but consistency seems to be the issue.

    I made some fast cash finding two tier affiliate programs which were not listed on many affiliate directory's and posting an advert on those with my affiliate link to the affiliate join page.... basically ended up with an army of affiliates pitching products for me with me earning 5% to 10 % of their sales due to me listing solely two tier programs. The cash added up rather fast.

    1st time I have ever dropped that hint. It pays out pretty good though , more so if the program you find and list is a good one. All you need is a list of affiliate directory's and Google and some time !
