First Google Paycheck! In 5 Months!!

Hi, first of all, I started learning about IM in May 2009 and started reading from Warrior Forums. I focused on creating several sub niche blogs and providing content, but the toughest part is to drive traffic to my sites.

After that, I discovered an instant and effective method to boost my sites from 10 page impressions to 3000 within a day. That is simply creating videos, uploading to youtube, place a backlink to my blog. I guess it is a lot more effective than having a content rich site (although content is important too). After a week, Google placed my site #1 for a 33000 search volume keyword.

I'm no guru, but I've conluded a simple procedure for myself:

1. Check the keywords you would like to dominate (I would recommend sub niches of 6000 to 60000 search volume with little competition)

2. Set up blog with the keywords included in the domain name, then fill it up with usefull contents

3. Get indexed to Google, Yahoo!, Bing, Alexa, etc

4. Submit 2 articles a week to ezinearticles or any other relevant sites

5. Create an useful video a week and point it to your site (All the backlinks that I got are from YouTube, the rest will come automatically if your content is really useful for other bloggers)

Personally, I find it easier to create videos than to type a 300 words article
Any other gurus out there, please advise what other improvements can be done as I am aiming for at least $10.00 a day! Thanks!

*Edit btw I'm getting only $2.00 average a day for 6 blogs
