Is it impossible to have a site that earns $5/day times 100 sites?

14 years ago

Its not crazy, its a goal!

But I will warn you trying to build up that many sites "properly" will take a long time. I would say a good year to make all the content and build all the links.

It's by far not a get rich quick method, but if done right you can make yourself a stable income.

It is very possible. The keyword is "outsource."
It will probably take content sites, so adsense might not be a bad idea for such a plan.

I did the math on that and it comes out to $182,500 a year....not bad for a years pay if you can keep the sites on the #1 spot or earning $5/day......

Here's another wicked plan....after you have the 100 sites up and running and you've outsourced the up keep.....start cranking out 2 sites a week.....hang on to them and after 6 months worth of data and analytics sell them on flippa for about $4k a piece....i figure if you can show that a site is profiting $5/day then after 6 months of constant traffic someone would buy the site...or even maybe toss in a few articles and mined out keywords to sweeten the deal.....

that brings that profit to $384,000 a year....toss in your niche farm of 100 sites and its a grand total of $566,000 / year....not bad for just cranking out 2 sites a week and paying a few folks....i know i know that just sounds crazy..but if i can get a fraction of that money I'd be making a decent income.....

I've recently sold a site that was making between $2 - $3 a day. I managed to get the site to the first page of Google in less than 6 weeks for a few keywords. A few days before selling the site it also made $36 in commissions. The site is steadily holding the #5 spot in Google. Unfortunately the affiliate commissions were few and far between. But this site motivated me to try and replicate it's success with many other niche sites.

I now have developed a system where I can create one site a day or maybe two if I work hard enough. I'm sure I could have gotten that site to making $5 a day or more by writing a few more articles. My goal is to have at least 30 sites by the end of December. Let's see how that goes

But I'm a true believer in having multiple sites generating a few dollars a day. The hardest part is the off-page SEO, it is just too time consuming. So the only way I can really achieve my goals would be to outsource most of the off-page stuff. For me, the site needs to be somewhere withing the top 5 results in Google to really make any money, and through organic search.

Imagine having you account suspended for doing nothing wrong. For supposedly violating terms and conditions. Its happened to me and many other people. Still irrational?

Point is don't solely rely on adsense or put most of you efforts on adsense. Add abit of cpa clickbank etc

Exactly. Never, never, never put all your eggs in one basket.

BTW I am one of the many who has just had my adsense account shut down by Goggle.

Still struggling to make up the lost revenue. I've gone from about $350 a day to around $8 a day from the same sites (72 in total). Not to mention the hassle of having to strip the adsense code out of each site.

It was good while it lasted, but I wish I diversified a bit more in the beginning.

  I suggest that you go to Webmasterworld and pm a Google staff called adsenseadvisor who is active in the Google Adsense forum. Your monthly earnings is big enough for them to take a second look. Whereas I am sure if you earnings had been in the range 2 to 3 figures a month, they would not bother at all.
  
  Mine was shut after a series of warning letters. Again in the warning letters, it just referred to their terms and conditions with no further explanation. My guess was that it was for the use of low quality "MFA" sites i.e. sites that "do not provide good user experience"
  
  I did not really intend these low quality mini-sites for Adsense but as a front for my main domaining business. Adsense codes were put on them as an afterthought and I regret doing that.
  I have spoken to an Adsense staff at an Adsnese fair previously and he said that MFA is extremely ill defined and is completely up to Google and in particular the person who reviews your sites at the time. Basically, you can have a site with 100% unique content and it can still be deemed to be MFA whereas other sites with almost 100% duplicate content would be alright.
  
  My account had already been suspended a few years back on suspicion of "invalid clicks". I was totally innocenet and managed to apply to have my account re-instated successfully. Then I was earning 4 figures but the earnings collapsed to 3 figures this time round. I suppose this round, it didn't matter as much. I was able to replace the lost income quickly through increasing my efforts in affiliate marketing.

Adsense, affiliate and CPA sites each require different strategies to be effective often aren't compatible with each other. Mixing them is a sure way to dilute the earnings potential of all of them.

Secondly, there are risks for every type of online marketing. Adsense accounts get shut down, affiliates cut their program, kick people out for no reason or go out of business, CPA offers come and go quickly and are often scammy and in trouble with the law. If you concentrate too much on the risks you probably won't be seeing too much in the way of rewards.

Fair point. The thing is with adsense types program is that Adense is the best out there. You do have YPN and adbrite etc but they are not as good and don't pay as much. So you only have 3 of those types. Affiliate programs come and go but at least you can still come back in other ones. With Adsense there is NO way back in unless you have complete new details.

You'll have to create content sites for words that get decent searches. The trick about it is you can have one site earning you this kind of money and optimize it for CPA or something instead of adsense. One site with hundreds of pages of unique quality content ranking for high searched keywords is better then having one hundred low quality ones. Plus certain keywords will het you more per click which means you'll need less traffic.

Plus the management of them all would make it very frustrating. I remember I read an article on this forum called how to make a million dollars a year with adsense. I don't know what happened to the article, but I'm sure if you do a google search you may find it.

In the Adsense days, that was a standard business model.

A lot of people would rather not have all of their eggs in one basket.

Multiple web-sites help spread the risk.

Why only $5/day though? Why only 100 web-sites? Why not 1,000 web-sites making $10 per day each? Or 100 websites making $100 per day each?

It is possible to have 100 sites earning a culumative $500 per day, but it won't be each site earning $5 each. Things just don't work out like this; you will probably find that a small proportion of sites makes most of the money. The trick is to find out which sites make money and concentrate on these.

IMHO, using simple additive models like this is one of the biggest myths around. I do have experience in this matter because I run 600-1200 sites at any one time anf 10% of my sites make over 90% of the money.

As was mentioned, Joel Peterson is doing this with his "Mini Site Formula" product and is making a quarter mil a month at it. Though, I think that his current marketing model is probably more centered around selling the concept of Mini Sites than actually building them much anymore - I could be mistaken.

In any case, to make this work, you'll need to do heavy outsourcing since the nuts & bolts time requirements for maintaining your stable of sites will quickly overwhelm you. Time-management would be critical!

And, as others have mentioned, there is the very real possibility of stepping over some invisible line and getting your accounts canceled by Google, Ebay, Amazon, etc.

That's a lot of Blood, Sweat, & Tears to have invested and wasted because of the whims of some "cubical dweller" somewhere who doesn't like the sound of your domain name!

Anyway, that's what prevented ME from pursuing the idea too far.

YMMV

This model can work and I know people who do it successfully.

They have 100's of sites which make $1 to $20 per day, the scattergun approach.

Guru marketer Armand Morin recommends this approach for newbies.

It isn't for everyone though, I personally don't do it and I make plenty of money selling quality products selectively from list building etc.

I guess anything is possible once you put your mind to it.

In my case I am starting with a more realistic goal of building 10 sites that are highly targeted to hungry buyers in a small niche.

If I can average about 10 dollars a day from each one, that would equal 100 dollars in revenue each day. bringing me about 3 grand a month.

I can easily live on this and be comfortable.

Of course, I can focus on the sites that are doing better and scale them up if I wanted to.

Anything is possible. It just takes a plan and sticking with it.

Yes you can.

Howver you will probably need to build 1000 sites before you find the 100 sites that are all making $5 a day.

Many people do the maths and think yipee, "if I only make 1000 sites each making $1 dollar a day, then I will be rich."

In reality, it is very unlikely. As you build and maintain each site, your other ones will be losing rankings, de-indexed, etc.

What might happen if you are lucky or good at niche selection is you will build 100 sites and 2 of them will make $30 a day or so, 20 of them will make $1 a day and the rest will make $0.20 per day.

Of course if you choose to spend and invest a lot on promoting each site so that they all make $5 per day, you will probably need a couple of years to reach that goal and several thousand for outsourcing and maintenance.

If that model were so effective you would be hearing of people just rolling in cash.

But on the backend of every business model has to be customers willing to spend.

It's very possible. It's going to take a big time investment and some work but you can get there if you set goals and follow them on a daily basis. I'm currently in the process of doing that same thing right now. I've got 10 Clickbank sites that bring in very steady income every day and now I'm just ni the scaling part of the plan.

It took me the longest to set up the first site and make it profitable, after that it's all about repeating your efforts once you find the magic method.

The bottom line is, if you can make $1 a day in Internet Marketing, in theory, you can multiply what you did to make that dollar by 100 and come out with $100 a day. Hope this helps!

If you use Adsense, and you build out 100 sites with 10 pages each that get indexed in medium traffic areas, like products, then yes. If you go for review sites, it is still possible, but not with the same ease.

It also depends on how you want to earn the money. Most sites with Adsense can get $1 to $5 per day. But the problem is time.

For instance, you need to have unique content. if you can write an article for each of the 10 pages, at 15 minutes an article, that is 2.5 hours.

If you write an article for EZA to link back to the article, using the same longtail KW, and submit it, that will take another 2.5 hours and an hour for the submission.

So we are up to 6 hours.

Then, if you get backlinks from Squidoo, Hub, etc, and build those pages out to ensure you get consistent free organic traffic, that is another 2 hours (if you only pick a few of the keywords)

If you outsource it, you can cut the time spent down, but you are out an initial few hundred dollars to create the site.

Multiplying this, you can spend a few thousand dollars to get the consistent income, but this will happen over the next few months.

So, it is possible, but unless you outsource this kind of work, I would count on spending 8 - 10 hours a day per site to get a consistent income in 100 days, however, if you are willing to spend upfront, you could have a consistent monthly income and be out of debt and in the money in about 60 days depending on the sales you make or the Adsense your earn.

Most definately possible to have multiple sites accumulating small amounts of money. As has already been said though, not all sites are going to generate income.

You will find some will generate loads of cash, while others will net you a very low dollar income. I suggest you start out by creating 10 sites all different from each other and market them all differently. Find out what works, then expand on the sites/marketing that converted well for you.

Its all about finding what works and going from there

Personally I feel that you're better off creating a single site (maybe 2 - 3) and focusing on maximizing their value. If you can get top rankings for a competitive keyword, not only will you get the traffic you need for AdSense, but you'll also get individuals contacting you direct to purchase links. That's what I did for The Marketing Blog and have done very well from a financial perspective.

Having more than a dozen sites is just difficult to manage. If you have some automated software that can create the sites for you, that thinking may be short term. Even if you want to generate a few dollars from each, you'll need traffic!

  So many people keep saying that to have 100 sites making $5 per day you'll need to have 500 sites or 1000. My question is why???
  
  Sure you'll have some sites that earn zero or only $1. But it's entirely possible to have sites that earn $20+ and the overall average could be $5 per day without having 500 sites.
  
  Also, everyone seems to be talking about adsense. The OP didn't mention adsense at all. They just asked if it was possible to have 100 sites and make $500 per day and the answer is, absolutely.
  
  Adsense is one monetization method but a lot of people are also having great results with clickbank products, cpa offers, conduit style review sites etc.
  
  And to anyone who is saying "I'd rather have 5 sites making $100 per day" I would like to have 100 sites making $100 per day.
  
  You absolutely can make $500 per day with 100 sites.
  
  Thanks

  A lot of people here have experience with using a lot of mini-sites and therefore could make a reasonable estimate.

  When I had an e-commerce shop, that one site certainly earned as much as hundreds of mini-sites but I have no regrets of shutting down my shop because the workload was far too high for the profit earned. In the end, it really boils to what you want to do. If you really want to make it big, it is probably a good idea to concentrate on one or a few quality sites only.

It's possible but not necessarily effective. Management will be a pain in the ass. It's much more effective to focus on one niche and milk it maximally to bring you 500$ a day.

I agree, having 100 sites yeilding $5+ a day each is a lot harder than creating 2-3 sites earning $250+ a day. Also with 100 sites yielding $5 a day, you'll most likely have 200-300 sites total.

Also bear in mind that making 100 sites will cost you more than to focus on one site. Even if you outsource, the design, domains and everything will cost you time and money!

Hi there,

I have been using Niche Profit Classroom to build up my niche website portfolio.

100 sites are achievable in my view with a lot of content writing and site building. I would say in about 12 to 18 months of hard work you can have 100 sites.

My feeling is that you want to mix up your portfolio as well. Use a combination of your own products or good quality PLR, affiliate products like Clickbank and CJ and also CPA offers.

What is good about joining Niche Profit Classroom is that it's like a club with video instruction and an active forum.

They give you niche websites and the exact formula to follow to get traffic. This is done with article marketing. The main thing will be to get your article writing outsourced to the Philippines or Kenya or somewhere cheap. I think it's what takes most of the time.

The website building that they show you is all done in Wordpress; which is easy.

I would say you can have each site up in 2 hours per site if you have all the graphics, auto-responder series and articles prepared. Have your graphics artist and writer on speed dial.

I think I know what my new years resolution will be....100 sites all making money in a year.

I hope we call all retire in 12 months, good luck...

Thanks

The responses here are fascinating.

100 sites each making $5 a day is a perfectly good GOAL. You're going to learn a lot on the way - such as how to make a site in your sleep, how to research, how to manage a huge site farm. How to acquire thousands of articles, how to SEO. And so on.

It's an adventure. Each site will be different and have different results. You'll get a lot of experience. You'll figure out what parts come easily to you and what things you just hate to do.

You'll make lots of mistakes and have lots of problems - and this is where your real learning comes from. What to avoid, what to change. What everybody else is doing that doesn't work.

I wonder if there really is a way to figure out that a site will make exactly $5 a day? That would be an awesome thing to discover! More likely you'll have sites with a wide variety of earnings.

Somewhere along the line you will find that you have enough knowledge of site-management to decide what to do - focus on the high earners or keep making sites (or give it all up and sell ice cream on the beach). You'll know what it costs to make a site and have a good idea of what kind of site that will be profitable - and you can keep going and going.

This online business changes on a regular basis. When you've made 100 sites you have a good baseline for judging those changes.

Go for it!

Thanks

Here is one risk in case of adsense:

- Some competitors can hunt your site and will click on your ads repeatadly to kick you off from adsense. It happens with many people (i know few personally).

- Adsense will not give you reason for BAN as well in some case, but if get banned you can contact and tell them about your situation. That'll help in some cases.

And for this reason i've kept adsense ads to minimum sites instead of showing to all sites.

At this century, nothing is impossible.

You need to set your goals and objective must be clear. You will need to be constant with building your sites each day. Every single effort that you put in will harvest its fruits at a later stage. Those who gave up too quickly will not see the result.

Remember when you are building up your sites, it has to be gradually instead of generating 100 sites in one day filled with articles.

I always believe in slow and steady wins the race.

It's more likely to earn an AVERAGE of $5 per day per site, based on my experience with Adsense. In other words, if you have 50 sites, you might earn $250 per day (hard to do) or $5 per site on average.

But to get enough people to visit gobs of sites to produce $5 a day EACH? That's a tough nut to crack.

Definitely possible, although I would rather have 10 sites making $50 a day then 100 making $5.

I understand that the op was asking about mini sites. I was stating that I don't believe you'll will need to create 1000 sites or more before you hit $500 per day with your mini sites.

I have a number of mini sites myself. I'm not up to $500 per day yet but I do average more than $5 per day per site. Some of my sites make very little but some do pretty well and the average is greater than $5 per day. When I do hit the $500 per day mark, I will have made far less than 1000 sites to get there.

Yes, it is highly possible. ($150 per month per website)

One way to do this is to work with 100 people who enjoy writing.
Another way is to work solo and target profitable topics. This may take a while.

Kind regards,
